Chapter 1, Introduction
Overview
Unisphere CLI enables you to run commands on a system through a prompt from a Microsoft Windows or UNIX/Linux host. Use EMC Unisphere for managing a system. Unisphere CLI is intended for advanced users who want to use commands in scripts for automating routine tasks. Use Unisphere CLI to manage a system. Tasks include:

Configuring and monitoring the system. Managing users. Provisioning storage. Protecting data. Controlling host access to storage.
Storage types
Unisphere CLI supports provisioning and management of network block and file-based storage, including:
Shared folder storage, which contains one or more shares. Allows clients to store data and easily access shared folders and shares that integrate seamlessly into: Windows environments that use the CIFS protocol for file sharing, Microsoft Active Directory for authentication, and Windows directory access for folder permissions. Linux/UNIX environments that use the NFS protocol for file sharing and POSIX access control lists for folder permissions.
Generic iSCSI storage, which contains one or more virtual disks. Provides generic block-level storage to hosts and applications that use the iSCSI protocol to access storage in the form of virtual disks. Storage for VMware virtual machines through datastores that are accessible through either the NFS protocol or VMFS (over iSCSI) protocol. Install Service Pack 3 (SP3) or higher of the system management software to use this functionality.
Use Unisphere CLI in scripts

Use scripts with Unisphere CLI to automate routine tasks, such as provisioning storage or scheduling snapshots to protect stored data. For example, create a script to create a snapshot of an iSCSI virtual disk and delete the older snapshots created before it. EMC Customer Service does not provide sample scripts or support for custom scripting.

Set up the Unisphere CLI client

You can install and launch the Unisphere CLI client on a Microsoft Windows or UNIX/Linux computer. Unisphere CLI sends commands to the system through the secure HTTPS protocol.
Install the Unisphere CLI client

To install the Unisphere CLI client: 1. Go to the EMC Online Support website. 2. Download the Unisphere CLI client for your operating system. 3. Perform the following based on your operating system: On Windows, double-click the installer executable and follow the prompts. The default installation location is: C:\Program Files\EMC\Unisphere CLI Note: The installation directory is added to the PATH system variable. On UNIX/Linux, type: rpm -ihv <filename>, where filename is the name of the installer executable. The default installation location is: /opt/emc/uemcli-<version>/bin/, where version is the version of the client installed.
Launch the Unisphere CLI client

After installing the Unisphere CLI client, you can launch the client on a Microsoft Windows or UNIX/Linux computer. To launch the Unisphere CLI client, perform the following in a command prompt based on your operating system:
On Windows, type: uemcli.exe
On UNIX/Linux, type: /usr/bin/uemcli
Certificate verification
In order to establish a secure connection between UEM CLI and its backend VNXe server, a Public Key infrastructure (PKI) is used. An important component of PKI, is certificate verification. Certificate verification provides a way for a user to verify the backend server being contacted. When UEM CLI connects to a VNXe server requesting a secure connection, the server sends its identification in the form of a digital certificate. The certificate usually contains the following:

Server name Trusted certificate authority (CA) Server's public encryption key.
Set up the Unisphere CLI client 17
The UEM CLI client may contact the server that issued the certificate (the trusted CA) and confirm the validity of the certificate before proceeding. When the certificate is verified, UEM CLI and its backend VNXe server will establish the connection and begin to exchange data.
Certificate verification level

The setlevel_cli.sh script is used to set the certificate verification level to low or medium after the RPM package has been installed. low : The certificate verification process will not be used to access the array. medium: The certificate verification process will be used to access the array. Note: The default is medium. Execute the following command: /opt/Navisphere/bin/setlevel_cli.sh Then, follow the prompts. The tool will guide you through the steps to set the security level. For more information, see the section Manage SSL certificates on page 32

Unisphere CLI syntax

Following is the syntax of an example command line: uemcli [<switches>] <object path> [<object qualifier>] <action> [<action qualifiers>] Typographical conventions on page 12 explains the typographical conventions used in this document.
Executable
All command lines begin with the executable uemcli. If you do not start each command line with uemcli, the command fails and you must rerun the command. If you run only uemcli, without any switches or commands, the list of switches and their descriptions appears.
Switches
Use local switches to configure Unisphere CLI and connect to a system. Type switches immediately after uemcli. When typing more than one switch on the same line, separate each switch with a space. All switches start with a hyphen (-). Chapter 2, Use Switches provides details on all available switches.
Objects
Objects identify the type of object on which to perform an action, such as a user, host, LDAP setting, or the system your managing. All objects are categorized into types and are nested, as parent/child, to form a path to the actual object on which to perform an action, similar to locating a file in a filesystem. An object type can be a parent or a child of a parent. Not all parent object types contain child objects. For example, the deduplication object type does not contain children objects. All actions require the fully qualified path to the object. The one exception is the help switch, which applies to an object at any level in a path. Get help on page 24 explains how to use the -help switch. The actual object on which you perform an action is identified by an ID called an object qualifier, as explained in Object qualifiers on page 19.
Example 1
In the following example for creating a user account, the two object types are user and account: uemcli -d 10.0.0.1 -u Local/joe -p MyPassword456! /user/account create name user1 type local passwd Password789! role operator
Example 2
In the following example for viewing all user accounts on the system, the object types are user and account. An object ID is not specified, so the show action is performed on account, which displays a list of all user accounts: uemcli -d 10.0.0.1 -u Local/joe -p MyPassword456! /user/account show
Object qualifiers
Object qualifiers are unique identifiers for objects on the system. The format is: -<identifier> <value> where:

identifier Type of object qualifier. The most common is -id. value Actual object qualifier.
Unisphere CLI syntax 19
When you create an object, such as a user or network interface, it receives an ID, which is the object qualifier for that object. When performing actions such as viewing, changing, or deleting an object, you specify its object qualifier. The most common identifier is the -id parameter. The uniqueness of the qualifier is only guaranteed in the scope of the specified object type. All object qualifiers start with a hyphen (-).
Example
In the following example for changing the password of a user account, the object qualifier is local_user: uemcli -d 10.0.0.1 -u Local/joe -p MyPassword456! /user/account id local_user set passwd NewPassword456! oldpasswd password123
Actions
Actions are the operations performed on an object or object type, including creating, changing, viewing, and deleting. Actions are always required. Action commands on page 21 provides details on each of the action commands.
Example
In the following example for changing the password of a user account, the action is set: uemcli -d 10.0.0.1 -u Local/joe -p MyPassword456! /user/account id local_user set passwd NewPassword456! oldpasswd password123
Action qualifiers
Action qualifiers are parameters specific to actions, such as attributes or settings to modify when changing an object. All action qualifiers start with a hyphen (-).
Example
In the following example for changing a role and password for a user account, the action qualifiers are -passwd, -oldpasswd, and -role: uemcli -d 10.0.0.1 -u Local/joe -p MyPassword456! /user/account id local_user set passwd newpassword oldpasswd password123 -role administrator
Size qualifiers
Use size qualifiers to indicate a specific capacity-size value. To specify a fraction, use a period. For example, type 2.4T for 2.4 terabytes. The output for a size value displays the exact number of bytes and the specified size value: Size = 1209462790557 (1.1TB) Table 1 on page 20 lists the size qualifiers. The qualifiers are case-sensitive.

