Libstoragemgmt command line interface

Usage

lsmcli [options] ... [command] ... [command options] ...

Overview

lsmcli is the command line tool for the libStorageMgmt library. This tool allows users to do one off storage related management operations or to script management of their storage.

OPTIONS (global)

--version: show program's version number and exit

-h, --help: show this help message and exit

-u URI, --uri=URI: uniform resource identifier (env LSMCLI_URI)

-P, --prompt: prompt for password (env LSMCLI_PASSWORD)

-H, --human: print sizes in human readable format (e.g., MiB, GiB, TiB)

-t SEP, --terse=SEP: print output in terse form with "SEP" as a record separator

-e, --enum: display enumerated types as numbers instead of text

-f, --force: bypass confirmation prompt for data loss operations

-w WAIT, --wait=WAIT: command timeout value in ms (default = 30s)

--header: include the header with terse

-b: run the command asynchronously instead of waiting for completion. lsmcli command will exit with exit code(7) and job id will be written to stdout when a command is still executing on the storage array. Use --job-status <job id> to inquire on the progress of the command.

Environment

LSMCLI_URI: The URI for the storage array in question.

LSMCLI_PASSWORD: The password to use for the array.
