Getting Syntax Help

Prev Next

To see syntax information for a given command, display its help message by entering the command name at the prompt, followed by -h or --help. The help message indicates supported arguments.

For example, to display arguments for the command view create , run view create --help:

vcli: admin> view create --help
optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --cluster-id
  --path
  --alias
  --policy-id
  --qos-policy-id
  --create-dir
<...>

For help entering a valid value for an argument, type a space after the argument to reveal a generic value format, an array of possible values, or an example. For example:
