When you specify the saved file that contains the preceding message, you can create multiple LUNs

using one command, as follows:

hdvmcli -t -i xmlcommand.txt

Using the message trace file

When message tracing is turned on, each execution of the application writes over the message tracing

file with the request and response of that execution, so that file never has more than one request and

one response.

The request and the response are identified by labels. Each label includes a timestamp. The request

also includes the HTTP header values set by the application. The request is the same string that is sent

via HTTP to the server. The response is the string read from the Device Manager server via HTTP,

before any parsing. Therefore, even if the application cannot make sense of the response (or does

not handle the response correctly) the message trace contains a record of the response.

Following is an example of downloading the CLI from the Device Manager server to the PC, and using

the message trace log file to create XML files:

1. Follow the instructions in “Downloading the Device Manager CLI” on page 18 to download a

copy of the CLI to the PC.

2. On the PC, extract the downloaded files to C:\hdvm.

3. Change the directory to hdvm:

cd hdvm

4. Edit the hdvmcli.properties file to enable message trace. In the following example,

"messagetrace=true" in order to view the XML in the message trace log file:

C:\hdvm>type hdvmcli.properties

hdvmcli.serverurl=http://193.36.40.55:2001/service

user=system

password=manager

messagetrace=true

5. Copy hdvmcli.CLI.bat do.bat so that instead of always typing hdvmcli then the command,

you only type do then the command.
