CLI Display Filters
Display output can be sent through different CLI display filters. By default, the CLI
display is controlled automatically by the management terminal settings. However,
you can set specific display characteristics by using the XgOS CLI display filters.
Color is also used as an inherent way to help you filter the display output and other
pertinent information in the XgOS CLI. For example, color is used for progress bars
so that you can easily see when XgOS is busy processing a command or function.
Another example of color in the CLI is in confirmation messages. If a message is
displayed in red text, that is an indication of either:
■ a warning when you are attempting to commit a change, issue a command,
perform a reset or complete some other action that will affect the current
configuration of the Oracle Fabric Interconnect.
■ an error message when a command or function was attempted but was
unsuccessful.
