Storage enclosure command line
interface
This guide is intended for system administrators, developers, and engineers who use the Storage
Enclosure Command Line Interface (secli) and its associated commands. For more information, see the
hardware and software manuals that shipped with the system.
NOTE: CLI commands do not have interactive warnings for destructive commands.
NOTE: Always check for updates at Dell.com/dsmsmanuals and read through the update first
because they often supersede the information in other documents.
The Storage Enclosure CLI is a software application that enables storage installers, developers, and
engineers to monitor and update storage enclosures and drives. Using the command line interface,
commands can be run from an operating system prompt, such as the Microsoft Windows command
prompt.
Use the secli to perform the following functions:
• Display status information about the objects in the system.
• Update storage device firmware (EMM, drives).

Using the command line interface

A CLI command consists of the following elements:
• Runable name — secli
• Command
• Path to the target
• Additional arguments
The following syntax is the general form of a CLI command:
secli command [path-to-target-object] {additional-arguments}
Where,
secli — invokes the command-line interface.
command — is the action the utility runs.
