Using the IO Configurator Help Facility
The help facility enables you to identify quickly the function and syntax
of those IO configurator commands and options required to perform the
multiple operations that define or change device-dependent information.
To obtain a list of the commands available for use in the IO
configurator, enter HELP at the IO configurator prompt as shown in the
following example:
________________________________________________________________________
| |
| |
| io>HELP |
| |
| ** IO configurator commands ** |
| |
| aclass (ac) adev (ad) apath (ap) avol (av) |
| dclass (dc) ddev (dd) dpath (dp) dvol (dv) |
| lclass (lc) ldev (ld) lpath (lp) lvol (lv) |
| maddress(ma) mclass (mc) mdev (md) mpath (mp) |
| mvol (mv) |
| |
| clear (cl)(c) exit (ex)(e) help (he)(h) hold (ho) |
