Before Using the CLI
Before you can use the CLI, you must configure the CLI environment. To connect to the management
server, enter the following command on the computer from which you will run the CLI commands.
This computer must already have the CLI installed:
• Microsoft Windows:
appiqconfig -username <name> -password <passwd> -server <ip/name> -
transport <transport> -erroroutput <erroroutput> -port <port>
• UNIX:
./appiqconfig -username <name> -password <passwd> -server <ip/name> -
transport <transport> -erroroutput <erroroutput> -port <port>
where
• <name> is the user name you use to log onto HP Systems Insight Manager. Also include its
domain name, for example domain\Administrator.
• <passwd> is the password you use to log onto HP Systems Insight Manager.
• <ip/name> is the IP address or server name of the server running HP Systems Insight
Manager.
•
<transport> - (Optional) is the transport that will be used for the CLI commands. The
management server supports the following transport types:
• https - Default setting if the transport type is not specified.
• http
• RMI
• <erroroutput> - (Optional) Determines how much information is provided in error
messages. The following are the options:
• minimal (min) - Displays numeric return code, no exception messaging or stack trace
produced. You can also use min for minimal.
• standard (std) - This option is the default setting. It displays numeric error return code as
well as a brief textual message (if available) describing the error. You can also use std for
standard.
• maximum (max) - This option is the “debug” level setting, aside from the numeric error
code it dumps a stack trace for any thrown exception. You can also use max for maximum.
•
<port> - (Optional) Sets the port for the CLI. Use this feature when you want to use a
nonstandard port for the CLI. If you do not set this option, the management server uses the
following standard communication ports:
