Script Command Synopsis

Because you can use the script commands to define and manage the different aspects of a storage array
(such as host topology, physical disk configuration, RAID controller module configuration, virtual disk
definitions, and disk group definitions), the actual number of commands is extensive. The commands,
however, fall into general categories that are reused when you apply the commands to the different
aspects of a storage array.
The following table lists the general form of the script commands and provides a definition of each
command.
