HP StorageWorks Storage System Scripting Utility reference (September 2005)

NOTE:

When a controller pair has been password-protected and the password has not been added in HP

Command View EVA, the utility commands will display:

Error: API unable to get the lock

NOTE:

In when you are using the utility, you can not move objects between folders.

NOTE:

In rare instances, the utility loses communication with HP StorageWorks Command View EVA and reports

that i t is down, stopped, or restarting even though it is possible to browse to HP StorageWorks Command

View EVA. T o ﬁxthis,restartHPStorageWorksCommandViewEVA.

NOTE:

On the HSV200 controllers only, the fabric port names in the output from the HP EVAPerf CLI’s ps

command are reversed. FP1 should be FP2 and vice versa, for both controllers.

NOTE:

You may experience a condition where the symptom is a No Object Found errororaNeither

Success or Failure err or.

To resolve this:

• Wait a few second s and the problem may resolve itself.

• Close all of your open browser windows, including the HP StorageWorks Command View EVA

windows. The utility does not need to be restarted. If the problem persists after these steps, restart

HP StorageWorks Command View EVA v4.0.

Getting started

To get started using the utility, follow these steps:

1. Select an HP Command View EVA instance (or server) using the SELECT MANAGER command.

Use the SELECT MANAGER command to direct the command prompt to a speciﬁed server. All

conﬁguration commands run on the selected array and affect the array's conﬁguration. The

<manager_name> can b e a server or an IP a ddress. You can also use localhost if you are

logged directly on the management server. Unless the storage administrator has changed the

password, the default password is “a dministrator” and the default user is “administrator”.

Syntax (to select the HP Command View EVA instance — or server):

SELECT MANAGER <manager_name> USERNAME=<username> PASSWORD=<pass-

word>

2. View available arrays using the LS SYSTEM command Syntax: LS SYSTEM

3. Select an array to manage using the S ELECT SYSTEM command Syntax: SELECT SYSTEM

<system_name>
