HP StorageWorks SAN Virtualization Services Platform Data Path Module user guide (5697-8058, March 2009)

1 Data Path Module management interface
options
There are two ways to interface with the Data Path Module (DPM):
• Over a serial connection using the DPM management command line interface (CLI)
• Over an IP connection using the DPM management graphical user interface (GUI)
Most activity with the DPM GUI occurs during initial configuration and debugging (when requested
by HP Support). Therefore, under normal operation, the DPM GUI is seldom used. Of the two interface
methods, using the serial connection is the preferred method because it more secure than using the
Internet.
This document describes the two interface methods beginning with the CLI.
