Opening the CLI in Command mode

To use Command mode, identify the appropriate ACU CLI command
page 56). Then, add the command to the end of the text line that is used for opening the CLI in Console
mode (on page 54).
The following examples use help as the command:
•
Using Microsoft® Windows®:
C:\Program Files\Compaq\Hpacucli\Bin\hpacucli.exe help
•
Using Linux:
[root@localhost root]# hpacucli help

mode.

CLI syntax

Whether entered in Command mode or Console mode, a typical ACU CLI command line consists of three
parts: a target device, a command, and a parameter with values if necessary. Using angle brackets to
denote a required variable and plain brackets to denote an optional variable, the structure of a typical
ACU CLI command line is as follows:
<target> <command> [parameter=value]
The <target> variable
This variable provides the path to the device that you want to configure. The device can be a controller,
an array, a logical drive, or a physical drive. The syntax used is as follows:
controller all | slot=# | wwn=# | chassisname="AAA" | serialnumber=# |
chassisserialnumber=# | [array=all|<id>] [logicaldrive all|#]
[physicaldrive all|allunassigned|[#:]#:#,[#:]#:#...|[#:]#:#-[#:]#:#]
For example:
controller slot=3
controller wwn=500805F3000BAC11
controller slot=2 array A
controller chassisname="A" array B logicaldrive 2
controller chassisname="A" physicaldrive 1:0
