The <command> variable
The <command> variable can be any of the following words or phrases, corresponding to typical
configuration tasks:
add
create
delete
modify

set target
There are also four nonconfiguration commands:

help ("The help command" on page 59)
rescan ("Rescanning the system" on page 61)
show ("The show command" on page 57)

parameters and values that are valid for a given command depend on the target to which you apply the
command.
To determine the valid parameters and values for a particular combination of target and command

If you do not know what values a parameter can have, you can sometimes query the device to find out by
entering a ? as the value of the parameter.
Example command:
=> ctrl ch="Lab4" ld 1 modify raid=0 ss=?
A typical screen response in this case could be:
Available options are:

256
To determine which parameters can be queried, use the help feature of the CLI ("The help command" on
page 59).

warning and prompts you for input (a y or an n) before continuing the operation. This situation is
