1.2 The Command Syntax

1.2 The Command Syntax
This section explains command syntax.
1.2.1

Command Format

The command format is as follows:
Command name Parameter Parameter . . . Parameter
command-name: Verb section + Object section (Ex: create volume)
parameter: Hyphen(-) + Parameter name section + Operand section (Ex: -n 80)
• Basically, a command name consists of a verb section and an object section (Example: "create volume").
However, there are also some commands that consist of one word (Example: "logoff" and "shutdown").
• A parameter consists of a parameter name section and an operand section. A parameter name is
appended with a hyphen (-) before it (Example: "-name").
• An operand is always required after a parameter name (Example: "-name abcdef").
1.2.2

Keywords and Parameters

Command and parameter names are not case-sensitive and can be entered in either or both uppercase and
lowercase. Operands, however, are case-sensitive. Any of the printable ASCII codes 0x20 – 0x7e (hexadecimal
notation) are allowed as input characters. Note that the following additional restrictions apply:
• Question marks (?) cannot be used.
• When spaces ( ) are used as characters, they must be enclosed by double quotation marks (") (Example:
"ABC DEF","ABC DEF,GHIJKL").
• When double quotation marks (") and single quotation marks (') are used as characters, they must be
backslash(\) escaped. Example: "\"
1.2.3

Disk Syntax

The format that can used for disk drive numbers is either "xxyy" or "xyy". "xx" or "x" indicates the enclosure
number. "xx" indicates a 2-digit number for the enclosure number and "x" indicates a one digit number for the
enclosure number. When a 2-digit enclosure number is specified, the format "xxyy" must be used. When a 1-
digit enclosure number is specified, either format can be specified. For example, "1yy" can be specified for a 1-
digit number. However, if the format "xx" is used, 0 must be specified before the enclosure number. For
example, when an enclosure number is 1, "01yy" must be specified. For ETERNUS DX80 S2/DX90 S2, 00 or 0
indicates the controller enclosure. The "yy" is the disk drive number (a 2-digit decimal). For a 3.5" disk drive,
between 00 and 11 (a 2-digit decimal) can be specified for "yy". For a 2.5" disk drive, between 00 and 23 can
be specified for "yy".
