Quick-Start Tasks

This section outlines a variety of basic but important tasks you can perform with the CLI. For

details on command usage, refer to the Command-Line Reference that follows.

Other common but less-critical tasks are outlined in Appendix B: Common CLI Tasks

MANAGEMENT TASKS

By running several CLI commands, you can create a basic storage configuration for your ION

Accelerator appliance. For more information on each of these commands and others, refer to the

Command-Line Reference

section that follows, including the Help commands.

Here are some basic tasks you can complete:

1. Create a Profile, based on the type of performance and reliability you need. For example:

profile:create maximum_performance

This creates a storage pool with a RAID 0 array. (See Profile Commands in the Command-Line

Reference section for more information.)

2. Create volumes in the storage pool that can be exported later as LUNs. For example:

volume:create newvolume 8 pool_md

This creates a volume called newvolume. It has a capacity of 8GB (the second parameter),

using the

pool_md storage pool.

3. Create initiator groups, so you can manage access to LUNs. For example:

inigroup:create mygroup <ini1 WWN> <ini2 WWN> <etc.>

This creates an initiator group named mygroup, with initiators optionally assigned to the

group by WWN.

4. Populate each initiator group with the desired initiators. See Sample Command Set below for

more information.
