Section 2
Getting Started
2.1
Introduction
SANsurfer FC HBA CLI operates in two modes:
Interactive (menu-driven). The CLI starts, and then waits for and executes
input commands until terminated by the user. Use this mode to do multiple
operations. Section 4 Interactive Commands covers this interface.
Non-interactive (command line). The CLI starts, does the functions defined
by the list of parameters provided, and then terminates. Use this mode to run
SANsurfer FC HBA CLI from a script file or when you want to do a single
operation. Section 5 Non-interactive Commands covers this interface.
SANsurfer FC HBA CLIis not case sensitive in either mode. However, file names
in some operating systems are case sensitive; in this case, SANsurfer FC HBA
CLI is case sensitive for that specific file.
2.2
Starting Interactive Mode
To start SANsurfer FC HBA CLI in interactive mode, use one of these methods:
For Windows, click the SANsurfer FC CLI icon on the desktop.
For Linux or Solaris, open a command window and type:
scli INT
– Or –
scli
For Mac OS X, follow these steps:
1. Double-click the SANsurfer FC HBA CLI (SCLI) icon.
2. A terminal window opens. SCLI (interactive mode) scans the host for
QLogic HBAs and SAN storage.
NOTE:
When starting SANsurfer FC HBA CLI from a Solaris console serial port
connection, the CLI may take a long time to come up. To resolve this issue,
specify the INT flag, as shown in the preceding bullet.
