Usage Notes

To maintain consistency with earlier versions of the VFP, all commands can be prefaced with "vfp".
For help with a specific command, use the -? Option. For example, setup -?
For command recall, type “<” or “>”.
Several of the vfp commands require multiple options. Use the options in the order in which they appear in this
reference.
Command Options and Arguments Description
setup -e {on | off}
-r <value>
-c <value>
-b <int>
-e: Sets character echo
-r: Sets the number of rows:
<value>: range 5 – 1000
-c: Sets the number of columns:
<value>: ranger 40 - 8000
-b: Sets baud rate
<int> : 0, 1, 2, or 3
for 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600
Note: A firmware reset will restore the
default value of 9600.
dsp dsp (no argument follows)
-c [m/c1 | m/c2]
-d [fruLocation]
-L [LUN ID]
-s
-e
-f
Displays general information about the
subsystem.
-c: display controller information:
m/c1: controller 1, m/c2 controller 2
-d: display drive information:
[fruLocation] m/d#
-L: display LUN information (default for
all existing luns).
[LUN ID]: specify a requested LunID
-s: display subsystem settings
-e: enclosure information
-f: list of discovered FRUs

cfg cfg -L <LUN ID> -a <capacity> [{G|g}|{K|k}] –g <RG Id>
To Create a LUN requires three
parameters, LUN ID, capacity and RD
Id.
-L <LUN ID>: specify LUN ID to be
created.
-a <capacity>: specify LUN capacity.
Capacity is default to MB.
If followed by ‘K’ or ‘k’, the capacity is in
kilobytes and must be a multiple of
512.
If followed by ‘G’ or ‘g’, the capacity is in
gigabytes.
-g <RG ID>: redundancy group id. For
VA 7100 set to 1, for VA 7400 set to 1
or 2.
For valid number of LUNs to create,
check dsp –s for CREATE LUN LIMIT.
cfg -L <LUN ID> -d -L followed by –d: deletes LUN, no
need to specify capacity, just LUN ID.

mgr -s {shut | start}
-R {full | partial}
-L <loop id> -c {1|2} -hp {1|2}
-t {1 | 2 | 4} –c {1|2} -hp {1|2}
-S {1 | 2} –c {1 | 2} -hp {1|2}
-os {hpux | nt | win2k | linux | solaris | aix | netware |
generic | tru64 | openVMS | mpe | solarisCluster} –c {1 | 2}
-hp {1|2}
-B {autoraid | raid1}
-O { on | off }
-q <queue full threshold> –c {1 | 2} -hp {1|2}
-ds { on | off }
-p {on | off }
-V <Revision>
-s: Shutdown or restart the disk array
-R: Reset the disk array
-L: Set FC port loop ID for host port
(-hp) on specified controller (-c).
-t: Set the topology for host port
(-hp) on specified controller (-c).
Valid Arguments:
1- Private Topology
2 - Public Topology
4- Direct Fabric Attached Topology.
-S: Set FC port speed for host port
(-hp) on specified controller (-c).
Valid Arguments:
1- 1 GBit/sec Data Rate
2- 2 GBit/sec Data Rate
-os: Set host behavior for host port
(-hp) on specified controller (-c).
-B: sets array RAID level (AutoRaid |
RAID 1).
-O: set enable optimize policy on/off.
-q: set queue full threshold for host port
(-hp) on specified controller (-c). Valid
values 0 to 4096.
-ds: set disable secondary path
presentation
The -ds option determines whether the
array makes the non-optimal path to
LUNs visible to hosts. When set to ON,
secondary path presentation is enabled
and all LUNs are “visible” through all
ports on all controllers. When set to
OFF, each LUN will be “visible” only on
the controller that is the optimal
controller for that LUN. The optimal
controller is the one associated with the
redundancy group of which the LUN is a
part.
-p: Enable/disable prefetch.
-V: Set volume set revision. Valid
arguments:
1 – For HP01, HP02, HP11, HP13
2 – For HP14, HP15 and greater
fmt No options Perform array format (will destroy all
user data). User will be prompted with a
yes/no. The word ‘yes’ must be
entered completely. Otherwise the
format command will be canceled.

rbld -p
-a {on | off}
-p: Displays status/progress of a
subsystem rebuild.
-a: enables or disables autorebuild
recover No options
-s
-ps {on | off}
Perform a recover process. Will ask for
user’s verification to proceed.
-s: returns the recoverability status or
the disk array, as well as the status of
the recovery progress.
-ps: Recover with parity scan set to
either on or off.
secure -R
-e
-d
-R: Resets the password to AUTORAID.
-e: enables security.
-d: disables security.
log -p [number of events ] [-seq <start sequence number>]
-ps [number of events ] [-seq <start seqence number>]
-pc [number of events] [-seq <start seqence number>]
-clear
-p: Display a given number of events
starting with the specified sequence
number.
-ps: Display a given number of
significant events (stored in page2)
starting with the specified sequence
number.
-pc: Display a given number of critical
events(stored in page5) starting with the
specified sequence number.
Use only the required options with no
arguments, e.g. just “log –ps”, will
display the first and last sequence
number in the log.
If only number of events is omitted, all
the corresponding events after the start
sequence number will be displayed.
If only start sequence number omitted,
the specified number of events will be
displayed starting at beginning of the
log.
-clear: Clear controller event log
scsi -cdb <cdblen> <cdb bytes…> <direction> [ -cdbcrc
<cdb crc>]
[ -lun <lunId> ]
[ -data <data len> <data bytes…> [ -datacrc <data crc> ] ]
direction can be: nodata|datain|dataout