Action commands
When using Unisphere CLI, there are four primary action commands that you can perform on object types or objects, including creating, changing, viewing, and deleting. This section explains each of these four action commands. Unisphere CLI syntax on page 19 explains the relationship between action commands, object types, and objects.
The create action command

The create action command creates an object on the system based on the specified path to the object. If the command is successful, the new object receives an object qualifier, or ID, that identifies the object on the system.
Format
<object> create [<action qualifiers>]
Example
The following example uses the create action command to create a local user account. The new user account receives the ID Local_user/user1: uemcli -d 10.0.0.1 -u Local/joe -p MyPassword456! /user/account create name user1 type local passwd Password789! role operator Storage system address: 10.0.0.1 Storage system port: 443 HTTPS connection ID = Local_user/user1 Operation completed successfully.
The set action command

The set action command modifies, or changes, an object type or object based on the specified path and object qualifier. If the object identified by the object qualifier does not exist, an error message appears.
Format
<object path> set <object qualifier> [<action qualifiers>]
Example
The following example uses the set action command to change the password for a user account. The path /user/account specifies that the object type is a user account. The -id object qualifier identifies local_user as the user account to change: uemcli -d 10.0.0.1 -u Local/joe -p MyPassword456! /user/account id local_user set passwd NewPassword456! oldpasswd OldPassword456! Storage system address: 10.0.0.1 Storage system port: 443 HTTPS connection ID = local_user Operation completed successfully.
The show action command

The show action command displays a list of objects that exist on the system and the attributes of those objects. You can specify an object qualifier to view the attributes for a single object. The show action command provides
Action commands 21
qualifiers for changing the display of the output, including the format and the attributes to include. The available output formats are name-value pair (NVP), table, and comma-separated values (CSV).
Format
<object path> [<object qualifier>] show [-output {nvp|table[-wrap]|csv}] [{-brief|-detail}]

Name-value pair format on page 22 provides an example of the NVP format. table The table format displays output as a table, with column headers and rows. By default, values that are too long to fit in a column are cut off. Add -wrap after the table qualifier, separated by a space, so that the values wrap. Table format on page 22 provides an example of the table format. csv The comma-separated values (CSV) format is similar to the table format, but the names and values are separated by commas. Comma-separated values format on page 22 provides an example of the CSV format. Display all attributes. Display only the basic attributes (default).

Access the system

To access and run commands on a system through Unisphere CLI, specify the network name or management IP address of the system, your username, and your password.
IMPORTANT
Unisphere CLI does not provide a session mode in which you log in to the system once and run commands. You must type the destination system, your username, and your password each time you run a command. Doing so logs in to the system, runs the command, and then logs out. To avoid having to type the access credentials each time you run a command, include the -saveUser switch to save the username and password for the specified destination system and port pair.

User access credentials, including your username and password, for each system you access. SSL certificates imported from the system. Information about default system to access through Unisphere CLI, including the system name or IP address and the system port number.
Unisphere CLI saves the settings to a secure lockbox that resides locally on the host on which Unisphere CLI is installed. The stored data is only available on the host where it was saved and to the user who saved it. The lockbox resides in the following locations:
On Windows: XP C:\Documents and Settings\<account_name>\Local Settings\Application Data\EMC\UEM CLI\
On Windows 7 C:\Users\${user_name}\AppData\Local\.EMC\UEM CLI
On UNIX/Linux: <home_directory>/EMC/UEM CLI

Configure general system settings

Configure general settings on the system, including:

Enable or disable automatic failback for SP. Manually fail back storage servers (Shared Folder Servers and iSCSI nodes). Perform a check of the overall system health.
Note: Failover occurs when there is a hardware or software problem with an SP. This failover causes all storage servers that run on it to fail over to the another SP with minimal disruption to connected hosts. Once the SP is fixed, and automatic failover is enabled, all storage servers automatically fail back to their original SP. Table 3 on page 36 lists the general system attributes.
Table 3 General system attributes
Attribute
System name Model Platform type Product serial number Auto failback Health state
Description
Name of the system. System model. Hardware platform of the system. System serial number. Indication of whether auto failback is enabled for the SP. Value is on or off. Health state of the system. The health state code appears in parentheses. Value is one of the following: Unknown (0) Status is unknown. OK (05) Working correctly. OK BUT (7) Working correctly, but there could be a problem. Degraded/Warning (10) Working and performing all functions, but the performance may not be optimum. Minor failure (15) Working and performing all functions but overall performance is degraded. This condition has a minor impact on the system and should be remedied at some point, but does not have to be fixed immediately. Major failure (20) Failing and some or all functions may be degraded or not working. This condition has a significant impact on the system and should be remedied immediately. Critical failure (25) Failed and recovery may not be possible. This condition has resulted in data loss and should be remedied immediately. Non-recoverable error (30) Completely failed and cannot be recovered.

Manage remote logging

Log system messages to a remote host. Create a setting for remote logging that specifies the following:

The facility that will generate the log messages. The network name or IP address of a remote host that will receive the log data.
The remote host must be accessible from the system. Security for the log information must be provided through network access controls or the system security at the remote host. You can configure the log transmission method (UDP or TCP) and the host port that the system uses. By default, the system transfers log information on port 515 over the UDP protocol. Log files record messages to flat log files. The user-level system messages are recorded in English. However, you can specify a facility to select the type of information contained in the logs, according to the system component that issues it, and the language of any text in the log. View event logs and alerts on page 284 explains viewing details about current logs and alerts on the system. Table 14 on page 64 lists the attributes for remote system logging.

