Options file The Options file contains parameters that can be set to critically change the default behavior of SYMCLI operations, SYMAPI calls, and their control actions. It can be used to set certain global restrictions as well as customize and streamline command line coding to your specific environment.

NOTE: These parameters are intended for experienced SYMCLI or SYMAPI users and are not a prerequisite for normal use.

Modifying these parameters can cause unwanted restriction of features or adversely effect the operation of the array. This

file should be protected so that only authorized users can make changes.

The options file is located in the SYMAPI configuration directory.

Directors System

/var/symapi/config Unix

C:\Program files\EMC\Symapi\config Windows

your_specific_installation_directory OpenVMS, AS/400, MVS

The following table provides the description and default values for each option.

Options file 5

Daemon Options file The Daemon Options file contains parameters that can be set to control the behavior of the various Solutions Enabler daemons. Each daemon reads this file as it starts and applies any settings within it that apply.

NOTE: These parameters are intended for experienced SYMCLI or SYMAPI users. In most cases, the default values used by

the daemons will be sufficient. This file should be protected so that only authorized users can make changes.

Lines in this file can have one of the following formats:

NAME = VALUE Set the parameter NAME for all daemons that understand this parameter.

stororad:NAME = VALUE

Set the parameter NAME for only the stororad daemon.

stororad*:NAME = VALUE

Set the parameter NAME for all daemons whose name begins with storora. The asterisk (*) is the wildcard.

Option values that are very long can extend to the next line by placing a backslash at the very end of the line. For example:

stororad:NAME = VALUE1 : VALUE2 : VALUE3 : \

VALUE4 : VALUE5

The daemon options file is located in the SYMAPI configuration directory.

Directors System

/var/symapi/config Unix

C:\Program files\EMC\Symapi\config Windows

your_specific_installation_directory OpenVMS, AS/400, MVS

The following tables provides the description, allowed values, and default values for each option.

Environment Variables SYMCLI provides environment variables that can be preset to streamline a command line session. These variables can be set to common argument values for a series of associated commands, which eliminates repeated key strokes for during command line execution.

To view a list of environment variables that can be set for a given SYMCLI session, enter:

symcli -env To view the environment variables currently set, enter:

symcli -def To The following table provides the description and default values for each option.

Environment Variables 7

Command set conventions This manual uses commonly known command set conventions for the eNAS for file man pages. Each man page presents the command name at the top of the man page followed by a brief overview of what the command does. The synopsis contains the actual command usage. The description contains a more detailed breakdown of the features of the command, and the options describe what each switch or option does specifically.

The See Also section refers to the technical modules that support the feature, in addition to any other commands that interact with the command.

The examples are at the end of the command.

The naming convention for the Data Mover variable in the command line interface is (default = server_2 to server_9).

The commands are prefixed, then appear in alphabetical order.

Synopsis The synopsis is usage of each command. The synopsis appears in courier typeface, with variables such as movername, filename, and device name enclosed by angle brackets, with the command name appearing in bold. The switches and other options also appear in bold and, in most cases, are prefixed by a minus sign:

server_umount { |ALL}[-perm|-temp]{-all| | }

Required entries A switch or variable enclosed with curly brackets, or not enclosed at all, indicates a required entry:

{ |ALL}

Optional entries A switch or variable enclosed with square brackets indicates an optional entry:

[-perm|-temp]

Formatting The variable name enclosed by angle brackets indicates the name of a specified object:

{ |ALL}

Options An option is prefixed with a minus (-) sign: -perm

If the option is spelled out, for example, -perm, in the command syntax, you may use just the first letter: -p

Options and names are case-sensitive. If an uppercase letter is specified in the syntax, a lowercase letter is not accepted.

The vertical bar symbol ( | ) represents or, meaning an alternate selection:

{-all| | }

8 Command set conventions

Command prefixes Commands are prefixed depending on what they are administering. For example, commands prefixed with:

cel_ execute to the remotely linked eNAS system.

cs_ execute to the Control Station.

fs_ execute to the specified file system.

nas_ execute directly to the Control Station database.

server_ require a movername entry and execute directly to a Data
