Usage Guidelines

The following list provides guidelines for writing script commands on the command line:
  • You must end all commands with a semicolon (;).
  • You can enter more than one command on a line, but you must separate each command with a semicolon (;).
  • You must separate each base command and its associated primary and secondary parameters with a space.
  • The script engine is case sensitive.
  • You can add comments to your scripts to make it easier for you and future users to understand the purpose of the script commands. For information on how to add comments, see Adding Comments To A Script File.
  • NOTE: User labels (such as for virtual disk, hosts, or host ports) are case sensitive. If you map to an object identified by a user label, you must enter the user label exactly as it is defined, or the CLI and script commands fails.
  • NOTE: You can use any combination of alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores for the names. Command names can have a maximum of 30 characters. If you exceed the maximum character limit, replace square brackets ([ ]) with angle brackets (< >) to overcome this limitation.
  • NOTE: The capacity parameter returns an error if you specify a value greater than or equal to 10 without a space separating the numeric value and its unit of measure. For example, 10 GB returns an error, but 9 GB does not return an error.
