Using this sample script, Example 10-10 shows what happens if there is a network problem
between the DS CLI client and server (in this example a 2105-800). The DS CLI provides the
error code (in this case CMUN00018E) which can be looked up in the DS CLI Users Guide.
The DS CLI also provides the exit status (in this example, exit status = 3). Finally, the batch
file interprets the return code and provides the user with some additional tips to resolve the
problem.
Example 10-10 Return code examples
C:\Program Files\IBM\dscli> checkflash.bat
CMUN00018E lsflash: Unable to connect to the management console server
exit status of dscli = 3
A connection error occurred. Try pinging 10.0.0.1
If this fails call network support on 555-1001

10.8 Usage examples
It is not the intent of this section to list every DS CLI command and its syntax. If you need to
see a list of all the available commands, or require assistance using DS CLI commands, you
are better served by reading the
IBM TotalStorage DS8000 Command-Line Interface User’s
Guide
, SC26-7625, and IBM TotalStorage DS6000 Command-Line Interface User’s Guide,
GC26-7681. Or you can use the online help. Example 10-11 gives a sample configuration
script showing most of the storage management commands that are used on a DS6000 or
DS8000.
