134 Command Line User Interface
The host port behavior defines the communication protocol the array uses to
communicate with each supported operating system. To determine which
behavior to select for communication, the array maintains a table that maps a
specific behavior to a host, identified by its WWN. When the array receives a
communication from a host, it uses the host’s WWN to select a behavior from
the table. Entries in the behavior array table are made by downloading a user
-f <filename> Identifies the file for the host port behavior table information. Table
information read from the array is written to this file, and the content of
this file is written to the array to update the table information. Relative or
absolute file paths are allowed. If a path is not specified, the current
working directory will be used.
-h <hostList> Retrieves the WWN for the hosts identified in <hostList>, a comma-
separated list of DNS names or IP addresses. The retrieved WWNs will
be written to the specified file if the -f option is included, or displayed on
the screen. This option is only valid with the -t option.
A host must be running Command View SDM to be used successfully with
this option. If a specified host is not running Command View SDM, it will
be skipped without alerting the user.
-r Reads the host port behavior table from the array and writes the contents
to the file specified by –f <filename>.
-t Retrieves the WWNs of hosts running Command View SDM. If the -h
option is not included to identify specific hosts, an attempt will be made
to locate all hosts running Command View SDM. The retrieved WWNs
will be written to the specified file if the -f option is included, or displayed
on the screen. The WWNs will be listed under their respective hosts.
-w Writes the contents of the file specified by –f <filename> to the array host
port behavior table.
-wd <WWNList> Identifies the destination WWN or WWNs that will be added to the host
port behavior table. WWNList can be a single WWN or a comma
separated list of WWNs. This option is only used with the -cp and -ws
options.
-ws <WWN> Identifies the source WWN from which host port behavior information
will be copied. WWN must already exist in the host port behavior table
on the array. This option is only used with the -cp and -wd options.
-? Display extended help message. Overrides all other switches.
