Add a Storage Server

Add an OST storage server.

Command

syscli ‑‑add storageserver ‑‑name <server_name> ‑‑maxconnect <connect_count> [(‑‑target <host_name_or_ip>)] [‑‑desc <description>] [‑‑concurrentopdup disabled|enabled]

Command Attributes

Review the following attribute descriptions.

`‑‑add storageserver`	Adds an OST storage server.
`‑‑name <server_name>`	Enter the name of the storage server to add.
`‑‑maxconnect <connect_count>`	Enter the maximum number of connections allowed to the storage server. You can use any number between 0 and 65536, which is an inclusive range.
`‑‑target <host_name_or_ip>`	Enter the replication target system's IP address or hostname, as needed. If a target system has not been configured for the source system, invoking this command returns an error.
`‑‑desc <description>`	Enter a description for the storage server, as needed.
`‑‑concurrentopdup disabled\|enabled`	If specified, sets the OST Concurrent Optimized Duplication setting of the given storage server. The default setting is disabled.

Delete a Storage Server

Edit a Storage Server

Edit one or more attributes of an existing storage server.

Command

syscli ‑‑edit storageserver ‑‑name <server_name> [‑‑maxconnect <connect_count>] [(‑‑target <host_name_or_ip>)] [‑‑desc <storageserver_description>] [‑‑concurrentopdup disabled|enabled]

Command Attributes

`‑‑edit storageserver`	Edits an existing OST storage server.
`‑‑name <server_name>`	Enter the name of the storage server to edit.
`‑‑maxconnect <connect_count>`	Enter the maximum number of connections allowed to the storage server. You can use any number between 0 and 65536, which is an inclusive range.
`‑‑target <host_name_or_ip>`	Enter the replication target system's IP address or hostname, as needed. If a target system has not been configured for the source system, invoking this command returns an error.
`‑‑desc <storageserver_description>`	Enter a description for the storage server, as needed.
`‑‑concurrentopdup disabled\|enabled`	If specified, sets the OST Concurrent Optimized Duplication setting of the given storage server. The default setting is disabled.

List Storage Servers

List existing OST storage servers and their associated attributes.

Command

syscli ‑‑list storageserver [‑‑name <server_name> |‑‑namematch <pattern>]

Command Attributes

Review the following attribute descriptions.

‑‑list storageserver

Lists storage servers.

‑‑name <server_name>

If you use this option, only information for the specified storage server displays.

‑‑namematch <pattern>

If you use this option, only storage servers whose names match the specified pattern are listed. The wild characters ^ and $ are supported as follows:

^xxx – Matches pattern xxx at the start of names
xxx$ – Matches pattern xxx at the end of names
Because $ is special to the shell, remember to escape the character with a backslash (\) because it is special to the shell.
Example
To list all shares ending with test in the names, enter the following command:
syscli ‑‑list storageserver ‑‑namematch test\$

Add an LSU

Add an LSU to a specified storage server.

Command

syscli ‑‑add lsu {‑‑name <lsu_name> ‑‑capacity <lsu_capacity_GB>} | ‑‑unlimited ‑‑storageserver <server_name> [‑‑desc <lsu_description>]

Command Attributes

Review the following attribute descriptions.

`‑‑add lsu`	Adds an LSU to the specified storage server.
`‑‑name <lsu_name>`	Enter the name of the LSU. If you specify the `‑‑unlimited` option, the new LSU will be added with the name `_PhysicalLSU`.
`‑‑capacity <lsu_capacity_GB>`	Enter the capacity of the LSU in GB.
`‑‑unlimited`	If specified, the capacity is set to the available physical capacity on the system.
`‑‑storageserver <server_name>`	Enter the name of the storage server to which to add the LSU.
`‑‑desc <lsu_description>`	Enter a description of the LSU, if needed.

Delete an LSU

Delete an LSU from a specified storage server.

Command

syscli ‑‑del lsu ‑‑name <lsu_name> ‑‑storageserver <server_name> ‑‑force

Edit an LSU

Edit an LSU of the specified storage server.

Command

syscli ‑‑edit lsu ‑‑name <lsu_name> ‑‑storageserver <server_name> [‑‑desc <lsu_description>] [‑‑capacity <lsu_capacity_GB>]

Command Attributes

Review the following attribute descriptions.

`‑‑edit lsu`	Edits the specified LSU attached to the specified storage server.
`‑‑name <lsu_name>`	Enter the name of the LSU to edit. You cannot edit an LSU's name if it is `_PhysicalLSU`. Instead edit the LSU's description.
`‑‑storageserver <server_name>`	Enter the name of the storage server to which to add the LSU.
`‑‑desc <lsu_description>`	Enter a description of the LSU, if needed.
`‑‑capacity <lsu_capacity_GB>`	Enter the capacity of the LSU in GB.

List LSUs

List LSUs attached to a storage server.

Command

syscli ‑‑list lsu ‑‑storageserver <server_name> [‑‑name <lsu_name>]

Example Output

Total count = 1

[LSU = 1]

LSU name = Lsu1

Server name = Back_Server

Physical capacity = 20.00 GB

Backup images = 0

Description = LSU_One

OST AIR = enabled

AIR user = JohnD

Target Server name = TargSS
