Before creating the configuration report, you will need to write a series of raidinf commands in a script file. When you run the script, the commands in the script files execute sequentially and then create or delete a configuration report. See Raidinf command reference (obtaining configuration reports and tier relocation logs) for a list of commands.

Two examples of scripts are shown below. Refer to these examples as needed to create a script file that suits your needs.

Example script for creating a configuration report

This script logs the user in, deletes a configuration report, creates a configuration report, and logs the user out, using the raidinf commands.

For each command except the logout command, this example performs three retries at intervals of 2 minutes, assuming that communication errors and other errors can occur. In addition, the delete report command is executed with the -fill option before the add report command, so that the script does not terminate when 20 configuration reports accumulate in the SVP.

Example script for downloading a configuration report

This script logs the user in, downloads a configuration report, and logs the user out, using raidinf commands.

For each command except the logout command, this example performs 3 retries at intervals of 2 minutes, assuming that communication errors and other errors can occur. The downloaded configuration report is accumulated for 3 generations in the C:\Reports folder by names from Report_DailyConfigurationReport_1.tgz to Report_DailyConfigurationReport_3.tgz. In addition, if the script for creating a configuration report fails, generation copy is terminated so that the past configuration reports may not be overwritten.
