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

These files are in the same format as Java properties files. Properties can be updated using a text
editor. Each property has a name and a value, separated by an equal sign, such as foo.bar=12345.
Each property is separated by a line-break, which is different for each OS.
In the properties files for the CLI, any lines that start with hash marks (#) are treated as comments.
Literal strings or numbers do not need to be enclosed in quotation marks.
In Java properties files, the backslash character (\) is a reserved escape character, and any character
following it is treated as a tab, line-feed, or other control character. Since absolute path names on
Windows platform generally contain backslashes, the path name must be preceded by another
backslash. For example, the file path name c:\TieredStorageManager\docroot\foo.bar
must be entered as c:\\TieredStorageManager\\docroot\\foo.bar. For property
specifications, other characters do not generally need to be preceded by an escape character.
The following table lists the properties for the CLI.