Manage snapshot protection schedules

To schedule snapshot creation, you assign a protection schedule to the storage resource of which to take snapshots. Schedules contain one or more task rules that define the time and frequency when snapshots of the storage resource are taken. When you create a task rule you can assign it to an existing schedule or the system will automatically assign it to a new schedule. Manage task rules on page 73 explains how to set up task rules. Manage snapshots on page 262 explains how to create snapshots manually and manage existing snapshots. Each protection schedule is identified by an ID.

Chapter 4, Configure Network Communication
Manage Shared Folder Servers

Shared Folder Servers are software components on the system that are dedicated to managing operations for data transferred through the CIFS or NFS protocols. You must configure at least one Shared Folder Server before you can create network share storage. You can configure a Shared Folder Server to support Windows network shares (CIFS), Linux/UNIX network shares (NFS), or both. Shared Folder Servers run on each SP and communicate with network hosts through SP ports. When configuring a Shared Folder Server, indicate the network interface that it will use to identify and communicate through the appropriate SP. Once you configure a Shared Folder Server, you can then create shared folders from which you export NFS or CIFS network shares. Configured hosts map or mount the network shares to access the shared folder storage. Each Shared Folder Server is identified by an ID. Table 19 on page 80 lists the attributes for Shared Folder Servers.
Table 19 Shared Folder Server attributes
Attribute
ID Name Health state
Description
ID of the Shared Folder Server. Name of the Shared Folder Server. Health state of the Shared Folder Server. The health state code appears in parentheses. Value is one of the following: Unknown (0) Status is unknown. OK (5) Working correctly. Degraded/Warning (10) Working and performing all functions, but the performance may not be optimum. Critical failure (25) Failed and recovery may not be possible. This condition has resulted in data loss and should be remedied immediately. Primary SP on which the Shared Folder Server runs. Value is SPA or SPB. Note: If the primary SP is degraded or has failed, the server fails over to the other SP. The value displays the current SP the server is using in parentheses. For example, SPA (failed over to SPB).

Manage reverse CHAP for mutual CHAP authentication

The Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is a security protocol that defines a method for authenticating hosts (initiators) and iSCSI nodes (targets). When CHAP is enabled, an iSCSI target will challenge an initiator that attempts to establish a connection with it. If the initiator does not respond with a valid password (called a secret), the target refuses the connection. CHAP authentication can be one-way, where only the target authenticates the initiator, or reverse (also called mutual), where the target and initiator authenticate each other. Compared to one-way CHAP, enabling reverse CHAP provides an extra level of security. To set one-way CHAP authentication, create an iSCSI CHAP account for a host. Manage iSCSI CHAP accounts for one-way CHAP authentication on page 146 explains the commands for configuring one-way CHAP authentication. Note: For reverse CHAP, the secret password you specify applies to all iSCSI nodes on the system. Also, the CHAP secret specified for any host configuration must be different from the reverse CHAP password specified for iSCSI nodes.

Manage reverse CHAP for mutual CHAP authentication 87
Set up iSNS for iSCSI storage

The iSNS protocol (iSNSP) allows centralized management of iSCSI devices. An iSNS server can provide services such as remote discovery and configuration for iSCSI nodes and hosts. When iSNSP is in use, both the iSCSI nodes (targets) and hosts (initiators) on the network must be configured to use the iSNS server. You create a single iSNS server record for the system. Table 20 on page 88 lists the attributes for iSNS server records.

Manage iSCSI nodes (servers)

iSCSI nodes, or iSCSI Servers, are software components on the system that are dedicated to managing operations for data transferred through the iSCSI protocol. You must configure at least one iSCSI node before you can create virtual disks to store your data. iSCSI nodes run on each SP and communicate with network hosts through the SP ports. When configuring an iSCSI node, you indicate on which SP you want the server to start up and run. iSCSI nodes handle storage creation, monitoring, and management tasks for generic iSCSI storage resources. Once you create an iSCSI node, you can then create virtual disks, to which configured hosts connect to access the storage. Hosts connect to the virtual disk through iSCSI initiators. Each iSCSI node is identified by an ID. Manage reverse CHAP for mutual CHAP authentication on page 86 explains how to configure reverse CHAP authentication between iSCSI hosts and nodes. Table 22 on page 92 lists the attributes for iSCSI nodes.

Manage static IP routes

A route determines where to forward a packet next so it can reach its destination, whether that destination is a network or host. A static route is a hard-coded path in the router that specifies how the router will get to a certain subnet by using a certain path. All routes have a value that allows the router to assign a priority to which type of routing is used first. In static routes, the value is 1 which means no matter what other protocol is running, the static route is used first. Note: An IP route connects an interface (IP address) to the larger network through a gateway. Without the route, the interface is no longer accessible outside its immediate subnet. As a result, network shares and exports associated with the interface are no longer available to clients outside of its immediate subnet. Each route is identified by an ID. Table 25 on page 104 describes the attributes for static IP routes.

Manage link aggregations

Link aggregation lets you link physical ports (for example, port 0 and port 1) on a SP to a single logical port and therefore lets you use up to four Ethernet ports on the SP. If your system has two SPs, and you link two physical ports, the same ports on both SPs are linked for redundancy. For example, if you link port 0 and port 1, the system creates a link aggregation for these ports on SP A and a link aggregation on SP B. Each link aggregation is identified by an ID. Note: The cabling on SP A must be identical to the cabling on SP B, or you cannot configure link aggregation. Link aggregation has the following advantages:

Increases overall throughput since two physical ports are linked into one logical port. Provides basic load balancing across linked ports since the network traffic is distributed across multiple physical ports. Provides redundant ports so that if one port in a linked pair fails, the system does not lose connectivity.
Note: With link aggregation, both linked ports must be connected to the same switch and the switch must be configured to use link aggregation that uses the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). The documentation that came with your switch should provide more information on using LACP. The Unisphere online help provides more details on cabling the SPs to the disk-array enclosures (DAEs). Table 26 on page 107 describes the attributes for link aggregation.
Table 26 Link aggregation attributes
Attribute
ID Ports SP MTU size Health state
Description
ID of the link aggregation. The ID is a combination of the link ID and the SP that contains the linked ports. IDs of the linked physical ports. The port names include the name of the SP that contains the ports. Name of the SP on which the ports are linked. Value is SPA or SPB. Maximum transmission unit (MTU) packet size (in bytes) for the linked ports. Default is 1500 bytes per packet. Health state of the link aggregation. The health state code appears in parentheses. Value is one of the following: Unknown (0) Status is unknown. OK (5) Working correctly. OK BUT (7) Lost connection, but the link aggregation is not in use. Degraded/Warning (10) Working and performing all functions, but the performance may not be optimum. Minor failure (15) Working and performing all functions, but overall performance is degraded. This condition has a minor impact on the system and should be remedied at some point, but does not need to be fixed immediately. Major failure (20) Failing and some or all functions may be degraded or not working. This condition has a significant impact on the system and should be remedied immediately. Critical failure (25) Failed and recovery may not be possible. This condition has resulted in data loss and should be remedied immediately.

