cli-parameters

This basetype is used by show cli-parameters.

Table 1. cli-parameters properties
Name Type Description
timeout uint32 Time in seconds that the session can be idle before it automatically ends. Valid values are 120–43200 seconds (2–720 minutes).
output-format string
  • console: Supports interactive use of the CLI by displaying command output in easily readable format. This format automatically sizes fields according to content and adjusts content to window resizes.
  • api: Supports scripting by displaying command output in XML. All objects are displayed at the same level, related by COMP elements.
  • api-embed: Alternate form of XML output which displays “child” objects embedded (indented) under “parent” objects.
  • ipa: Alternate form of XML output which displays like api-embed format with brief mode enabled.
  • ipa: Alternate form of XML output which displays like api-embed format with brief mode enabled.
  • json: Standard JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) output.
  • wbi: A JSON-like format used internally by the PowerVault Manager.
output-format-api string
  • console
  • api
  • api-brief
  • api-embed
  • api-embed-brief
  • json
  • json-full
output-format-api- numeric uint32 Numeric equivalents for output-format-api values.
  • 1: console
  • 2: api
  • 3: api-brief
  • 4: api-embed
  • 5: api-embed-brief
  • 6: json
  • 7: json-full
brief-mode string
  • Enabled: In XML output, this setting shows a subset of attributes of object properties. The name and type attributes are always shown.
  • Disabled: In XML output, this setting shows all attributes of object properties.
brief-mode-numeric uint32 Numeric equivalents for brief-mode values.
  • 0: Disabled
  • 1: Enabled
base uint8 Alias for storage-size-base.
pager string
  • Enabled: Halts output after each full screen to wait for keyboard input.
  • Disabled: Output is not halted. When displaying output in API format, which is intended for scripting, disable paging.
pager-numeric uint32 Numeric equivalents for pager values.
  • 0: Disabled
  • 1: Enabled
locale string

The display language.

locale-numeric uint32

Numeric equivalents for locale values.

  • 0: English
  • 3: Spanish
  • 4: French
  • 5: German
  • 7: Japanese
  • 8: Korean
  • 11: Chinese-simplified
storage-size-base uint8 Base for entry and display of storage-space sizes.
  • 2: Sizes are shown as powers of 2, using 1024 as a divisor for each magnitude.
  • 10: Sizes are shown as powers of 10, using 1000 as a divisor for each magnitude.
Operating systems usually show volume size in base 2. Disk drives usually show size in base 10. Memory (RAM and ROM) size is always shown in base 2.
storage-size- precision uint8 Number of decimal places (1–10) for display of storage-space sizes.
storage-size-units string Unit for display of storage-space sizes.
  • Auto: Lets the system determine the proper unit for a size.
  • MB: Sizes are shown in megabytes.
  • GB: Sizes are shown in gigabytes.
  • TB: Sizes are shown in terabytes.
Based on the precision setting, if a size is too small to meaningfully display in the selected unit, the system uses a smaller unit for that size. For example, if storage-size-units is set to TB, storage-size-precision is set to 1, and storage-size-base is set to 10, the size 0.11709 TB is instead shown as 117.1 GB.
storage-size- units-numeric uint32 Numeric equivalents for storage-size-units values.
  • 0: Auto
  • 1: MB
  • 2: GB
  • 3: TB
temperature-scale string
  • Fahrenheit: Temperatures are shown in degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Celsius: Temperatures are shown in degrees Celsius.
temperature-scale- numeric uint32 Numeric equivalents for temperature-scale values.
  • 0: Fahrenheit
  • 1: Celsius
user-type string The experience level of the logged-in user.
  • Novice
  • Standard
  • Advanced
  • Diagnostic
user-type-numeric uint32 Numeric equivalents for user-type values.
  • 1: Novice
  • 2: Standard
  • 3: Advanced
  • 4: Diagnostic
username string The logged-in user name.
management-mode string The management mode used in the current CLI session.
  • Linear: Uses linear-storage terminology in command output and system messages. For example, vdisk for disk groups and pools.
  • Virtual: Uses terminology in command output and system messages that is generalized for managing virtual and linear storage. For example, disk group for disk groups and pool for pools.
management-mode-numeric uint32 Numeric equivalents for management-mode values.
  • 2: Linear
  • 3: Virtual
