4-11 Using batch files to execute commands
The following commands can be used with the batch option (-b or --batch) specified to execute
commands (set in a batch file) together.
•
AddLun
•
DeleteLun
•
AddLUSE
•
DeleteLUSE
The above commands can be executed with the batch option specified to set and clear settings for
paths of several LDEVs. This is convenient in cases such as when installing a new storage
subsystem.
Up to 1,500 commands can be set in a single batch file. When the batch functionality is used, up to
100 commands are processed together according to the execution conditions. The command
execution results are also output each time they are processed together, in groups of up to 100. If
an error occurs during command execution, processing terminates at that point. If an error occurs
while the batch functionality is executing, commands subsequent to the error are not processed. In
this case, create the batch file again, and then execute the batch functionality. For details about
what to do when errors occur, see
.
NOTE:
When the batch functionality is executed, HP recommends using the
AddArrayReservation
command to lock the target storage subsystem in advance, and prevent
other users from performing a storage subsystem allocation. For details about the
AddArrayReservation
command, see
NOTE:
If an error has occurred and the processing has stopped, you should check which parts of
the batch file have been executed. The checking process is easier if you create the batch file as
follows:
•
Write commands that have the same port or portname on consecutive lines.
•
Write commands so that the devnum follows the order of the serial number.
