Transferring Files; Manual Command Entry - HP StoreOnce B6000 Series Reference Manual

The command sequence must be present in all entries. This sequence defines the intended instruction.
Depending on the instruction, object identification or parameter values might be part of the entry.
command command
(group) (action)
command sequence
A typical command sequence consists of a command element defining the group of related
operations to which the given sequence belongs. This element is followed by a command element
describing the action of the operation. Then, depending on the operation, a third and possibly
fourth element may be included to describe the subject of the action. In some cases, the command
sequence may consist of only one command element describing the action of the operation.
If the objects are defined in the instruction, up to three object elements may follow the command
sequence defining items associated with the operation.
Depending on the command entry, the sequence may end with elements defining parameter values.
Command entry is case insensitive; command words, objects, and parameters may be entered in
either upper or lower case.
The beginning elements of a user entry are compared with the allowed command sequences. If
there is a direct match, this match defines the command syntax. If there is more than one direct
match, the match with the most number of elements is used. If a match does not exist, the help
function is performed to aid the user in determining the correct entry.
Once the command sequence has been established, the entry is verified for correct syntax. If the
entry is correct, the operation is performed as defined. If there is a syntax violation, the help function
is performed to aid the user in the correct entry.
The following convention is used when describing command entry syntax:
The use of square parenthesis such as [Object] or [parameter] indicates the object or parameter
entry is optional
The use of carat parenthesis such as <Object> or <parameter> indicates user entry is required
to define the object or parameter
The use of special parenthesis such as {Object1 | Object2| .....} or {value1 | value2 | ......}
indicates a selection of one item is required among the items separated by the | character.
The use of parenthesis such as (object) indicates a label for the object will be automatically
generated by the Common CLI application. No entry is required for this item.
The use of parenthesis enclosing the phrase default=value such as (default=value) indicate
that if no value is provided for this parameter, the value within the parenthesis will be used.

Transferring Files

Transfer of files to and from the StoreOnce appliance is managed with a repository directory within
the appliance. Access to the directory is controlled via the secure FTP.

Manual Command Entry

Upon log in, the cursor appears after the command prompt. Instruction entry elements are placed
after the prompt by entering the appropriate characters and symbols. Pressing the enter key directs
the Common CLI to interpret the instruction entry and perform the defined operation. Once the
operation is completed, the command prompt is displayed and another instruction may be entered.
Prior to pressing the enter key, the text after the command prompt can be edited using the delete,
backspace, right and left arrow keys. In addition, the up and down arrow key are used to scroll
through the previously entered commands.
