HP StorageWorks SAN Virtualization Services Platform 3.0.2 Virtualization Services Manager Demo Mode User Guide (5697-0346, May 2010)

4 To modify or create the setup database
(optional)
The Demo Mode program comes with a default setup database that represents a typical HP storage
environment. It is also possible to modify the setup database or build a new one from scratch.
The setup database is created or modified by using the dbinit.exe command line utility. This utility
accepts commands that create or delete components (back-end LU, HBA, hosts, VSM, and DPM).
Instead of typing one command line for each component, there is an option to have a text file with
all the commands. Run dbinit.exe and accept the text file with all the commands listed inside. For
a detailed description on using the dbinit.exe command, see “How to use DBINIT” on page 27.
Creating a new setup database
1. Stop the Demo Mode program.
2. Go to C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\SVSP\Core and open the dbinit.txt
file with an editor like Notepad.
