Working with Controllers
The CLI allows you to open a controller in the following modes:
■ Read/write
■ Read-only
■ Snapshot
Modes of Opening and Closing a Controller
The CLI allows you to open and close a controller on the supported
operating system using the following modes:
■ Read/write
■ Read-only
■ Snapshot
The following sections describe how to open a controller in these
three modes and how to close a controller.
Opening a Controller in Read/Write Mode
To open a controller in read/write mode on the supported operating
system, use the
open command, as in the following example.
HPN0> open HPN0
Executing: open "HPN0"
Opening a Controller in Read-only Mode
To open a controller in read-only mode on the supported operating
system, use the
open command with the /readonly switch, as in
the following example.
HPN0> open /readonly=TRUE HPN0
Executing: open /readonly=TRUE "HPN0"
If after opening a controller in read-only mode, you decide you want
write access to that controller, you can do so without closing and
reopening the controller. Simply specify the
open command with
the /readonly switch set to FALSE, as in the following example:
HPN0> open /readonly=FALSE HPN0
Executing: open /readonly=FALSE "HPN0"
