HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software 7.2 CLI Reference Guide

If you execute a command other than the Help function by specifying a login user ID but not
specifying the login password for the option or property, a message appears prompting you to
enter the login password.

If you specify csv with the -f (or --format) option as one of the parameters for the GetStor-
ageArray command, there are some parameters that you cannot specify. For details about the
parameters that you cannot specify when -f csv is specified, see “Outputting execution results
in CSV format” on page 383.
The parameters that form the input to a command are specified from the command line as name/value
pairs. The parameter name is specified first, then the equal sign and the parameter value, as follows:
ipaddress=192.168.2.2
Whenever a parameter value requires one or more space characters, double quotes can be used to
enclose the parameter value, as follows:
description="Our Newest Array"
Each command might have required parameters, optional parameters, or both, and you can specify
any parameter in the application's properties file. If a parameter is specified both from the command
line and in the properties file, the value from the command line is used.
