HP 3PAR InForm OS 3.1.1 CLI Administrator's Manual

For a complete list of options available for the settask command, see the HP 3PAR InForm OS
Command Line Interface Reference and InForm OS CLI Help.
Waiting for a Task
You can use the task ID and the waittask command to ask the system to wait for a task to
complete before returning a command prompt. This prevents you from running too many tasks at
once. If you use the waittask -v option the command displays detailed task status as the task
executes, and then return after it completes. For example:
cli%
Id Type Name Status Phase Step -----StartTime---- -----FinishTime--
454 tune_vv testvol Active 2/3 0/4 Fri Apr 29 11:42:06 PDT 2005
