HP StorageWorks P9000 Tiered Storage Manager Software 7.1 CLI Reference Guide (TB585-96011, May 2011)

6 CLI properties files
This chapter describes how to specify options and parameters using the CLI properties files. It also
explains the properties pertaining to the CLI trace log.
Overview of properties files for the CLI
There are two kinds of properties files for the CLI.
• Properties pertaining to options and parameters for the CLI are in the htsmcli.properties
file
• Properties pertaining to the trace log for the CLI are in the htsmclienv.properties file
By default, the files htsmcli.properties and htsmclienv.properties are stored in the
following locations:
On a management client:
If the OS is Windows:
system-drive\TieredStorageManager\Tiered-Storage-Manager-version\
CLI\
If the OS is Solaris, HP-UX, or Linux:
/opt/TieredStorageManager/Tiered-Storage-Manager-version/CLI/
On a management server:
If the OS is Windows:
installation-folder-of-the-Tiered-Storage-Manager-server\CLI\
If the OS is Linux:
installation-directory-of-the-Tiered-Storage-Manager-server/CLI/
The htsmcli.properties file is a sample properties file and examples of property settings are
coded in the file as comment lines. By using these examples, you can specify a property to be used.
You can store the edited htsmcli.properties file in any directory. The directory in which the
htsmcli.properties file is saved should be specified in the HTSM_CLI_HOME environment
variable.
NOTE:
The HTSM_CLI_HOME environment variable is used to notify the CLI of the location of the
htsmcli.properties file to be used. If the directory where the htsmcli.properties file is
stored is not specified for HTSM_CLI_HOME, Tiered Storage Manager software cannot use the
htsmcli.properties file.
The default values for each property have been set in the htsmclienv.properties file. You cannot
change the storage location of the htsmclienv.properties file.
