Shell Object Commands

19

Port object commands provide information and 

perform actions related to a drive on a specific port. For example, you use port 
object commands for such tasks as seeing the status, model, or serial number 
of the drive. For details, see “Port Object Commands” on page 69. 

BBU object commands provide information and 

perform actions related to a Battery Backup Unit on a specific controller. For 
details, see “BBU Object Commands” on page 74.

 Enclosure object commands provide 

information and perform actions related to a particular enclosure. For 
example, you can use enclosure object commands to see information about an 
enclosure and its elements (slots, fan, and temperature sensor elements).

 Help commands allow you to display help information for 

all commands and attributes. For details, see “Help Commands” on page 83.

The focus command is active in interactive mode only and is provided to 
reduce typing. 

The focus command will set the specified object in focus and change the 
prompt to reflect this. This allows you to enter a command that applies to the 
focus, instead of having to type the entire object name each time.

For example, where normally you might type:

 //hostname/c0/u0 show
