HP XP7 Tiered Storage Manager CLI Reference Guide (TK985-96002, May 2014)

6 CLI property files
This chapter describes how to specify options and parameters by using the CLI property files. It also
explains the properties pertaining to the CLI trace log.
Overview of property files for the CLI
There are two property files for the CLI.
• Properties pertaining to CLI options and parameters are in the htsmcli.properties file
• Properties pertaining to the CLI trace log are in the htsmclienv.properties file
By default, the files htsmcli.properties and htsmclienv.properties are 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-HP-XP7-Command-View-Advanced-Edition\Tiered-
StorageManager\CLI\
If the OS is Linux:
installation-directory-of-HP-XP7-Command-View-Advanced-Edition/
TieredStorageManager/CLI/
The htsmcli.properties file is a sample property file that has example property settings coded
in the file as comment lines. You can specify properties by using these examples. You can store the
edited htsmcli.properties file in any directory, and then specify that directory 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 does not 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.
