Commands
Seven options are available on every command that is supported
from the command line. These parameters are:
Parameter Description
-I Indicates command line options are to be read
from stdin. The -I option provides the
capability for the client to enter command
options on the command line, in a text file, or a
combination of both. When the -I option is
specified, command options are first read from
the command line. VolServ then reads any
options from stdin.
Example: cat optionfile > vsmount -I -u
-p drvpool2 instructs VolServ to first read
the -u and -p options entered on the
command line and then to read the options
from stdin (the contents of optionfile). If
optionfile contains “-c class1”, the
command, as processed by VolServ, will look
like “vsmount -u -p drvpool2 -c class1”
-h Requests help for the entered command. The
Help option returns the usage for the entered
command, a copyright notice, and the version
number of the CLI software. The Help option
takes precedence over any other option
entered on a command. When the Help option
is specified, no command line processing is
performed. An exit code of 0 is returned to the
client when the Help option is specified.
-H hostname Host name of the VolServ server. The default
host name is the host name of the computer
where the CLI command is issued.
