Introduction The purpose of the CLI is to automate management of a large number of Directors and Edge Switches through scripts. Although the primary use of the CLI is in host-based scripting environments, CLI commands can also be entered directly at a command line.
Introduction Table 1–1: CLI Command Tree Navigation Conventions (Continued) Character Common Sequence Name Action or Description Pound Sign Used to designate comments in a script. Question Mark Provide help information. “ Quotation Mark Used to surround a single token. Control-A Position the cursor to the start of the line.
Introduction Command Tree The command tree of the CLI begins from the root. The commands in the four extended branches (config, maint, perf, and show) are described in Chapter 2, Commands. There are three additional commands (login, logout, and commaDelim) that are globally available.

Introduction Table 1–2: CLI Command Tree (Continued) ip ----------------- ethernet loginServer nameServer port --------------- config info nodes status technology security ----------- fabricBinding portBinding switchBinding switch system zoning Commands are shown, with the exception of the zoning commands, in alphabetical order to make them easier to locate. Although the commands can be entered in any order, depending on the results desired, the order shown in Table 1–2 on page 1-4 the zoning commands is a typical order in which the zoning commands are entered.
Page 22
Introduction At this point, to enter the maint.port.beacon command to set the beaconing state of port 4, the following series of commands is entered: Config.Port> .. Config> .. Root> maint Maint> port Maint.Port> beacon 4 true NOTE: You must return all the way to the root of the tree to transition to another extended branch.
Introduction Limitation on Movements As the commands are entered, they are recorded in a history log. The limitations on movement that result from use of the history log are: • If a command has more than 60 characters, the command runs, but the command is not recorded in the history log, and the position in the tree does not change, as shown in the following example.
Introduction A null string can be created by using the quotation marks without any space between them. Config.System> location “” Output All output from the CLI commands is limited to the standard 80 columns supported by most Telnet interfaces. The output is left-justified. Logging In and Logging Out The CLI allows a single Telnet client to be connected to a Director or Edge Switch.
A user name and password can be set by the administrator through the config.security.userRights.administrator command or through the config.security.userRights.operator command. The access rights chosen for the CLI are completely independent of the other product interfaces, for example, SNMP or Hewlett-Packard (HP) product interfaces. Parameters This command has no parameters. Command Examples...
Introduction logout Syntax logout Purpose This command allows a Telnet client to disconnect from a Director or Edge Switch. Description This command logs out the single Telnet client connected to a Director or Edge Switch. This command can be entered at any point in the command tree. Parameters This command has no parameters.
Introduction commaDelim NOTE: The output examples shown in the other sections of this publication presume that commaDelim is off. Syntax commaDelim enable Purpose This command enables the user to obtain displayed information (from a show command) in comma-delimited, rather than tabular, format. The default format is tabular.
Introduction Handling Command Line Interface Errors Two types of errors detected by the CLI are: • An error associated with the interface. For example, a keyword is misspelled or does not exist. Root> confg Error 234: Invalid Command • An error associated with a fabric, Director, or Edge Switch. For example, a parameter error is detected by a Switch, where port 24 is entered for a Switch that supports only 16 ports.
Introduction • If the question mark is used at the end of a recognized command, any parameters for that command display. Root> config port name ? - name <portNumber> <portName> • If the question mark is used after one or more characters of a keyword, any keywords at that level of the CLI command tree display.
Introduction Telnet Session The CLI can only be used through a Telnet client session in an out-of-band management environment, using the Ethernet port in a Director or Edge Switch. Although the primary use of the CLI is in host-based scripting environments, the CLI commands can also be entered directly at a command line.
CLI Commands This chapter describes command line interface (CLI) commands, including their syntax, purpose, and parameters, as well as examples of their usage and any output that they generate. Section Page 2 -1 Command Overview 2 -1 config Commands 2 -44 config.switch Commands 2 -64 config.zoning Commands...
Page 32
CLI Commands Note that the config.zoning commands function in a different way from the other CLI commands, which are single action commands that take effect immediately. A zoning configuration is typically too complicated to be described by a single command, so the first zoning command entered invokes a work-area editor. The commands take effect on a temporary copy of a zone set in the work area until the temporary copy in the work area is activated to the fabric or is discarded.

FX_Port A port configuration allowing a port to transition operationally to either an F_Port or an FL_Port. Only the Edge Switch 2/24 supports the configuration of this port type. See field-replaceable unit.

Glossary See host bus adapter. heterogeneous fabric A fabric with both HP and non-HP products. high availability A performance feature characterized by hardware component redundancy and hot-swapability (enabling non-disruptive maintenance). High-availability systems maximize system uptime while providing superior reliability, availability, and serviceability. Data transfer from one fabric node to another node.

Glossary name server Program that translates names from one form into another. For example, the domain name service (DNS) translates domain names into IP addresses. name server zoning N_Port access management that allows N_Ports to communicate if and only if they belong to a common name server zone.

Glossary operating state (Director) The operating states are as follows: Online - when the Director is set online, an attached device can log in to the Director if the port is not blocked. Attached devices can communicate with each other if they are configured in the same zone.

Glossary port card Field-replaceable hardware component that provides the port connections for fiber cables and performs specific device-dependent logic functions. port card map Map showing numbers assigned to each port card by card slot. port name Name that the user assigns to a particular port through the Product Manager. POST See power-on self test.

Glossary SNMP community name The name assigned to a given SNMP community. Queries from an SNMP management station to a device running an SNMP agent will only elicit a response if those queries are addressed with the correct SNMP community name. storage area network (SAN) A high-performance data communications environment that interconnects computing and storage resources so that the resources can be effectively shared and consolidated.

trunk cable Cable consisting of multiple fiber pairs that do not directly attach to an active device. This cable usually exists between distribution panels. See also optical cable, contrast with jumper cable. unblocked port Devices attached to an unblocked port can login to the Director or Edge Switch and communicate with devices attached to any other unblocked port.