Manage DNS settings

A domain name server (DNS) is a network service responsible for converting domain names to their corresponding IP addresses. The system uses DNS services to resolve network names and IP addresses for the network services it needs (for example, for NTP and SMTP servers) and so that it can obtain IP addresses for hosts addressed by network names rather than IP addresses. During the initial system configuration process you must specify the network address of at least one DNS server for resolving hostnames to IP addresses. Later, you can add, delete, or change DNS server settings. You can configure multiple DNS server domains to specify each domain and IP address of the DNS servers for the system to use. By default, the system uses the top entry in the list as the current DNS. The remaining list provides a hierarchy of DNS servers to use if the first-choice server becomes unavailable. If the first DNS server in the list becomes unavailable, the system proceeds to the next DNS server in the list, and so on. You can also specify default DNS server addresses to indicate which addresses the system will use first. DNS server addresses are grouped under DNS server domains. Each domain is identified by a domain ID.
CAUTION
You must configure at least one valid DNS server entry in the domain for the system. Deleting the last DNS entry can disrupt network communication to the device, and potentially interrupt communication between the system and the hosts that use its storage resources. Table 27 on page 111 lists the attributes for DNS domains.

Manage NTP server settings

Note: You must configure at least 1 NTP server record on the system. The system relies on the network time protocol (NTP) as a standard for synchronizing the system clock with other nodes on the network. NTP provides a way of synchronizing clocks of distributed systems within approximately one millisecond of each other. A Windows Active Directory domain controller can operate as a time server if the Windows Time Service is running on it. Some applications will not operate correctly if the clock on the system is not synchronized with the clock on connected hosts. Configure the system and any connected hosts to use the same time server. Doing so does the following:

Minimizes the chance that synchronization issues will arise between the system and connected hosts. Reduces the difficulty of reconciling timestamps used for log information in the different systems.
Note: When using a Shared Folder Server for CIFS network shares, the system cannot access an Active Directory domain unless the system is synchronized within five minutes of the Active Directory controller for the domain where the network shares reside. You can configure a total of three NTP server addresses for the system. All NTP server addresses are grouped into a single NTP server record. You must configure at least 1 NTP server record on the system. Table 28 on page 115 lists the attributes for the NTP server record.
Table 28 NTP server record attributes

Manage NIS server domains

The Network Information Service (NIS) consists of a directory service protocol for maintaining and distributing system configuration information, such as user and group information, hostnames, and e-mail aliases to network hosts. For example, to back up data on shared folder shares, some NDMP products require information from NIS servers to back up shared folder data. NIS server addresses are grouped under domains, which are identified by domain IDs. Table 29 on page 118 lists the attributes for NIS servers domains.

Manage LDAP settings

The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an application protocol for querying and modifying directory services running on TCP/IP networks. LDAP provides central management for network authentication and authorization operations by helping to centralize user and group management across the network. Integrating the system into an existing LDAP environment provides a way to control user and user group access to the system through Unisphere CLI or Unisphere. After you configure LDAP settings for the system, you can manage users and user groups, within the context of an established LDAP directory structure. For instance, you can assign access permissions to Unisphere CLI that are based on existing users and groups. Note: The system uses the LDAP settings only for facilitating control of access to Unisphere CLI and Unisphere, not for access to storage resources. Table 32 on page 125 lists the attributes for LDAP settings.
Table 32 LDAP server attributes
Attribute
ID Name Domain name Port Protocol

Manage host configurations

Hosts are the clients or servers in your network that access storage on the system. Host configurations are logical connections through which hosts or applications can access storage resources. Before a host can access storage, you must define a configuration for it and associate it with a storage resource. Create a host configuration for each host, host subnetwork (subnet), or network group (netgroup) that will access storage resources on the system. You can create the following types of host configurations:
Individual host configurations Enable you to define and control access to storage resources on a host-by-host basis. Subnet and netgroup configurations Enable you to define and control access to storage resources for multiple hosts or network segments.
For hosts that will access iSCSI storage, create an iSCSI port to specify the iSCSI initiator settings and assign it to a host configuration. Manage iSCSI initiators on page 143 explains how to configure iSCSI initiators for host configurations. Each host configuration is identified by an ID. Table 24 on page 136 lists the attributes for host configurations.
Table 24 Host configuration attributes
Attribute
ID Name Description Address
Description
ID of the host configuration. Name of the host configuration. Brief description of the host configuration. Hostname or IP address associated with the host, IP address of the subnet, or network address of the netgroup. Note: This information is required when connecting hosts to network shares on the system.
Netmask
Subnet mask IP address for the host.

Value is one of the following: host Define and control access to storage resources on a host-by-host basis. subnet A subnet is a logical grouping of connected network devices. Devices on a subnet share contiguous ranges of IP addresses. A subnet mask, or network mask, defines the boundaries of an IP subnet. You can associate a host configuration with a subnet mask to define and control storage access for hosts on a particular network segment. netgroup A netgroup is a named sets of hosts, users, or domains on a network. A netgroup can provide a way to reference sets of Linux/UNIX hosts collectively for accessing storage over NFS. You can create a host configuration for a netgroup to define and control storage access for multiple Linux/UNIX hosts or users through a single configuration. Note: Typically, netgroups are accessible only through NIS. If NIS is not running, netgroups are not defined. Manage NIS server domains on page 118 explains how to configure NIS server communication.

Manage iSCSI initiators

After you create a host configuration for controlling host access to storage on the system, you need to create an iSCSI initiator for each host configuration that accesses iSCSI storage. The iSCSI initiator represents the initiator on the host, which will connect to the target iSCSI node on the system. An iSCSI initiator contains a name for the host, its iSCSI address (an iSCSI initiator IQN), and, optionally, the CHAP authentication password associated with the host. Manage reverse CHAP for mutual CHAP authentication on page 86 explains how to configure reverse (two-way) CHAP authentication on the system. Note: You cannot modify an iSCSI initiator. Delete the iSCSI initiator and re-create it with the new settings. Each iSCSI initiator is identified by an ID. Table 25 on page 143 lists the attributes for iSCSI initiators.

