Example command:

The help command

To get help with the CLI, enter help at the CLI prompt, and then enter one or more help items, as follows:

=> help [item2] [item3]

A help item can be any of the following:

A CLI command ("

The variable

" on page

48

)

An HP SSA CLI keyword or keyword abbreviation

A CLI parameter

A term commonly used in HP SSA, such as migrate, extend, or cache

The word shorthand (gives a list of abbreviations for keywords in the CLI)

The help feature of the HP SSA CLI behaves like a browser search engine in that each item that you add to
the help input string reduces the amount of help output text. For example, help controller produces

extensive information, while help controller remove restricts the help output to information about how

the remove command applies to controllers.

Typical procedures

The following sections describe some common HP SSA CLI procedures.

Setting the boot controller

This procedure is only available in the offline environment.
The boot controller is the first controller that the system examines (after power up) to find a bootable logical
drive or volume. To work properly, the boot controller must have a designated boot volume. See "Setting the

boot volume (on page

53

)."

Syntax:

modify [bootcontroller=enable|disable]
