/cx/bbu enable
This command enables BBU detection on the controller. If the BBU is Ready,
the controller will utilize BBU functionality in the event of a power failure.
/cx/bbu disable
This command disables BBU detection on the controller. When disabled, the
controller ignores the existence of the BBU and will show no BBU is installed
even if a BBU is physically attached.
Help Commands
The Help commands provides brief on-line help.
You can get overview help by typing Help at the top-level prompt. This
displays a brief definition of commands in both the new syntax and the legacy
syntax. (For an example, see the discussion of the command “help” on
page 78.)
You can also get help with specific commands, by entering
help
before an
object name, or by typing a question mark (?) at the point in a command
where you are uncertain what the attributes are.
Help with specific commands
If you enter the help command at the top level, you are considered to be in the
Shell Object, and the help command will provide help on the Shell commands
focus, show, flush, rescan, and commit. Using the help command on objects
(such as
/cx
,
/cx/ux
,
/cx/px
, and
/cx/bbu
), displays all possible sub-commands
associated with the object.
For example: help on the controller object
/cx,
will display all the sub-
commands associated with the controller
/cx
, like this:
//localhost> help /cx
/cx show
/cx show
