542 IBM System Storage DS3500: Introduction and Implementation Guide
We now show some specific examples of using the CLI for tasks that have already been
demonstrated using the GUI earlier in this book.
17.4 Adding a storage subsystem to the Storage Manager
configuration
Adding storage subsystems to the Storage Manager configuration can be done manually or
with an automated discovery as follows:
1. Upon installation, Storage Manager has no subsystems defined. Use option -d of SMcli to
list the defined subsystems. See “Showing defined subsystems in the Storage Manager
configuration” on page 543 for a detailed description of the command shown in
Example 17-2.
Example 17-2 SMcli - List storage subsystems defined in the Storage Manager configuration
amazon:/ # SMcli -d
There are currently no storage subsystems listed in the configuration file. Add
storage subsystems using the Add Storage Subsystem option in the storage
management
software or by command line.
SMcli failed.
amazon:/ #
2. To add a storage subsystem, use either option -A alone, to perform automatic discovery of
available subsystems, or specify the controller’s management interface IP addresses, to
perform manual discovery. Example 17-3 shows both methods.
Example 17-3 SMcli - Add storage subsystems to the Storage Manager configuration
amazon:/ # SMcli -A 1.1.1.2 1.1.1.3
New storage subsystem was discovered at address 1.1.1.2
New storage subsystem was discovered at address 1.1.1.3
SMcli completed successfully.
amazon:~ # SMcli -A
Starting auto discovery.
