HP P9000 Tiered Storage Manager Software 7.4.1-00 CLI Reference Guide (TB585-96029, April 2013)

2 Preparations for executing the CLI
This chapter explains the preparations to perform before starting to use the CLI. More specifically,
this chapter explains how to set up the CLI and an environment for the CLI.
Setting up the CLI
You can operate the CLI on either a management server or a management client. This section describes
how to set up the CLI on a management client.
If you want to execute commands on a management server, you do not need to set up the CLI, because
it is set up when Tiered Storage Manager software is installed on a management server.
Setting up the CLI in a Windows system
This section describes how to set up the CLI if the management client OS is Windows.
Before starting the setup, make sure that the following conditions are satisfied:
• JRE must be installed.
• At least 100 MB of unused capacity exist on the drive that the OS is installed on.
• The environment allows .zip files to be unzipped.
• You are logged on as a user who has Administrator permissions for the system drive and for whom
the following accesses are allowed:
- Creating files and writing data
- Creating folders and adding data
To set up the CLI:
1. Log on to the management client as a user who is a member of the Administrators group.
2. Use FTP or external storage media to transfer the setup file from the Tiered Storage Manager
software management server to the management client.
You can transfer the setup file to any location.
The CLI setup file is stored in the following folder or directory on the management server:
If the management server OS is Windows:
installation-folder-of-the-Tiered-Storage-Manager-server\Dist\
If the management server OS is Linux:
installation-directory-of-the-Tiered-Storage-Manager-server/Dist/
The format of the setup file name is shown below.
TSM<version-number>-<revision-number>_E<build-number>_WIN_CLI.zip
3. Unzip the transferred setup file to the Windows system drive.
After the setup file is unzipped, several files will be stored on the system drive, such as the property
files and the setup, uninstallation, and CLI execution batch files.
