CLI syntax
Whether entered in Command mode or Console mode, a typical ACU CLI command line consists of three
parts: a target device, a command, and a parameter with values if necessary. Using angle brackets to denote
a required variable and plain brackets to denote an optional variable, the structure of a typical ACU CLI
command line is as follows:
<target> <command> [parameter=value]
The <target> variable
This variable provides the path to the device that you want to configure. The device can be a controller, an
array, a logical drive, or a physical drive. The syntax used is as follows:
controller all | slot=# | wwn=# | chassisname="AAA" | serialnumber=# |
chassisserialnumber=# | [array=all|<id>] [logicaldrive all|#]
[physicaldrive all|allunassigned|[#:]#:#,[#:]#:#...|[#:]#:#-[#:]#:#]
