HP XP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software 7.6.0-00 CLI Reference Guide

DescriptionStatus
Argument
for the op-
tion
Option
The Device Manager server login password or the path to the
password file that contains the login password
#1, #2, #3
A password can either be specified directly, or a file
containing a password can be specified. The application user
needs to have access permissions for the password file. Do
not grant access permissions to common users for the password
file.
When specifying the password file, include an @ sign at the
beginning of the path. The text on the first line of the specified
file is read and used as the password.
HP recommends that you set an encoded character string
rather than plain text for the password file.