Manage iSCSI CHAP accounts for one-way CHAP authentication

The system uses a CHAP account to authenticate a host (initiator) attempting to access an iSCSI storage resource (target). CHAP authentication can be one of the following:
One-way, where only the target authenticates the initiator. To set one-way CHAP authentication, create a CHAP account for a host configuration that access iSCSI storage. Reverse (also called mutual or two-way), where the target and initiator authenticate each other. Compared to one-way CHAP, enabling reverse CHAP provides an extra level of security. To set reverse CHAP, specify a reverse secret password. Manage reverse CHAP for mutual CHAP authentication on page 86 explains how to configure reverse CHAP authentication.
Each CHAP account is identified by an ID. Table 26 on page 146 lists the attributes for CHAP accounts.

Configure storage pools automatically

Storage pools are the groups of disks, called disk groups, on which you create storage resources. The system can automatically configure storage pools by selecting the appropriate disk groups based on the type and availability of disks in the system. Configure custom storage pools on page 176 explains how to configure custom storage pools. Note: Before you create storage resources, you must configure at least one storage pool. Table 41 on page 174 lists the attributes for automatic pool configuration.
Table 41 Automatic pool configuration attributes
Attribute
Target
Description
Type of disk configuration. Value is one of the following: pool Disks configured in a pool. spares Disks assigned to storage pools as spares. The number of spares assigned to a pool is dependent on the disk type and pool type: - For Capacity pools, no spare disks are assigned. - For Performance pools, a spare disk is assigned for the first 030 disks, and then another spare disk is assigned for every group of thirty disks after that. - For Flash pools, a spare disk is assigned for the first 030 disks, and then another spare disk is assigned for every group of thirty disks after that. Name of the pool. The system allocates disks to one or more of the following pools based on the types and characteristics of the disks on the system: Capacity Storage allocated from near-line (NL) serial attached SCSI (SAS) disks. Provides high-capacity storage, but with lower overall performance to regular SAS and Enterprise Flash Drive (EFD) disks. Use NL SAS disks to provide extremely economical storage for operations, such as data backup, that do not require high I/O performance. Performance Storage allocated from serial attached SCSI (SAS) disks. Provides medium performance and medium capacity storage for applications that require balance of performance and capacity. Flash Storage allocated from EFD disks. Extremely high level performance, but at a relatively high cost per GB of storage. EFDs are most applicable to applications that require high I/O performance and energy efficiency. Depending on the pool type, the system configures the disks into different RAID groups and assigns disks to pools as spares. The Unisphere online help provides more details about storage pools and spares. List of disks currently in the pool. List of disks to be added to the pool.

Configure custom storage pools

Storage pools are the groups of disks on which you create storage resources. Configure storage pools based on the type of storage resource and usage that will be associated with the pool, such as shared folder storage optimized for database usage. The storage characteristics differ according to the following:

Type of disk used to provide the storage. RAID level implemented for the storage.
Note: Before you create storage resources, you must configure at least one storage pool. Configure storage pools automatically on page 174 explains how to have the system configure storage pools automatically. Table 42 on page 176 lists the attributes for storage pools.
Table 42 Custom storage pool attributes
Attribute
ID Name Description Total space Current allocation Remaining space Subscription
Description
ID of the storage pool. Name of the storage pool. Brief description of the storage pool. Total storage capacity of the storage pool. Amount of storage in the storage pool allocated to storage resources. Amount of storage in the storage pool not allocated to storage resources. For thin provisioning, the total storage space subscribed to the storage pool. All storage pools support both standard and thin provisioned storage resources. For standard storage resources, the entire requested size is allocated from the pool when the resource is created, for thin provisioned storage resources only incremental portions of the size are allocated based on usage. Because thin provisioned storage resources can subscribe to more storage than is actually allocated to them, storage pools can be over provisioned to support more storage capacity than they actually possess. The system automatically generates an alert when the total pool usage reaches 85% of the pool's physical capacity. -alertThreshold specifies the alert threshold value. For thin provisioning, the percentage of the total space in the storage pool that is subscription storage space. Threshold for the system to send an alert when hosts have consumed a specific percentage of the subscription space. Value range is 50 to 85. List of the types of disks on the system, including the number of disks of each type, in the storage pool. Total number of disks in the storage pool. Number of disks in the storage pool that are not being used. RAID level of the disks in the storage pool. Number of disks the data is striped across.

Manage shared folders

Shared folders are logical containers on the system that provide file-based storage resources to hosts. You configure shared folders on Shared Folder Servers, which maintain and manage filesystems for the shared folders. You create network shares on the shared folder, which connected hosts map or mount to access the shared folder storage. When creating a shared folder, you can enable support for the following network shares:

Common Internet File System (CIFS) shares, which provide storage access to Windows hosts. Network file system (NFS) shares, which provide storage access to Linux/UNIX hosts.
Each shared folder is identified by an ID. Table 47 on page 192 lists the attributes for shared folders.
Table 47 Shared folder attributes

Attribute
Size Size used Maximum size Thin provisioning enabled
Description
Quantity of storage reserved for primary data. Quantity of storage currently used for primary data. Maximum size to which you can increase the primary storage capacity. Indication of whether thin provisioning is enabled. Value is yes or no. Default is no. All storage pools support both standard and thin provisioned storage resources. For standard storage resources, the entire requested size is allocated from the pool when the resource is created, for thin provisioned storage resources only incremental portions of the size are allocated based on usage. Because thin provisioned storage resources can subscribe to more storage than is actually allocated to them, storage pools can be over provisioned to support more storage capacity than they actually possess. The Unisphere online help provides more details on thin provisioning. If enabled, the quantity of primary storage currently allocated through thin provisioning. Quantity of storage reserved for protection data. Quantity of storage currently used for protection data. If thin provisioning is enabled, the quantity of protection storage currently allocated through thin provisioning. Maximum size to which you can increase protection storage capacity. Indication of whether auto-adjust protection is enabled. Value is yes or no. This feature automatically adjusts the size of the protection storage in proportion with changes to the size of the primary storage. ID of an applied protection schedule. View protection schedules on page 71 explains how to view the IDs of schedules on the system. Indication of whether an applied protection schedule is currently paused. Value is yes or no. Indication of whether file-level retention (FLR) is enabled. Value is yes or no. FLR provides a way to set file-based permissions to limit write access to the files for a specific period of time. In this way, file-level retention can ensure the integrity of data during that period by creating an unalterable set of files and directories. Note: File-level retention prevents files from being modified or deleted by NAS clients and users. Once you enable FLR for a Windows shared folder, you cannot disable it. Leave FLR disabled unless you intend to implement self-regulated archiving and you intend the administrator to be the only trusted user of the shared folder on which FLR is enabled. The Unisphere online help and the host documentation provide more details on FLR.

