Script Commands
CAUTION: Script commands are capable of changing the configuration and may cause loss of 
data if not used correctly. Command operations are performed as soon as you run the 
commands. Before using the script commands, ensure that you have backed up all data, and have 
saved the current configuration so that you can reinstall it if the changes do not work.
This chapter describes the script commands used to configure, monitor, and maintain a storage array. 
This chapter is organized into four sections:
• Command Formatting Rules lists general formatting rules that apply to the command syntax.

• Commands Listed Alphabetically lists the commands alphabetically and, for each command, includes 
command name, syntax, and parameters.
CAUTION: Commands entered using the command line interface (CLI) are capable of damaging a 
configuration and causing loss of data if not used properly. Command operations are performed 
as soon as you run the commands. Some commands can immediately delete configurations or 
data. Before using the command line interface, make sure you have backed up all data, and save 
the current configuration so that you can reinstall it if the changes you make do not work.
