Description

get

Get configuration information of VD, PD, array, HBA, or driver.

set -o driver 

Set configuration parameters of driver.

get

Use get to display the properties of virtual disks, physical disks, arrays, HBA (adapter/controller), and the driver.

The syntax for the get command (including all required and optional parameters) is as follows:

get -o <vd|array|pd|hba|aes|aeslink|driver> [-i <VD id|array id|PD id|HBA id|aes port id>] [-h]

Table 2 describes the required and optional parameters for the get command.

Description

Required Parameter

-o <vd|array|pd|hba|aes|aeslink|driver>

   aeslink (AES link)

   driver (driver)

Note: CLI does not support get -o driver in Linux or Mac OS X.

Optional Parameters

[-i <VD id|array id|PD id|HBA id|aes port id>]

Use to specify object ID.
