CLI Syntax
   A typical ACU CLI command line consists of three parts: a target device, 
   a command, and a parameter with values if necessary. Using angle brackets to
   denote a required variable and plain brackets to denote an optional 
   variable, the structure of a typical ACU CLI command line is as follows:

      <target> <command> [parameter=value]

   <target> is of format:
      [controller all|slot=#|wwn=#|chassisname="AAA"|
                  serialnumber=#|chassisserialnumber=#|ctrlpath=#:# ]
      [array all|<id>]
      [physicaldrive all|allunassigned|[#:]#:#|[#:]#:#-[#:]#:#]
      [ssdphysicaldrive all|allunassigned|[#:]#:#|[#:]#:#-[#:]#:#]
      [logicaldrive all|#]
      [enclosure all|#:#|serialnumber=#|chassisname=#]
      [licensekey all|<key>]
      [ssdinfo]
      Note 1: The #:#:# syntax is only needed for systems that
              specify port:box:bay. Other physical drive targeting
              schemes are box:bay and port:id.
      Note 2: The chassisserialnumber is known in ACU as the
              RAID Array Serial Number. The chassisname is known
              in ACU as the RAID Array ID.
      Note 3: ctrlpath=#:# maps to "smart enclosure hooked up to 
              host bus adapter slot:host bus adapter port"

   Example targets:
      controller slot=5
      controller chassisname="Lab C"
      controller serialnumber=P21DA2322S
      controller chassisserialnumber=9J3CJN71XDCH
      controller wwn=500308B300701011
      controller slot=7 array A
      controller slot=5 logicaldrive 5
      controller slot=5 physicaldrive 1:5
      controller slot=5 physicaldrive 1E:2:3
      controller slot=5 ssdphysicaldrive all
      controller slot=5 enclosure 4E:1 show
      controller slot=5 licensekey XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

For detailed command information type any of the following: 
   help add
   help create
   help delete
   help diag
   help modify
   help remove
   help shorthand
   help show
   help target
   help rescan
   help version

Help also accepts commonly used CLI parameters and ACU keywords. Adding
additional keywords will further filter the help output. Examples: 
   help ssp        (shows all ssp help including show and modify commands)
   help ssp modify (restricts ssp help to only modify commands)
   help migrate
   help expand   
   help extend   
   help <keyword> <keyword> ... <keyword>

   Please note that beginning with ACU/ACUCLI version 8.55, the term 
   "stripe size" has been replaced by "strip size."  This is a change
   of labeling and does not signify a change in functionality.  When 
   distributing data across multiple physical drives (striping) the
   "strip size" is the amount of data that is written to each physical
   drive.  The "full stripe size" refers to the combined size of all
   the strips across all physical drives,  excluding parity-only drives.
