Using White Space in a Command Line

The CLI uses white space (i.e., one or more tab or space characters) as a delimiter between command line elements. To include spaces within a command line element (such as a string, a list of objects, or multiple flags), the entire element must be contained in double quotes. For example, this command line uses a space between the two server instances and two flags specified:

eqcli > srvpool sp01 si “sv01, sv02” flags “hot_spare, quiesce”
