1 Overview
This chapter provides an overview of the Device Manager CLI. This chapter also explains the differences
between Device Manager licenses and provides a procedure for downloading the Device Manager
CLI from the Device Manager server.
Overview of the Device Manager CLI
By issuing commands from a command line prompt, the Device Manager CLI communicates with the
Device Manager server and issues requests to a storage system. This enables you to acquire
configuration information and change the settings of the storage system managed by HP StorageWorks
P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Software.
NOTE:
Device Manager can be used to reference information on mainframe volumes, but cannot be used to
configure the volumes.
The Device Manager CLI enables you to create a script that runs several commands in order, and
perform batch operation for the Device Manager server. Therefore, using the Device Manager CLI
allows efficient operation by the system administrator when setting large volumes of predetermined
content, such as when making initial settings for the storage system.
Notes regarding terms used in this manual
• host storage domain means host group.
• The terms shown in the following table are used for components related to the Thin Provisioning
functionality when Thin Provisioning (THP) and Smart Tiers are distinguished.
