Object Command Attributes
Objects are shell commands, controllers, units, ports (drives), BBUs (battery backup units), and enclosures.
Commands can either select (show, get, present, read) attributes or alter (add, change, set, write) attributes.
Attributes are either Boolean Attributes or Name-Value Attributes.
Example: When adding (creating) a unit to the controller with the following command string,
/c1 add type=raid1 disk=0-1
c1 is the object,
add is the command,
type (for type of array) is an attribute with
raid1 as the value of the attribute, and
disk is another attribute with
0-1 as the value (ports 0 through 1).
Shell Object Commands. Shell object commands set the focus or provide information (such as alarms, diagnostics, rebuild schedules, and so forth) about all controllers in the system. For details, see
Shell Object Commands.
Controller Object Commands. Controller object commands provide information and perform actions related to a specific controller. For example, you use controller object commands for such tasks as seeing alarms specific to a controller, creating schedules during which background tasks are run, and setting policies for the controller. You also use the controller object command
/cx add type to create RAID arrays. For details, see
Controller Object Commands.
Unit Object Commands. Unit object commands provide information and perform actions related to a specific unit on a specific controller. For example, you use unit object commands for such tasks as seeing the rebuild, verify, or initialize status of a unit, starting, stopping, and resuming verifies, starting and stopping rebuilds, and setting policies for the unit. You also use the controller object command
/cx/ux migrate to change the configuration of a RAID array. For details, see
Unit Object Commands.
Phy Object Commands. Phy object commands provide information and perform actions related to a specific phy on a 9690SA controller.
Port Object Commands. Port object commands provide information and perform actions related to a drive on a specific port or vport. You can use port object commands for such tasks as seeing the status, model, or serial number of the drive. For details, see
Port Object Commands.
BBU Object Commands. BBU object commands provide information and perform actions related to a Battery Backup Unit on a specific controller. For details, see
BBU Object Commands.
Enclosure Object Commands. Enclosure object commands provide information and perform actions related to a particular enclosure. For example, you can use enclosure object commands to see information about an enclosure and its elements (slots, fan, and temperature sensor elements).
