HPSSACLI command-line syntax

Using VMware esxcli requires knowledge about the CLI usage. The VMware vSphere command

line documentation is available at: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vcli/.

The following is an overview of the ESXCLI command-line format:

# esxcli {namespace} {object} {command} {cmd options} “command-string”

Table 7 HPSSACLI Command-Line Arguments

FunctionArgument

The esxcli application.esxcli

Each plugin must have an associated namespace which defines any environment or other system

variables required by the application.

namespace

A plugin must have one or more associated objects which defines a single operation.object

Prepares the esxcli target to accept a command-line string.command

Additional switches associated with the command itself (if necessary).cmd options

This is the string which dictates the operation that should be executed by the target application itself.“command-string”

The current namespace and command names are: hpssacli and cmd respectively. The {cmd

options} parameter can be cmdopts or -q. There is no need for an {object} type for

hpssacli since the application operates on internal commands supplied in the command-string.

HPSSACLI ESXCLI syntax

The HPSSACLI utility is supported by the ESXCLI utility.

Use the following command syntax for all commands:

# esxcli –server=”servername or IP” –user=”username” –password=”root

password” hpssacli cmd -q “command-string”

The command-string parameter supports same commands that are specified at the HPSSACLI

interactive command-line interface.

Example 1 This example shows the information about all the SmartArray controller on the server.

esxcli –server=”servername or IP” –user=”username” –password=”root

password” hpssacli cmd -q “controller all show status ”

The following output is displayed:

Smart Array P212 in Slot 9

Controller Status: OK

Smart Array P410i in Slot 0 (Embedded)

Controller Status: OK

Cache Status: OK

Battery/Capacitor Status: OK
