Using the properties file to specify options
Command options can be specified from the command line or in the properties file. When they have
been specified in the properties file, you do not need to specify them from the command line.
• If you specify options from the command line when they have been specified in the properties file,
the values of the options specified from the command line have precedence.
• When you specify options in the properties file, use a word expression for an option name as
shown in the following example:
output=redirect.out
messagetrace=true
When you specify an option that does not have an argument, set the argument to true.
When true is set in a properties file for an option without an argument, it cannot be overwritten to
false from the command line.
The following table lists options and their corresponding properties.
Table 143 Options and their corresponding properties

This option and property can be specified only when the GetStorageArray command is used.
Encoding the password in the properties file or password file
Specify a password in the properties file (hdvmcli.properties) or password file, to omit entering
the password when using the Device Manager CLI. You can specify a plain text password for the
properties file or password file. However, HP recommends that you use the hdvmaccount command
to encode the password for better security.
