Dell PowerVault MD 32XX/36XX Series Storage Arrays CLI Guide

Script Command Synopsis

Because you can use the script commands to define and manage the different aspects of a storage array (such as host topology, physical disk configuration, RAID controller module configuration, virtual disk definitions, and disk group definitions), the actual number of commands is extensive. The commands, however, fall into general categories that are reused when you apply the commands to the different aspects of a storage array.

The following table lists the general form of the script commands and provides a definition of each command.

Table 1. General Form of the Script Commands
Command Syntax	Description
activate object { statement‑data}	Sets up the environment so that an operation can take place or performs the operation if the environment is already correctly set up.
autoConfigure storageArray{ statement-data}	Automatically creates a configuration based on parameters specified in the command.
check object { statement‑data}	Starts a synchronous operation to report on errors in the object.
clear object { statement‑data}	Discards the contents of some attribute of an object. This is a destructive operation that cannot be reversed.
create object {statement ‑data}	Creates an object of the specified type.
deactivate object { statement‑data}	Removes the environment for an operation.
delete object	Deletes a previously created object.
diagnose object { statement‑data}	Runs a test and displays the results.
disable object { statement‑data}	Prevents a feature from operating.
download object { statement‑data}	Transfers data to the storage array or hardware associated with the storage array.
enable object { statement‑data}	Allows a feature to operate.
recopy object { statement‑data}	Restarts a virtual disk copy operation by using an existing virtual disk copy pair. You can change attributes before the operation is restarted.
recover object { statement‑data}	Re-creates an object from saved configuration data and the statement attributes (similar to the create command).
recreate object { statement‑data}	Restarts a snapshot operation using an existing snapshot virtual disk. You can change attributes before the operation is restarted.
remove object { statement‑data}	Removes a relationship from between objects.
repair object { statement‑data}	Repairs errors found by the check command.
reset object { statement‑data}	Returns the hardware or object to an initial state.
resume object	Starts a suspended operation. The operation begins where it left off when suspended.
revive object	Forces the object from the Failed to the Optimal state. Use only as part of an error recovery procedure.
save object { statement‑data}	Writes information about the object to a file.
set object { statement‑data}	Changes object attributes. All changes are completed when the command returns.
show object { statement‑data}	Displays information about the object.
start object { statement‑data}	Starts an asynchronous operation. You can stop some operations after they have started. You can query the progress of some operations.
stop object { statement‑data}	Stops an asynchronous operation.
suspend object { statement‑data}	Suspends an operation. You can then restart the suspended operation, and it continues from the point at which it was suspended.
