User guide

The parameters for the perf_findcmddev command are described below. If you
specify no parameter, multiple parameters, or upper-case parameters, the
method for specifying the command is displayed.
view
This parameter displays the settings for the command devices currently
defined in the
perf_cmddev.properties file. If an unrecognizable value is
defined in the
perf_cmddev.properties file, that value is displayed as
UNKNOWN. On lines where the definition does not follow the proper
format, all information is displayed as UNKNOWN. Comment lines and
blank lines are not displayed. In addition, if no value is specified in the
perf_cmddev.properties file, only the header is displayed. Following is an
example of output from the command.
Raid ID Serial# LDEV# Device file name
R500 14050 345 \\.\PhysicalDrive3
R601 44332 456 \\.\Volume{xxxxxxx-xxxx-xxx-xxxxxxxx}
R501 UNKNOWN 1045 \\.\PhysicalDrive10
verify
This parameter compares the settings for the command devices defined in
the file
perf_cmddev.properties to the settings for the command devices
recognized by the host. If the host recognizes multiple command devices,
the execution result is output for each, regardless of whether the checked
settings are valid.
– If the information of the command device defined in the
perf_cmddev.properties file matches the information of the command
device recognized by the host, the following message is displayed:
The definition of the command device is valid.
– If the host does not recognize the command device defined in the
perf_cmddev.properties file:
The error message KAIC28615-W and information of the command
device that is not recognized by the host are displayed.
– If the command device recognized by the host is not defined in the
settings file:
The error message KAIC28616-W and information of the command
device that is not defined in the settings file are displayed.
write
This parameter outputs the settings of all command devices recognized by
the host to the
perf_cmddev.properties file. If no command device
recognized by the host is detected, nothing is output to the
perf_cmddev.properties file. You can use the -file option to specify the
desired file name. To specify the file name, you can use an absolute or
relative path. If the specified file already exists, a message asking if you
want to overwrite that file appears.
If you do not specify the -file option, the
perf_cmddev.properties file will
automatically be overwritten.