Attribute
CIFS synchronous write
Description
Indication of whether CIFS synchronous writes option is enabled. Value is yes or no. The CIFS synchronous writes option provides enhanced support for applications that store and access database files on Windows network shares. On most CIFS filesystems read operations are synchronous and write operations are asynchronous. When you enable the CIFS synchronous writes option for a Windows (CIFS) shared folder, the system performs immediate synchronous writes for storage operations, regardless of how the CIFS protocol performs write operations. Enabling synchronous write operations allows you to store and access database files (for example, MySQL) on CIFS network shares. This option guarantees that any write to the share is done synchronously and reduces the chances of data loss or file corruption in various failure scenarios, for example, loss of power. Note: Do not enable CIFS synchronous writes unless you intend to use the Windows shared folders to provide storage for database applications. The Unisphere online help provides more details on CIFS synchronous write.
CIFS oplocks
Indication of whether opportunistic file locks (oplocks) for CIFS network shares are enabled. Value is yes or no. Oplocks allow CIFS clients to buffer file data locally before sending it to a server. CIFS clients can then work with files locally and periodically communicate changes to the system, rather than having to communicate every operation to the system over the network. This feature is enabled by default for Windows (CIFS) shared folders. Unless your application handles critical data or has specific requirements that make this mode or operation unfeasible, leave oplocks enabled. The Unisphere online help provides more details on CIFS oplocks. Indication of whether write notifications for CIFS network shares are enabled. Value is yes or no. When enabled, Windows applications receive notifications each time a user writes or changes a file on the CIFS share. Note: If this option is enabled, the value for CIFS directory depth indicates the lowest directory level to which the notification setting applies.
CIFS notify on write
CIFS notify on access
Indication of whether file access notifications for CIFS shares are enabled. Value is yes or no. When enabled, Windows applications receive notifications each time a user accesses a file on the CIFS share. Note: If this option is enabled, the value for CIFS directory depth indicates the lowest directory level to which the notification setting applies.
CIFS directory depth Replication destination
For write and access notifications on CIFS network shares, the subdirectory depth permitted for file notifications. Value range is 1512. Default is 512. Indication of whether the shared folder is a destination for a replication session (local or remote). Value is yes or no. Manage replication sessions on page 269 explains how to configure replication sessions on the system. Indication of whether deduplication is enabled on the shared folder. Value is yes or no. Date and time when the shared folder was created. Date and time when the shared folder settings were last changed.
Deduplication enabled Creation time Last modified time

Create NFS network shares

Create an NFS share to export a shared folder through the NFS protocol. Note: Share access permissions set for specific hosts take effect only if the host-specific setting is less restrictive than the default access setting for the share. Additionally, setting access for a specific host to No Access always takes effect over the default access setting. Example 1: If the default access setting for a share is Read-Only, setting the access for a specific host configuration to Read/Write will result in an effective host access of Read/Write. Example 2: If the default access setting for the share is Read-Only, setting the access permission for a particular host configuration to No Access will take effect and prevent that host from accessing to the share.

View shared folders on page 197 explains how to view the IDs of the shared folders on the system. Type a name for the directory on the system where the share will reside. CIFS shared folders allow you to create multiple network shares with the same local path. You can specify different host-side access controls for different users, but the network shares within the shared folder will all access common content. If you want the CIFS network shares within the same shared folder to access different content, you must first create the network shares within the shared folder from a Windows host that is mapped to the shared folder. After the additional network shares are created from a Windows host, you can create corresponding network shares in Unisphere CLI.

Manage generic iSCSI storage resources

Generic iSCSI storage resources provide hosts and applications with raw block storage that they can access over network connections. Hosts access iSCSI storage resources through virtual disks. A virtual disk reserves a specific quantity of storage resources for a specific host. When the host connects to the virtual disk, it can format the virtual disk appropriately, and then use it like a local storage device. The system organizes generic iSCSI storage into the following categories:

iSCSI storage resource A container for iSCSI storage associated with a particular host. Virtual disk An individual instance of generic iSCSI storage associated with a specific quantity and pool of storage, and referenced by a particular logical unit identifier (LUN).
Generic iSCSI storage resources can contain one or more virtual disks. When you configure host access to a generic iSCSI storage resource, the specified access extends to all virtual disks within the storage resource. Table 51 on page 212 lists the attributes for iSCSI storage resources.

Manage iSCSI virtual disks

A virtual disk is a single block of storage that represents a specific storage pool and quantity of a generic iSCSI storage resource. Each virtual disk is associated with a name and logical unit number (LUN) identifier. After you create a generic iSCSI storage resource, you then create virtual disks from it. Host initiators connected to a target iSCSI node can map to the virtual disk to access the iSCSI storage. Each virtual disk is identified by an ID. Table 52 on page 218 lists the attributes for virtual disks.
Table 52 Virtual disk attributes
Attribute

Maximum size to which you can increase the primary storage capacity. Indication of whether thin provisioning is enabled. Value is yes or no. Default is no. All storage pools support both standard and thin provisioned storage resources. For standard storage resources, the entire requested size is allocated from the pool when the resource is created, for thin provisioned storage resources only incremental portions of the size are allocated based on usage. Because thin provisioned storage resources can subscribe to more storage than is actually allocated to them, storage pools can be over provisioned to support more storage capacity than they actually possess. The Unisphere online help provides more details on thin provisioning. If thin provisioning is enabled, the quantity of primary storage currently allocated through thin provisioning.

Note: Share access permissions set for specific hosts take effect only if the host-specific setting is less restrictive than the default access setting for the share. Additionally, setting access for a specific host to No Access always takes effect over the default access setting. Example 1: If the default access setting for a share is Read-Only, setting the access for a specific host configuration to Read/Write will result in an effective host access of Read/Write. Example 2: If the default access setting for the share is Read-Only, setting the access permission for a particular host configuration to No Access will take effect and prevent that host from accessing to the share. Example 3: If the default access setting for a share is Read-Write, setting the access permission for a particular host configuration to Read-Only will result in an effective host access of Read/Write.

