set

Description

The set subcommand starts or ends monitoring the storage system (for example, starting or ending the collection of performance statistics). The set subcommand also specifies the sampling interval (interval of collecting statistics).

If you want to use the set subcommand, you must use the login subcommand (see login to log on to the storage system). Ensure that the set subcommand runs immediately before Export Tool finishes.

Executing the set subcommand generates an error in the following conditions:

  • Some other user is being logged onto SVP in Modify mode.
  • Maintenance operations are being performed at SVP.

If an error occurs, do the following:

  • Check with Device Manager - Storage Navigator and so on, and confirm that all users who are logged onto the storage system are not in Modify mode. If any user is logged on in Modify mode, ask the user to switch to View mode.
  • Wait until maintenance operations finish at SVP, so that the set subcommand can run.
    NoteFollowing are notes of the set command.
    • Batch files can include script that will run when an error occurs. For information about writing such a script in your batch file, see Notes in Running Export Tool.
    • When the set subcommand starts or ends the monitoring or changes the sampling interval after the Monitor Performance window is started, the contents displayed in the Monitor Performance window do not change automatically in conjunction with the set subcommand operation. To display the current monitoring status in the Monitor Performance window, click Refresh on the menu bar of the Device Manager - Storage Navigator main window.
    • If you change the specified sampling interval during a monitoring, the previously collected monitoring data will be deleted.

Syntax

set [switch={m|off}]

Operands

Operand

Description

switch={m|off}

To start monitoring, specify the sampling interval (interval of collecting statistics) of monitoring data at m. Specify a value between 1 and 15 in minutes.

m is the sampling interval by Performance Monitor.

To end monitoring, specify off.

If this operand is omitted, the set subcommand does not make settings for starting or ending monitoring.

Examples

The following command file saves port statistics and then ends monitoring ports: 

ip 158.214.135.57 
dkcsn 123456 
login expusr passwd 
show 
group Port
range 200604010850:200604010910
apply 
set switch=off

The following command file starts monitoring remote copy operations. The sampling time interval is 10 minutes: 

ip 158.214.135.57 
dkcsn 123456 
login expusr passwd 
set switch=10
