The Command Syntax
This section explains command syntax.
1.2.1
Command Format
The command format is as follows:
Command name Parameter Parameter . . . Parameter
command-name: Verb section + Object section (Ex: create volume)
parameter: Hyphen(-) + Parameter name section + Operand section (Ex: -n 80)
•
Basically, a command name consists of a verb section and an object section (Example: "create volume").
However, there are also some commands that consist of one word (Example: "logoff" and "shutdown").
•
A parameter consists of a parameter name section and an operand section. A parameter name is
appended with a hyphen (-) before it (Example: "-name").
•
An operand is always required after a parameter name (Example: "-name abcdef").
1.2.2
Keywords and Parameters
Command and parameter names are not case-sensitive and can be entered in either or both uppercase and
lowercase. Operands, however, are case-sensitive. Any of the printable ASCII codes 0x20 – 0x7e (hexadecimal
notation) are allowed as input characters. Note that the following additional restrictions apply:
•
Question marks (?) cannot be used.
•
When spaces ( ) are used as characters, they must be enclosed by double quotation marks (") (Example:
"ABC DEF","ABC DEF,GHIJKL").
•
When double quotation marks (") and single quotation marks (') are used as characters, they must be
backslash(\) escaped. Example: "\"
1.2.3
Drive Enclosure Syntax
The format that can be used for drive enclosure numbers is either "xx" or "x" ("xx" and "x" indicate hexadecimal
numbers). "xx" indicates a two-digit number for the drive enclosure number and "x" indicates a one-digit
number for the drive enclosure number. When a two-digit enclosure number is specified, the format "xx" must
be used. When a one-digit enclosure number is specified, either format can be specified. For example, "1" can
be specified for a one-digit number. However, if the format "xx" is used, 0 must be specified before the enclo-
sure number. For example, when an enclosure number is 1, "01" must be specified. For the ETERNUS DX100
S3/DX200 S3, from 1 to a can be specified. For the ETERNUS DX500 S3, from 0 to a and from 10 to 1a can be
specified. For the ETERNUS DX600 S3, from 0 to a, from 10 to 1a, from 20 to 2a, and from 30 to 3a can be spec-
ified.
There are no drive enclosures in the ETERNUS DX200F.
