no
Disables autorestart.
–prompt
Forces the setupstclient command to prompt for all configuration values.
–noprompt
Runs silently, using parameters from the configuration file. If the configuration file does not exist or if a required parameter is not available or invalid, the command exits with an error.

Prerequisites

You must have root privileges to use this command.

Description

This command configures and starts or restarts a SAN File System client.

If you do not specify a parameter, this command runs silently using values from the configuration file as defaults. It only prompts for any required information, if a configuration file does not exist or if a value in an existing configuration file is not valid.

This command maintains any values given by the user in a configuration file in parameter=value format. The default configuration file is /usr/tank/client/config/stclient.conf.

Specify the –prompt parameter to force the command to prompt for all configuration values. In this case, if a configuration file exists, the command presents the value from the configuration file as the suggested default when the command displays a prompt. If a configuration file does not exist, the command presents the manufacturing default as the suggested default.

If you specify the –noprompt parameter, the command expects the configuration file to exist. If the file does not contain valid values, the command exits with an error.
