Using The Storage Management Service
6
The CLI of Storage Management enables you to perform reporting, configuration, and management functions of Storage Management from an operating system command shell. The Storage Management
CLI also enables you to script command sequences.
The Storage Management CLI provides expanded options for the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator omreport and omconfig commands.
NOTE: For more information, see the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Installation Guide and
Dell OpenManage Management Station Software Installation Guide. For more information on
Storage Management, see the Storage Management online Help or the Dell OpenManage Server
Administrator Storage Management User’s Guide .
CLI Command Syntax
Like all Server Administrator commands, the omreport and omconfig command syntax consists of specifying command levels. The first command level is the command name: omreport or omconfig.
Subsequent command levels provide a greater degree of specification regarding the type of object on which the command operates or the information that the command displays.
For example, the following omconfig command syntax has three levels: omconfig storage pdisk
The following table describes these command levels.
Table 62. Example Command Levels
Command level 1 Command level 2 Command level 3 omconfig storage
Use
Specifies the command pdisk
Indicates the Server
Administrator service (in this case, Storage
Management) that implements the command
Specifies the type of object on which the command operates
Following the command levels, the omreport and omconfig command syntax may require one or more name=value pairs. The name=value pairs specify exact objects (such as a specific physical disk) or options
(such as blink or unblink) that the command implements.
For example, the following omconfig command syntax for blinking a physical disk has three levels and three name=value pairs: omconfig storage pdisk action=blink controller=id pdisk=<PDISKID> where PDISKID=<onnector:enclosureID:targetID | connector:targetID>
129
In this example, the id in controller=idis the controller number such that controller 1 is specified as controller=1.
Syntax Of Command Elements
The omreport and omconfig commands have multiple name=value pairs. These name=value pairs may include required, optional, and variable parameters. The following table describes the syntax used to indicate these parameters.
Table 63. Syntax For Name=Value Pairs
Syntax controller=id connector=id vdisk=id enclosure=<ENCLOSUREID> pdisk=<PDISKID> battery=id
< >
Description
Indicates the controller ID as reported by the omreport storage controller command. To obtain these values, type omreport storage controller to display the controller
IDs and then type omreport storage pdisk controller=id to display the IDs for the physical disks attached to the controller.
For example, the controller=id parameter is specified as controller=1.
Indicates the connector ID as reported by the omreport command. To obtain this value, type omreport storage controller to display the controller IDs and then type omreport storage connector controller=id to display the IDs for the connectors attached to the controller.
For example, the connector=id parameter is specified as connector=2.
Indicates the virtual disk ID as reported by the omreport command. To obtain this value, type omreport storage controller to display the controller IDs and then type omreport storage vdisk controller=id to display the
IDs for the virtual disks on the controller.
For example, the vdisk=id parameter is specified as vdisk=3.
Indicates a particular enclosure by specifying either enclosure=connector or enclosure=connector:enclosureID.
To obtain these values, type omreport storage controller to display the controller IDs and then type omreport storage enclosure controller=id to display the IDs for the enclosures attached to the controller.
Indicates a particular physical disk by specifying either connector:targetID or connector:enclosureID:targetID.
To obtain the values for the connector, enclosure, and physical disk (targetID), type omreport storage controller to display the controller IDs and then type omreport storage pdisk controller=id to display the
IDs for the physical disks attached to the controller.
Indicates the battery ID as reported by the omreport command. To obtain this value, type omreport storage controller to display the controller IDs and then type omreport storage battery controller=id to display the ID for the controller battery.
The caret symbols (< >) enclose variable elements that you must specify.
130
|
Syntax
[ ]
Description
For example, the name=<string>parameter is specified as name=VirtualDisk1.
The bracket symbols ([ ]) indicate optional elements that you can choose whether or not to specify.
For example, when creating a virtual disk, the [name=<string>] parameter indicates that you have the option of specifying the virtual disk name. If you omit this parameter from the syntax, then a default name for the virtual disk is chosen for you.
The pipe symbol (|) separates two or more options from which only one is selected.
For example, when creating a virtual disk, the cachepolicy=d | c indicates that the cache policy is specified as either cachepolicy=d or cachepolicy=c.
User Privileges For Omreport Storage And Omconfig
Storage
Storage Management requires Administrator privileges to use the omconfig storage command. User and
Power User privileges are sufficient to use the omreport storage command.
