Interface Description

A.2

Interface Description

Use this syntax for SAS3IRCU commands:

sas3ircu > <command> <parameters>

Use a space to separate the program name, the controller number, the command, and the parameters fields. The
format of

<parameters> is command specific.

Information passes between the user environment and SAS3IRCU through the command line, the standard output
and standard error interfaces, and the program return value. It is possible to redirect the output streams as permitted
by the operating system. When the program exits, it returns a value of 0 if the command is successful. Otherwise, it
returns a value of 1.

If a command fails, SAS3IRCU prints the IOCStatus and IOCLogInfo on the console. This information is useful in
determining the cause of the failure.

A.3

Commands

The following table shows which commands SAS3IRCU supports on each operating system.

The commands are not case sensitive. The individual command descriptions use the following conventions:

Replace text enclosed in < > with a required parameter.

Replace text enclosed in [ ] with an optional parameter.

Enter parameters enclosed in { } one or more times, as required for the command.

Do not use the command-line definition characters < >, [ ], and { } on the command line.
