1 Using the CLI This chapter introduces the HP StorageWorks 2300 Modular Smart Array command-line interface (CLI). Accessing the CLI The CLI software embedded in controller modules enables you to manage a storage system out of band. You can access the CLI in two ways: • By using a terminal emulator on a management host that is directly connected to a controller module’s serial CLI port.
Using CLI scripts CLI commands can be scripted using a Telnet client like Expect or a Perl library. The following example shows the Perl Expect script showfree.
The following example shows how to construct a script using a Perl library for Telnet communication. use Net::Telnet; $mVer = "v.072006"; $mLine = "=========================================================="; $mStr = "Management Controller System Cloning Utility"; $nLine = "\n"; $cliDumpFile = "get_config_dump.
Using the XML API You can use an XML parser such as XML::Parser in Perl to process the XML output and store this information as objects. The XML parser should use the Document Type Definition (DTD) version that corresponds to the firmware level to ensure that the XML is validated. By obtaining the latest DTD for validation, the parser will be forward compatible. The output of each CLI command is composed of valid XML data until the CLI prompt (typically #) is encountered.
Scripting guidelines When writing scripts to parse XML API output, use an XML library to parse the data. For parsing, a script should not rely on ordering, spacing, or column position. To find a specific property, a script should compare property names as it searches through the data. This allows the script to be compatible with future versions that could potentially add new fields to the output. The output of show commands is intended for monitoring or obtaining the current configuration.
