Navisphere CLI cheat sheet
Raid Groups | LUN config | Storage Groups | Cache config
It is probably easier to use the Navisphere GUI to configure the Clariion but below are some of the CLI commands
that can be used to configure the SAN. There is also a procedure generator which is very usefull called clarproc.exe
which can be found on the www.emc.com web site
Raid Groups
Creating a raid group
expanding a raid group
destroying a raid group
modifying a raid group
parameters (priority etc)
display status of a raid group
LUN and Meta LUN configuration
Binding a LUN
unbinding a LUN
display LUN properties
expanding a meta LUN
destroying a meta LUN
displaying meta LUN status

navcli -h <san> createrg rgID disks <options>
example: navicli -h fc4700 createrg 16 0_0_0 0_0_1 0_0_2 -rm yes -pri high
rgID = decimal raid group id
0_0_0 = bus_enclosure_disk
rm = delete raid group when last LUN is unbound
pri = expansion / defragmentation priority
navicli -h <san> chgrg rgID <options>
example: navicli -h fc4700 chgrg 16 -expand 0_0_4 0_0_5 -lex yes -pri high
lex = is LUN expansion also allowed
navicli -h <san> destroyrg rgID disks <options>
example: navicli -h fc4700 destroyrg 16 0_0_0 0_0_1 0_0_3 -rm yes -pri high
navicli -h fc4700 chgrg 16 -pri high
navicli -h fc4700 getrg 16 -lunlist
navicli -h <san> bind raid-type <lun #> -rg rgID <options>
example: navicli -h fc4700 bind r5 3 -rg 0 -rc 1 -wc 1 -sq mb -cap 250
r5 = raid 5
rc = read cache (0=disable, 1=enable)
wc = write cache (0=disable, 1=enable)
sq = size qualifier (MB, GB)
cap = size of the raid
navicli -h fc4700 unbind 3
navicli -h fc4700 getlun 3 -element
navicli -h fc4700 metalun -expand -base <number> -lun <numbers> -type [c|s]
<options>
c = concatenate
s = stripe
navicli -h fc4700 metalun -destroy -metalun <number>
navicli -h fc4700 metalun -info <options> (general information)
navicli -h fc4700 metalun -list metalun <number> (specific info on a meta LUN)
navicli -h fc4700 metalun -modify -metalun <number>

navicli -h fc4700 storagegroup -create -gname storage_1
gname = group name
navicli -h fc4700 storagegroup -addhlu -gname storage_1 -hlu 19 -alu 16
hlu = LUN number display to hosts i.e c0t0d19
alu = LUN 16 as per the san storage
navicli -h fc4700 uksap01 register
navicli -h fc4700 storagegroup -connecthost -host uksap01 -gname storage_1
navicli -h fc4700 storagegroup -list -gname storage_1
navicli -h fc4700 storagegroup -destroy -gname storage_1
(all hosts must be removed from the group first)
navicli -h fc4700 getcache
navicli -h fc4700 setcache -wsza 550 -rsza 100 -wszb 100 -rszb 100
wsza = SPA write cache in MB
rsza = SPA read cache in MB
wszb = SPB write cache in MB
rszb = SPB read cache in MB
p = page size (2, 4, 8 or 16)
l = low watermark
h = high watermark
wc/rc = disable/enable read/write cache
wca/rca = disable/enable read/write SPA cache
