Listing an LSU

OST CLI Commands
• --namematch: if specified, only storage servers whose names match the
specified pattern are listed. The wild characters ^ and $ are supported as
follows:
• ^xxx – Matching pattern xxx at the start of names
• xxx$ – Matching pattern xxx at the end of names
Remember to escape $ with a backslash because it is special to the shell. For
example, to list all storage servers ending with test in the names, type the
following command: syscli --list storageserver --namematch test\$
syscli --add lsu {--name <lsu_name> --capacity <lsu_capacity_GB>} | --
unlimited --storageserver <server_name> [--desc <lsu description>]
This CLI command allows the admin user to add an LSU to a specified storage
server. If the unlimited option is specified, the new LSU will be added with the
name _PhysicalLSU.
CLI command options:
• --add: Adds LSU to a specified storage server.
• --name: Name of LSU (Do not use _PhysicalLSU because it is a reserved LSU
name)
• --capacity: Capacity of LSU in GB
• --unlimited: if specified, the capacity will be the available physical capacity
on the system.
syscli --del lsu --name <lsu_name> --storageserver <server_name> --force
This CLI command allows a admin user to delete an LSU from a specified storage
server. If the --force option is specified, the LSU is deleted even if it is not empty
and contains files or backup images.
syscli --edit lsu --name <lsu_name> --storageserver <server_name> [--desc
<lsu description>] [--capacity <lsu_capacity_GB>]
This CLI command allows the admin user to edit an LSU attribute of the
specified storage server. The LSU description and capacity (in Gigabytes) can be
changed. If the LSU name is _PhysicalLSU, only the description can be changed.
syscli --list lsu --storageserver <server_name> [--name <lsu_name>]
This CLI command allows the admin user to display LSU attributes. If the LSU
name is not specified, all LSUs are listed.
An example output of one LSU is shown below.
