Manual

The following command buttons are included with the CDM:
• Open File
Enables users to load a previously saved XML file to update the Custom Data section.
• Save File
Enables users to save enumerated HP server data to an XML file. Microsoft Excel can be used
to edit the saved XML file to be loaded back to the CDM tool to update the Custom Data
section.
NOTE: The saved file must be saved as XML data, not an XML spreadsheet.

retrieve current HP server information.

Recommended Set provides the HP recommended default set of names.
