Appendix A - CLI ASCII-Based Interface
The command line interface (CLI) uses ASCII commands typed in the
CLI window.
The command line interface (CLI) is a set of ASCII-based
commands which perform configuration and diagnostic tasks.
You may use them through the Sonnet Web Management Tool
Advanced CLI page (refer to Advanced CLI page on page 35) or
by using the serial port interface or the Ethernet management
port (refer to Interface Options on page 47).
• CLI commands are context sensitive and generally follow a
standard format
[Get|Set] Command [Parameter1|Parameter2]
followed by the return or enter key
• CLI commands are case insensitive: you may type all upper
or all lower case, or a mixture. Upper and lower case in this
manual and the help screen are for clarification only.
• Commands generally have three types of operation: get, set and
immediate.
• The get form returns the value of a parameter or setting and is
an informational command.
• Responses to get commands are followed by Ready.
• The set form is an action that changes the value of a parameter
or configuration setting. It may require a SaveConfiguration
command and a restart of the system before it is
implemented. The restart can be accomplished as part of
the SaveConfiguration command or by using a separate
FirmwareRestart command. A number of set commands may
be issued before the SaveConfiguration command.
• Responses to set commands are either an error message
or Ready. *. The asterisk indicates you must use a
SaveConfiguration command to finalize the set command.
• Set commands which do not require a SaveConfiguration
command, defined as immediate commands, are immediately
executed.
WARNING: Do not use CLI unless you are directed to by
a Sonnet technician, as changing parameters may cause
loss of data and/or disruption to performance and reliability
of the Sonnet RAID controller. The Sonnet Web Management
Tool is the preferred tool to operate and manage the Fusion
RX1600Fibre and attached Fusion RX1600 Expansion systems.
Support Note: Using certain CLI commands during
normal operation can cause a performance drop. Once
command actions are complete, performance should return to
normal levels.
