About The Script Commands
You can use the script commands to configure and manage a storage array. The script commands are
distinct from the command line interface (CLI) commands; however, you enter the script commands
using the command line interface. You can enter individual script commands, or run a file of script
commands. When entering an individual script command, include it as part of a CLI command. When
running a file of script commands, include the file name as part of a CLI command. The script commands
are processed by a script engine that performs the following functions:
• Verifies command syntax
• Interprets the commands
• Converts the commands to the appropriate protocol-compliant commands, which is, in turn, run by
the RAID controller module
• Passes the commands to the storage array
At the storage array, the redundant array of independent disks (RAID) controller modules in the storage
array runs the script commands.
The script engine and script commands support the storage array configuration and management
operations listed in the following table.