Manage VMware VMFS datastores

Note: Install Service Pack 3 (SP3) or higher of the system management software to use this functionality. Virtual Machine Filesystem (VMFS) datastores provide block storage for ESX Server hosts. VMFS datastores appear to ESX Server hosts as virtual disks, to which the hosts connect through the iSCSI protocol. You can provision and manage NFS datastores and view details about each NFS datastore on the system, such as their storage capacity and health. Each VMFS datastore is identified by an ID. Table 51 on page 212 lists the attributes for VMFS datastores.

Thin provisioning enabled
Description
Indication of whether thin provisioning is enabled. Value is yes or no. Default is no. All storage pools support both standard and thin provisioned storage resources. For standard storage resources, the entire requested size is allocated from the pool when the resource is created, for thin provisioned storage resources only incremental portions of the size are allocated based on usage. Because thin provisioned storage resources can subscribe to more storage than is actually allocated to them, storage pools can be over provisioned to support more storage capacity than they actually possess. The Unisphere online help provides more details on thin provisioning. If thin provisioning is enabled, the quantity of primary storage currently allocated through thin provisioning. Quantity of storage reserved for protection data, such as snapshots. Quantity of storage currently used for protection data. Maximum size to which you can increase the protection storage size. Indication of whether the auto-adjust protection storage feature is enabled. Value is yes or no. The auto-adjust protection feature automatically adjusts the protection storage size in proportion to changes to the primary storage size. ID of a protection schedule applied to the VMFS datastore. View protection schedules on page 71 explains how to view the IDs of the schedules on the system. Indication of whether an applied protection schedule is currently paused.

Manage data deduplication

Deduplication increases file storage efficiency by eliminating redundant data from the files stored in the filesystem on a storage resource, such as a shared folder, which saves storage space. Enable deduplication on a storage resource and the system scans the filesystem on the storage resource for redundant data and deduplicates the data to free storage space. The scan runs once every week. When the system is busy, scanning is limited, or suspended, so as not to further reduce system performance. When the system returns to normal operation, normal scanning resumes. After deduplicating a filesystem, the amount of storage used by the storage resource is significantly reduced, as much as 50 percent. The Unisphere online help provides more details about deduplication. You can enable deduplication for shared folders. Table 62 on page 256 lists the attributes for deduplication.

Chapter 8, Protect Data
Manage snapshots
A snapshot is a virtual point-in-time image of the data within a storage resource that has changed since the last snapshot. Snapshots provide a record of the content in the targeted storage resource at a particular date and time, but are not mirror copies of the data. Periodically creating snapshots of filesystems and virtual disks provides an effective technique for meeting data protection and recovery requirements. Based on the importance and volatility of data within a storage resource, you can define recurring schedules that specify times and intervals for snapshot operations. Use snapshots to perform the following:

Restore a storage resource to a previous point-in-time. Access the contents of a snapshot to recover corrupted or accidentally deleted files and data.
To routinely take snapshots automatically, associate a snapshot with a schedule. Manage snapshot protection schedules on page 71 explains how to configure schedules on the system. Each snapshot is identified by an ID. Note: Snapshots do not provide a substitute for storage backup operations. Snapshots are not intended to provide resources for recovering from disasters or the loss of physical equipment.
Note: To ensure a host has the correct permissions to access snapshots, check the host access permissions for the appropriate storage resource. View shared folders on page 197 explains how to view host access permissions for shared folders. View iSCSI storage resources on page 215 explains how to view the host access permissions for iSCSI storage resources. Table 63 on page 262 lists the attributes for snapshots.

Create snapshots
Create a snapshot of a storage resource. Note: Snapshots of iSCSI virtual disks are not intended for use as mirrors, disaster recovery, or high-availability tools. Because iSCSI snapshots are partially derived from real-time data on iSCSI virtual disks, snapshots can become inaccessible (not readable) if the primary virtual disk becomes inaccessible.
Prerequisite
Snapshots are stored in the protection capacity of the storage resource. Ensure that enough protection capacity exists to accommodate snapshots.

Promote snapshots to hosts

For snapshots of iSCSI storage resources, promote a snapshot to make it available to hosts. Note: Before a host can access a promoted snapshot, it must have snapshot permissions to the appropriate iSCSI storage resource. Manage generic iSCSI storage resources on page 212 explains how to configure host access permissions for iSCSI storage resources.

Demote snapshots
For snapshots of iSCSI storage resources, demote a promoted snapshot to block host access to the snapshot. Note: Before a host can access a promoted snapshot, it must have snapshot permissions to the appropriate iSCSI storage resource. Manage generic iSCSI storage resources on page 212 explains how to configure host access permissions for generic iSCSI storage.

Restore storage resources to snapshots

Restore a storage resource to a snapshot to return (roll back) the storage resource to a previous state. During the restore, the entire storage resource, including all files and data stored on it, is replaced with the contents of the selected snapshot. Note: Before the restoration begins, the system creates a snapshot of the shared folder to be restored. You can use the snapshot to restore the shared folder to its previous state before you restored it the first time.
CAUTION
For generic iSCSI storage, any snapshots that were created after the snapshot to which you restore are destroyed and cannot be recovered. For Shared Folders, all snapshots remain on the system.
Prerequisites
To prevent data loss, ensure that all hosts have completed all read and write operations to the storage resource you want to restore. For generic iSCSI storage: If the snapshot is promoted you must first demote it or an error will appear when you attempt to restore to it. If a host is connected to the virtual disk (seen by the host as a disk) you want to restore, the restore will not complete. Perform one of the following to the virtual disk to disconnect it from the host: On Windows, disable the virtual disk in the Device Manager, which might require a host reboot. On Linux/UNIX, run the unmount command on the virtual. Once the virtual disk is disconnected, you can continue with the restore and then enable and mount the restored virtual disk on the host.

