command or runs a set of commands from a script without starting a sfscli
session.

Parameters
- –? | –h | –help command_name
- Displays help for the specified command (for example, –h mkpool displays
help for the mkpool command). If a command name
is not specified, this parameter displays a list of available commands in
the Administrative CLI.
Note: Although the sfscli utility
is listed as a possible command in the help facility, you will receive an
error if you attempt to run the sfscli utility from
within sfscli (for example, sfscli> sfscli help). To get
help for the sfscli utility, enter sfscli –help
sfscli.
- –ver
- Displays the current version and licensing information for this utility.
- –overview
- Displays the overview information about the sfscli utility, including
command modes, standard command and listing parameters, syntax diagram conventions,
and user assistance.
- –script file_name
- Runs the set of command strings in the specified file outside of a sfscli
session. If you specify this parameter, you must specify a file name.
The
format options specified using the setoutput command
apply to all commands in the script.
Output from successful commands
routes to stdout. Output from unsuccessful commands route to stderr. If an
error occurs while one of the commands in the script is running, the script
will exit at the point of failure and return to the system prompt.
- command_string
- Runs the specified command string outside of a sfscli session.
Description
If
you run this utility with any of the valid parameters, the Administrative
CLI is not started in interactive mode. If you run this command with no parameters,
this command starts the Administrative CLI. When you are in the Administrative
CLI, the sfscli> prompt is displayed.
