Appendix D CLI Provides an ASCII-based Interface
The command line interface (CLI) uses ASCII commands typed while in CLI mode.
CAUTION
CAUTION
Do not use CLI unless you are directed to
by an ATTO technician.
Changing parameters may cause loss of
data and/or disruption to performance and
reliability of the FastStream.
The ExpressNAV Storage Manager is the
preferred method to operate and manage
the FastStream. Refer to
ExpressNAV Storage Manager
for details.
The command line interface (CLI) is a set of ASCII-
based commands which perform configuration and
diagnostic tasks.You may use them through the
ExpressNAV Storage Manager Advanced CLI page
(refer to
RAID CLI page
serial port interface or the Ethernet management port
(refer to
Interface Options
• CLI commands are context sensitive and
generally follow a standard format
[Get|Set] Command [Parameter1|Parameter2]
followed by the return or enter key.
• CLI commands are case insensitive: you may
type all upper or all lower case or a mixture.
Upper and lower case in this manual and the
help screen are for clarification only.

• Commands generally have three types of
operation: get, set and immediate.
• The get form returns the value of a parameter or
setting and is an informational command.
• Responses to get commands are followed by
Ready.
• The set form is an action that changes the value
of a parameter or configuration setting. It may
require a SaveConfiguration command and a
restart of the system before it is implemented.
The restart can be accomplished as part of the
SaveConfiguration command or by using a
separate FirmwareRestart command. A
number of set commands may be issued before
the SaveConfiguration command.
• Responses to set commands are either an error
message or Ready. *. The asterisk indicates
you must use a SaveConfiguration command
to finalize the set command.
• Set commands which do not require a
SaveConfiguration command are immediately
executed.
Note
Using certain CLI commands during normal
operation can cause a performance drop.
Once command actions are complete,
performance should return to normal levels.
