Command Reference Guide 1
Conventions
This guide provides the correct syntax for commands used with Emulex
printer servers containing software release 5.0. This section describes
both general and command conventions used in this document and in
other printer server documentation.
NOTE: The user must login to the printer server to
perform an Emulex printer server command.
Formatting
You will notice text boxes labeled NOTE or CAUTION.
• Notes provide additional information.
• Caution statements provide warnings to prevent harm to people or
equipment.
CAUTION: Observe electrostatic discharge (ESD)
procedures during installation.
What is a Command?
A prompt, followed by a keyword and one or more variables, options or
quotation marks make up a command. The following explanation will
demonstrate the structure and formatting of 5.0 printer server commands.
2 Command Reference Guide
Command Lines
A command line begins with the symbol >, contains the word “Server”
and a prompt.
Prompts
A prompt consists of the word Server followed by one or two greater
than symbols (>). One (>) indicates nonprivileged status and two (>>)
signify privileged or supervisor status. The two prompts are shown
below:
Server > (nonprivileged users)
Server >> (privileged users)
Nonprivledged users have read only privileges. Privileged or supervisor
users have all read and write privileges.
Keywords
Keywords are enclosed in brackets and separated by vertical lines.
The user must enter a keyword to perform an action.
Variables
Variables are used as in mathematics: they represent a quantity, device
name, address or other entity. They are shown in bold italic type.
Server>> [set |define |change]
>
Server>> [set |define |change] server dhcp n m
>
n a variable
m a variable
Command Reference Guide 3
Options
Options are used to customize a command. When available, the user
should always use options. They are italicized and enclosed in brackets.
Server>> [set |define |change] server dhcp n m
>
[temp] [default]
temp an optional entry
default an optional entry
Quotation Marks
When case-sensitive information is required, it must begin and end with
quotation marks. Font names are case-sensitive and must appear in
quotes within command lines. The example below illustrates the use of a
font name within a command line.
Server>> change port 1 fonts add “Courier-Bold
>
Helvetica-Italics”
4 Command Reference Guide
Keyword Functions
Keywords either modify data (set, define or change), remove data (clear,
purge, or delete), or display requests (show, monitor, or list).
Set, Define And Change
set Modifications are immediate and temporary
(stored in volatile memory). Old port values will
return when the port is logged out. Old node,
server and service values return when the
printer server is reinitialized.
define Modifications are not immediate but once they
take effect, become permanent (stored in nonvolatile memory). Modifications to ports take
effect when port is logged out. Modifications to
nodes, servers and services take effect when
the printer server is reinitialized.
change Modifications are immediate and permanent.
NOTE: Commands which affect non-volatile memory
will cause a 30 second delay before nonvolatile memory is updated. If printer server
power is removed prior to this, the change will
be lost.
Command Reference Guide 5
Show, Monitor And List
show Displays current information stored in volatile
memory.
monitor Similar to show, except the display is updated
every second for privileged users or every 10
seconds for nonprivileged users.
list Displays information stored in non-volatile
memory.
Clear, Purge And Delete
clear Data is removed temporarily, but returns at next
reinitialization.
purge Data is not removed until reinitialization, but then
is removed permanently from non-volatile
memory.
delete Data is removed immediately and permanently.

In the summary below, all commands are presented alphabetically. If the
keywords are either set, define or change, only change is listed. Page
