11
12
14 lsmcli is the command line tool for the libStorageMgmt library. This
15 tool allows users to do one off storage related management operations
16 or to script management of their storage.
17
18
20 * libStorageMgmt daemon.
21 The daemon 'lsmd' is required by lsmcli.
22
23 * URI(Uniform Resource Identifier)
24 URI is used to identify which plugin to use and how the plugin
25 should communicate with the storage array. The valid URI format
26 is:
27 plugin://<username>@host:<port>?<query_string_parameters>
28 plugin+ssl://<username>@host:<port>?<query_string_parameters>
29 Examples, please refer to "LibStorageMgmt User Guide" for more
30 details:
31 * Simulator:
32 sim://
33 simc://
34 * SMI-S supported arrays (eg. EMC CX/VNX, HDS AMS, IBM
35 SVC/DS, LSI MegaRAID and others):
36 smis://username@host:<port>?namespace=<namespace>
37 smis+ssl://username@host:<port>?namespace=<namespace>
38 You can pass URI to lsmcli via one of these methods:
39 * Using '-u, --uri' argument.
40 * Using 'LSMCLI_URI' environment variable.
41 * Add this line into $HOME/.lsmcli:
42 uri=<URI>
43
44 * Password
45 For storage array password authentication you can pass it to
46 lsmcli via one of the following methods:
47 * '-P, --prompt' argument to prompt for password.
48 * 'LSMCLI_PASSWORD' environment variable.
49
51 --version Show program's version number and exit
52
53 -h, --help Show this help message and exit. Will show help message
54 of specific command if specified.
55
56 -u <URI>, --uri <URI>
57 Uniform Resource Identifier (env LSMCLI_URI)
58
59 -P, --prompt Prompt for password (env LSMCLI_PASSWORD)
60
61 -H, --human Print sizes in human readable format (e.g., KiB, MiB,
62 GiB, TiB, PiB, EiB)
63
64 -t <SEP>, --terse <SEP>
65 Print output in terse form with "SEP" as a record sepa‐
66 rator without header unless '--header' defined.
67
68 --header Include the header with terse
69
70 -e, --enum Display enumerated types as numbers instead of text
71
72 -f, --force Bypass confirmation prompt for data loss operations
73
74 -w <WAIT>, --wait=<WAIT>
75 Command timeout value in ms (default = 30s)
76
77 -b Run the command asynchronously instead of waiting for
78 completion. The lsmcli command will exit with exit
79 code(7) and job id will be written to STDOUT when a com‐
80 mand is still executing on the storage array. Use 'job-
81 status --id <job id>' to inquire on the progress of the
82 command. Some arrays or plugins might not support asyn‐
83 chronous operations, in those circumstances, -b will be
84 ineffective. Command will wait until finished.
85
86 -s, --script Displaying data in script friendly way.
87 Without this option, data is displayed in this manner

808 --size <SIZE>
809 Storage space size. Format is '<number>' + '<prefix>'. Example:
810 "10GiB", "20.5MB". No postfix indicates bytes. Valid prefixes are:
811 KiB, # 2^10 Bytes
812 MiB, # 2^20 Bytes
813 GiB, # 2^30 Bytes
814 TiB, # 2^40 Bytes
815 PiB, # 2^50 Bytes
816 EiB, # 2^60 Bytes
817 KB, # 10^3 Bytes
818 MB, # 10^6 Bytes
819 GB, # 10^9 Bytes
820 TB, # 10^12 Bytes
821 PB, # 10^15 Bytes
822 EB, # 10^17 Bytes
823
824 These prefixes are supported also, but not recommended:
825 K, M, G, T, P, E, # equal to KiB, MiB, and etc
826 k, m, g, t, p, e, # equal to KiB, MiB, and etc
827
828
830 ~/.lsmcli lsmcli configuration file, containing name-value pairs
831 separated by '='. The only currently supported configu‐
832 ration option is 'uri', such as 'uri=tar‐
833 getd://user@storage.example.com'.
834
835 Configuration options in .lsmcli are only used if not
836 overridden by command-line option or environment vari‐
837 able.

841 Simulator, list pools (no password required)
842 $ lsmcli -u sim:// -l POOLS
843
844 Targetd, list volumes (prompting for password)
845 $ lsmcli -u targetd://root@host/ -l VOLUMES -P
846
847 SMI-S, list systems (prompting for password)
848 $ lsmcli -u smispy://username@host:5988/?namespace=root/interop \
849 -l SYSTEMS -P
850
851 Targetd, list pools (using env variables for URI and password)
852 $ export LSMCLI_URI=targetd://username@host:18700
853 $ export LSMCLI_PASSWORD=<password>
854 $ lsmcli -l POOLS
855
856 SMI-S, create volume (using environment variables for URI and password)
857 $ export LSMCLI_URI='smispy+ssl://user@host:5989?namespace=root/emc'
858 $ export LSMCLI_PASSWORD=<password>
859 $ lsmcli volume-create --name volume_name --size 1TiB --pool default
860
861
863 LSMCLI_URI The URI for the storage array in question.
864
865 LSMCLI_PASSWORD The password to use for the array.
866
867
869 CLONE A point in time, read writeable, space efficent copy
870 of data.
871
872 COPY A full bitwise copy of the data. It occupies the full
873 space.
874
875 MIRROR_SYNC Continously updated, realtime with both copies having
876 identical data.
877
878 MIRROR_ASYNC Continously updated, with a varying amount of delay
879 and data delta between the source and target.
880
881
882
884 Optional search argument
885 When specifying an optional search argument, it's not consid‐
886 ered an error if no search results are found, eg. specifying a
887 non-existent system id. The exit code will be 0.
888
889
890 Plugin installation
891 Plugins are installed individually except for the simulators
892 which are always included.
893
894
895 Secure sockets layer (SSL)
896 All of the plugins (except the simulator) support SSL when com‐
897 municating from the plugin to the array. This is accomplished
898 by adding "+ssl" to the plugin and usually by selecting a dif‐
899 ferent port number from non-SSL communications.
900 $ lsmcli -u smispy+ssl://username@host:5989/?namespace=interop \
901 list --type SYSTEMS -P
902
903
904 SSL error: certificate verify failed
905 When using SMI-S plugin with SSL against self-signed SMI-S
906 provider, lsmcli normally quit with 'SSL error: certificate
907 verify failed'. Please contact SMI-S provider support to setup
908 the self-signed certificate in your system. If you prefer to
909 bypass the certificate check, add 'no_ssl_verify=yes' at the
910 end of URI, for example:
911 smispy+ssl://admin@emc-smi:5989?namespace=root/emc&no_ssl_verify=yes
