Waiting For A Task - HP 3PAR StoreServ 7200 2-node Administrator's Manual

For a complete list of options available for the settask command, see the HP 3PAR Command
Line Interface Reference and the HP 3PAR 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 and progress
messages as the task executes.
For example:
cli% waittask -v 454
Id Type
454 tune_vv testvol Active
