Compaq HSG80 Array Controller ACS Version 8.4 Configuration and CLI Reference Guide
Command Overview
The CLI consists of six basic command types:
■ Controller Commands—Configure the controller’s SCSI ID numbers,
maintenance terminal characteristics, CLI prompt, and so forth. Controller
commands are also used to shut down and restart the controller.
■ Device Commands—Create and configure containers made from physical
devices attached to the controller.
■ Storageset Commands—Create and configure complex containers made from
groups of device containers. There are four basic types of storagesets: stripesets,
RAIDsets, striped-mirrorsets, and mirrorsets. Storageset commands group device
containers together and allow them to be handled as single units.
■ Logical Unit Commands—Create and optimize access to logical units made from
any container type.
■ Failover Commands—Configure the controllers to operate in transparent failover
while also providing support for dual-redundant configurations.
■ Diagnostic and Utility Commands—Perform general controller support
functions.
Getting Help
Help on using the CLI is at your fingertips. For an overview of the CLI help system,
enter help at the prompt. For help on a specific command or to determine what
switches are available with a command, enter as much of the command as you know
followed by a space and a question mark. For example, to get information on the
switches used with the SET THIS_CONTROLLER command, enter:
SET THIS_CONTROLLER ?
