Storage Enclosure Command Line Interface; Software Object Tree - Dell PowerVault MD3060e Administrator's Manual

Storage Enclosure Command Line
Interface
This guide is intended for system administrators, developers, and engineers who need to use the Storage
Enclosure Command Line Interface (secli) and its associated commands. For additional 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 on dell.com/support and read the update first because they often
supersede the information in other documents.
The Storage Enclosure CLI is a software tool that enables storage installers, developers, and engineers to
monitor and update storage enclosures and drives. Using the command line interface, commands can be
issued from an operating system prompt, such as the Microsoft Windows command prompt or a Linux
operating system terminal.
The secli can be used to perform the following functions:
• Display status information about the objects in the system.
• Update storage device firmware (EMM, drives).

Software Object Tree

The secli performs actions on specific targets on the storage enclosure(s). The tree structure of the secli
allows the user to identify the devices the software will perform an action(s) on. A high level
representation of the object tree structure is shown below.
