Inlines command in symmetrix DMX/VMAX

hi mazlany,

The inline command is not customer facing command interface. As this VMAX product community is for customer learn and query VMAX features and ask for help. I'd like to recommend you search it somewhere EMC internally.

Inline commands are restricted and its internal use only.

We cannot provide inline command in this forum

command line interpreter known as inlines is well documented. Each inline command and subcommands has HELP section, which will provide in most cases a  comprehensive manual, how to use it, sometimes sample outputs etc. But I guess nobody is using this feature - based on my experience with dell/emc support - inlines is a religion and sequences to run, provided by support guides or 10th level engineering - magic. Inside it is just a simple cli - powerfull, sharp as a knife, restricted only to the support guys. The main differece to the other cli is the parser - instead "show engine 7 port 8" it will looks like AB,CD,07,EF, 08. First IBM mainframes style - from developers to techs, not for Customer. Sometimes on the chinese sites you can find a copy of the internal inlines user guide. Nothing special, but this "restricted for the support only" creates a myth. In unix you can run  "rm -rf /" . In the open systems world even  vendors of the closed linux appliances opens for the root access - a barber will not diagnose with the tech support  a sophisticated problem. By example  EMC in the last RecoverPoint firmwares. From my point of view some inlines should be somehow restricted for barbers, but some are very usefull, by example monitoring. Try do find without inlines access what is the deduplication, compression and data reduction for a volume ... If you are a Customer - no warry about Inlines - it is rally an internal tool. Use symmcli.
