Set Session

Description

This command defines how you want the current script engine session to run.

Syntax

set session errorAction=(stop | continue)
                                 password=”
                                 storageArrayPassword”
                                 performanceMonitorInterval=
                                 intervalValue
                                 performanceMonitorIterations=
                                 iterationValue

Parameters

Parameter	Description
`errorAction`	How the session responds if an error is encountered during processing. You can choose to stop the session if an error is encountered, or you can continue the session after encountering an error. The default value is stop. (This parameter defines the action for execution errors, not syntax errors. Some error conditions might override the continue value.)
`password`	The password for the storage array. Enclose the password in double quotation marks (“ ”).
`performanceMonitorInterval`	The frequency of gathering performance data. Enter an integer value for the polling interval, in seconds, for which you want to capture data. The range of values is 3 to 3600 seconds. The default value is 5 seconds.
`performanceMonitorIterations`	The number of samples to capture. Enter an integer value. The range of values for samples captured is 1 to 3600. The default value is 5.

Additional Information

When you use this command, you can specify one or more of the optional parameters.

Passwords are stored on each storage array in a management domain. If a password was not previously set, you do not need a password. The password can be any combination of alphanumeric characters with a maximum of 30 characters. (You can define a storage array password by using the set storageArray command.)

The polling interval and the number of iterations that you specify remain in effect until you end the session. After you end the session, the polling interval and the number of iterations return to their default values.
