Messages in the CLI and management console server

When you use the command-line interface and the management console, the applications provide messages regarding the application processes, status, and errors.

The user interfaces and the supporting software issue three types of messages. When you need to see the details about a DS CLI message, use the helpmsg command.
Informational messages
These messages are identified by the letter "I" at the end of the message identifier. They provide information about system activities as they take place. For example, an informational message might report that a volume was successfully created. No user action is necessary.
Warning messages
These messages are identified by the letter "W" at the end of the message identifier. They warn that user activated activities might have consequences that you do not anticipate. Warning messages normally provide the opportunity to continue an activity or to cancel it.
Error messages
These messages are identified by the letter "E" at the end of the message identifier. They indicate that an error has occurred. Refer to the explanations and recommended actions in this document to resolve the problem.
