Bigpipe Usage Notes
font color=redFrom v9.4, be aware of the administrative partition that is currently active;/font use the bigpipe shell partition command to display the current active partition name and the bigpipe shell partition name command to change partitions.
Note in most cases, the font color=purpleshow/font keyword displays object status or statistics, the font color=purplelist/font keyword displays configuration. URemember/U, from v9.4, only objects in the currently active administrative partion will be displayed.
The bigpipe command can be abbreviated to just b (e.g. b help instead of bigpipe help.) Alternatively, (from v9.4,) you can use the bigpipe shell to enter commands without prefixing them with bigpipe.
Where curly or normal brackets {}' or () or quotes ' or exclamation mark ! are required as part of a command and you are not using the bigpipe shell, they must be proceeded with a back slash \ to prevent the BASH shell from parsing them as system commands.
font color=redDon't forget to save your changes using the bigpipe save all command as necessary./font noinclude/noinclude
