ATTO Technology Inc. Diamond Storage Array Installation and Operation Manual

5.5 Command Line Interface Use and Guidance

The command line interface (CLI) provides access to Diamond Storage Array services through a set of
ASCII-based commands. CLI commands may be entered while in CLI mode or through the Advanced
CLI page in the ExpressNAV interface.

• CLI commands are context sensitive and

generally follow a standard format

[Get | Set] Command [Parameter 1 |

Parameter 2]

followed by the return or enter key

• CLI commands are not case sensitive: you may

type all upper or all lower case or a mixture, no
matter what the definition either in Help

or these

pages states. Upper and lower case in this
manual and the

help

screen are for clarification

only.

• Commands generally have three types of

operation: get, set and immediate as
summarized below.

The get form returns the value of a parameter or
setting and is an informational command.

Responses to get commands are specified in the
Results field for each command, followed by
Ready.

The set form is an action that changes the value of
a parameter or configuration setting. It may

require a

SaveConfiguration

command and a

system restart before changes are implemented.
The restart can be accomplished as part of the

SaveConfiguration

command or by using a separate

FirmwareRestart

command. A number of set

commands may be issued before the

SaveConfiguration

command.

Responses to set commands are either an error
message or Ready

. *

, which indicates a

SaveConfiguration command is required.

Set commands which do not require a
SaveConfiguration command, defined as
Immediate commands, are immediately
implemented.

Responses to Immediate commands are either an
error message or Ready

Symbols, typefaces and abbreviations used to
indicate functions and elements of the command
line interface used in this manual are listed below.

Command Line Interface actions and responses

Set commands configure the Diamond Storage Array and display what you have changed after
completing the task. Commands which require a

implementation will return Ready

command are immediately implemented.

Get commands display information about the configuration of the Diamond Storage Array.
Responses to get commands are followed by Ready

verbose, with labels and the current information. Default is verbose.