Manage replication sessions

Storage replication is a process in which storage data is duplicated either locally or to a remote network device. Replication produces a read-only, point-in-time copy of source storage data and periodically updates the copy, keeping it consistent with the source data. Storage replication provides an enhanced level of redundancy in case the main storage backup system fails. As a result:

Downtime associated cost of a system failure is minimized. Recovery process from a natural or human-caused disaster is facilitated.
Replication provides easy-to-use asynchronous replication tools for creating point-in-time copies of storage resources. A replication session establishes an end-to-end path for a replication operation between a source and destination. The replication source and destination may be remote or local. The session establishes the path that the data follows as it moves from source to destination. Each replication session is identified by an ID. The Unisphere online help provides more details about storage replication. Table 64 on page 269 lists the attributes for replication sessions.
Table 64 Replication session attributes
Attribute
ID Remote session ID Synchronization
Description
ID of the session. Identified session in case of replication with VNX system. Type of synchronization. Value is one of the following: manual Data is replicated when manually initiated in the CLI or Unisphere. auto Data is replicated automatically in order to maintain the appropriate Recovery Point Objective (RPO). As the RPO increases, the potential for data loss also increases, as well as the amount of required protection space. Lowering the RPO will reduce the amount of potential data loss, but will also increase network traffic and may negatively impact performance. The default RPO is one hour. Recovery Point Objective (RPO) interval for automatic synchronization. Storage type of the session. Value is one of the following: net File-based storage, such as shared folder storage. iscsi iSCSI storage. Type of storage resource to which the replication session is applied. Note that as of this writing, only file-based replication is supported. However, this parameter exists in output, so all sessions will have a net value.

Health state
Description
Health state of the session. Value is one of the following: OK Session is operating normally. Degraded/Warning Session is currently paused. Minor failure An error has caused one or more of the following: - Session has stopped. You can try to resume a stopped replication session. - Session has failed over, likely due to the source storage resource becoming unavailable. The destination storage resource is now in a read/write state. Review the state of the source and check your network connections for any problems. Once the source is back online, you can fail back the session to return it to normal operation. Fail back replication sessions on page 278 explains how to fail back replication sessions that have failed over. - Communication with the replication host has been lost. It is likely that the system is either powered down or there is a network connectivity issue between the systems. A change in the network configuration on either side could also interrupt communication. CAUTION
If the replication session is in an error state, the session will not be recoverable. You will need to delete the session and create a new replication session.
Operational status Network status Operational status of the session. The operational status code appears in parentheses. Status of the network connection. Value is one of the following: Unknown Network status is currently unknown. If you continue to see this value, check the network connections. OK Network connection is operating normally. Lost Communication Communication with the replication host has been lost. It is likely that the system is either powered down or there is a network connectivity issue between the systems. A change in the network configuration on either side could also interrupt communication. Status of the source storage resource in the session. Value is one of the following: Unknown Source status is unknown. OK Source is operating normally. Paused Replication session for the source is currently paused. Fatal replication issue Source has experienced a critical error and the replication session has stopped. Delete the replication session and re-create it. Lost communication Communication with the replication host has been lost. It is likely that the system is either powered down or there is a network connectivity issue between the systems. A change in the network configuration on either side could also interrupt communication. Failed over The replication session has failed over to the destination site. In a failover state, the destination object is read/write. When communication is reestablished between the source and destination, the source becomes read-only. To resume operations on the source site, the replication session needs to be failed back. Fail back replication sessions on page 278 explains how to fail back replication sessions that have failed over. Switched over The replication session has been switched over. A switch over operation synchronizes the destination object with the source and stops replication session with no data loss. In a switch over state, the destination status is read/write and the source is read-only. The direction of the replication does not change.

View event logs and alerts

The system monitors and reports on a variety of system events. It collects the events and writes them to the user log. The log contains a record for each event. Some log entries generate alerts. Alerts are usually events that require attention from the system administrator and typically indicate a system problem. For example, you might receive an alert telling you that a disk has faulted, or that the system is low on storage capacity. In Unisphere, events appear as messages and alerts. Unisphere CLI displays additional event attributes that provide more detailed event reports than what appear in Unisphere. Configure alert settings on page 287 explains the commands for configuring alerts. The Unisphere online help provides more details on logs and alerts. Each event record and alert is identified by an ID. Table 66 on page 284 lists the attributes for event records.

Configure SNMP destinations for alerts

The system uses the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to transfer system alerts as traps to an SNMP destination host. Traps are asynchronous messages that notify the SNMP destination when system and user events occur. The three types of traps are:

Information Provide routine status information about system operation. Warnings Indicate that a problem has occurred or may occur. Errors Report system problems that occurred or are occurring.
You can configure the types of alert information the system reports (informational, error, or emergency indications). Each SNMP destination is identified by an ID. Table 69 on page 291 lists the attributes for SNMP destinations.

Chapter 10, Service the System
Change the Service password

Note: Install Service Pack 3 (SP3) or higher of the system management software to use this functionality. The system ships with a default Service password for performing service actions on the system. After you change the password, the old Service password will not work.
Prerequisite
Both Storage Processors (SPs) must be present in the system and their boot mode must be Normal Mode. If you have removed an SP or an SP has failed, you must replace the SP before you can change the Service password.
Format
/service/user set passwd <value> [-oldpasswd <value> | -force

Qualifier
-passwd
Description
Type a new Service password. The following are the password requirements: Passwords must be 8 to 40 characters in length and cannot contain spaces. Passwords must include mixed case, a number, and a special character from this list: !,@#$%^*?_~ When changing a password, do not reuse any of the last 3 passwords. Type the old password to set the new password. Specify whether it is a password modification request or a password reset request. This is intended to be used by service user only.
-oldpasswd -force
Example
The following command changes the Service password. Note that this can only be executed in normal mode.: uemcli -d 10.0.0.1 -u Local/joe -p MyPassword456! /service/user set passwd NewPassword456! oldpasswd OldPassword456!

Unisphere CLI encoding information

Earlier versions of the CLI (prior to 1.5.1.1) used ASCII encoding or a superset of ASCII. In order to be able to display localized names, VNXeUnisphereCLI (Windows only) enforces the output to be in wide char format (UTF-16) with BOM. There have been reports of problems when using Perl on Windows with the VNXe Unisphere CLI. Since returned bytes are using an encoding that is not a superset of ASCII, this results in the characters being unreadable. The script writer may need to decode those bytes from UTF-16 into Unicode characters. The following is an example of one way to decode the bytes within a Perl script. Note that the means of decoding in other scripting languages will vary:
if (@ans && $ans[0] =~ m/\x00/) { my $s = decode('utf-16', join(encode('ucs-2', "\n"), @ans)); @ans = split(/\n/, $s); }
