HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software 7.1 CLI Reference Guide (TB581-96051, May 2011)

DescriptionStatus
Argument for the
option
Option
The Device Manager server login password or the path
to the password file that contains the login password.
#1, #2, #3
A password can either be specified directly, or a file
containing a password can be specified. The
application user needs to have access permissions for
the password file. Do not grant access permissions to
common users for the password file.
When specifying the password file, include an @ sign
at the beginning of the path. The text on the first line of
the specified file is read and used as the password.
HP recommends that you set an encoded character
string rather than plain text for the password file. For
details about how to encode a password, see
“Encoding the password in the properties file or
password file” on page 358.

the Device Manager server.
OptionalNo argument

An XML API request file.
Takes input from the specified file, which must contain
the Device Manager server request as a complete XML
document. When this option is selected, the output of
the server's response is an XML-formatted document.
If you specify this option, the specification in the file
overrides the equivalent specification from the command
line.

option.

send the execution results to the standard output.
If you specify an existing file, that file is overwritten.

GetStorageArray command. The execution results
of the GetStorageArray command can be output in
the following formats:
csv: CSV format
#4
xml: XML format
Note: Specify csv or xml by using lowercase letters.
If this option is omitted, the execution results are output
in the standard format.
You cannot specify this option together with either the
-i (or --input) option or the -b (or --batch) option.
