Conventions
In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.
Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "The attribute that confirms that the flash device has been tagged successfully is IsCapacityFlash
."
Any command-line input or output is written as follows:
# vdq -q -d naa.5000c5006bc235b3 \{ "Name" : "naa.5000c5006bc235b3", "VSANUUID : "", "State" : "Eligible for use by VSAN", "ChecksumSupport" : "0", "Reason" : "None", "IsSSD" : "1", "IsCapacityFlash" : "1", "IsPDL" : "0", \},
New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "This can be done automatically by setting the VSAN cluster to the Automatic mode, as explained in the preceding example".
