Use the DS CLI script command mode if you want to issue a sequence
of DS CLI commands. Administrators can use this mode to create automated processes;
for example, establishing remote mirror and copy relationships for volume
pairs.
Consider the following when using the DS CLI script command mode:
- The DS CLI script can contain only DS CLI commands. Use of shell commands
results in a process failure.
- You can add comments to the scripts. Comments must be prefixed by the
number sign (#); for example, # This script contains PPRC Path establish procedures.
Note: It is not the intent of this instruction to tell you how to write
a script. An example script is displayed for your use as a guide.
You can issue the DS CLI script from the command prompt at the same
time that you provide your login information.
- Enter the script name at the command prompt using the
following format:
dscli> -hmc1 mtc032h.storage.tucson.ibm.com -user admin
-passwd password -script ~/bin/mkpprcpairs
Note: If
you are using i5/OS and have already logged on to the DS CLI application,
you invoke the script mode using the following format:
DSCLI SCRIPT('/myscript') USER(admin) OUTPUT('/outfile')
- Wait for the script to process and provide a report regarding the
success or failure of the process.
The following is an example of a script that could be used to establish
remote mirror and copy relationships for volume pairs.
