Entering Chassis Management Commands
Entering Commands
Most commands in this manual require that the privilege level of the user interface be set to
Privileged. If you have not already done so, set the privilege level to Privileged with the
SET PRIVILEGE command:
Xyplex> set privilege
Password>
The user interface requests a password. The factory default password is system, but the
password you use may be different. When you enter the correct password, the privileged
prompt appears:
Xyplex>>
The Privileged prompt includes a double carrot (>>) rather than a single carrot (>).
Note:
Xyplex recommends that you change the default Privilege password on all
processor modules in the chassis to ensure the security of your network. The
Software Management Guide for each product describes how to change the Privilege
password.
You enter commands at the Xyplex prompt using this syntax:
Xyplex>>
COMMAND KEYWORD variable [KEYWORD variable]. . .[[KEYWORD]
variable]
Most commands allow you to enter two or more keywords and variables on the command
line. If you do this, separate each characteristic with a space, a comma, or a combination of
both. You can enter a command line that exceeds the line length of the screen as long as
you do not press the Return key until the command line is complete. The maximum length
of a command line is 132 characters.
Abbreviating Commands and Keywords
You can abbreviate many chassis management commands and keywords to the shortest
unambiguous string of characters that the command interface can interpret. For example,
you can abbreviate the command DEFINE CHASSIS SLOT [list] LOADDUMP as DEF
CHAS SL [list] LOADDU .
Specifying Slot Lists
Many chassis management commands include the list variable, which allows you to enter
one or more chassis lost numbers. Valid chassis slot numbers are 1-6 for a six-slot chassis
and 1-15 for a fifteen-slot chassis. You can specify a sequence of numbers separated by
commas or a range of numbers with a hyphen. The list can include a sequence and a
range, but no spaces. For example, the slot list 2, 5-7 includes slot numbers 2, 5, 6, and 7.
If you do not specify one or more slot numbers in the list variable, the command interface
uses the local slot as the default. The local slot is the slot holding the processor module
where you are logged on.
