HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software 7.3.1-00 CLI Reference Guide

FunctionVariable
Options control the behavior of the CLI application. Options are entered in the typical
UNIX fashion. Options are case sensitive. Each option has a single character
representation and an alternate word representation; for the single character, prefix the
character with a single dash; for the word, prefix the word with two dashes. For example:
-t or --messagetrace. Some options require an argument, which follows the option.
For example, the -u option is followed by a user ID. For details about the options that
can be used with the Device Manager CLI, see Table 3.
When the same option is specified multiple times, the value specified last is used.
options
Parameters that are passed to the server as part of a request. The required and optional
parameters depend on the command requested. Each parameter is represented as a
combination of a parameter name and a parameter value, such as parameter-name
= parameter-value. The parameter name is not case sensitive. If you want to specify
a value that includes spaces, enclose the value in double quotation marks ("), as in
hostmode="Windows Extension, Solaris Extension".
Unless otherwise noted in parameter descriptions, parameter values are case sensitive.
There are required parameters and optional parameters. If you omit a required
parameter, you cannot execute the command.
When the same parameter is specified multiple times, the value specified last is used.
Some parameters cannot be used for some commands. For usable parameters, see
Chapter 4 on page 43.

You must have your user ID registered in Device
Manager before using the Device Manager CLI.
Required

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 403.
