Introduction
Action
An action specifies an operation to be performed by the CLI, such
as open, create, list, exit, or show. An action is a required element,
except in subcommand mode. In most cases, actions are preceded
by a class and followed by an object, switches, and parameters.
Object
An object describes what to use in an action. Examples include
mirror, volume, mstripe, and drive_letter.
Switch
A switch is an element applied to a command that allows a
variation of the command. Switches are always optional.
If you specify a switch, it may require a value. Switches that are
Boolean do not require a value when the switch is used because the
switch defaults to TRUE or FALSE. Optionally, you can explicitly
set a Boolean switch to TRUE or FALSE.
Value
A value is a type that applies to a switch. For each switch, you can
have only one type of value. For example, a switch that is defined as
a string value can never take an integer value. A space may be used
within a value only within a quoted string. Examples of valid value
types include Boolean, integer, string, scsi_device, free_space,
and array.
You delimit a value that applies to a switch by using an equal sign,
as in the following example:
AAC0>disk list /all =TRUE
Executing: disk list /all=TRUE
Note that a space to the left or right of the equal sign is permitted.
