About the Device Manager CLI execution environment

The Device Manager CLI must be executed on a management client or management server.

• Management client

A computer on which HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition products are used via a GUI or

CLI.

To execute the Device Manager CLI on a management client, download the necessary file from

the GUI, and then install the file.

• Management server

A computer on which an HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition product server is installed.

A management server is a computer that integrates and manages storage systems and host com-

puters.

To execute the Device Manager CLI on the management server, download the necessary file from

the GUI, and then install the file.

To execute the Device Manager CLI, you need to set up an appropriate Java environment by using

a version of JRE that the Device Manager CLI supports. You can also use the JRE that is included in

the HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition product stored on the management server.
