5-1 Overview of Properties for Tiered Storage Manager CLI
There are two kinds of properties for the Tiered Storage Manager CLI: those stored in the
htsmcli.properties file, and those stored in the htsmclienv.properties file.
• Properties pertaining to options and parameters for the Tiered Storage Manager CLI are stored in the
htsmcli.properties file.
• Properties pertaining to the trace log for the Tiered Storage Manager CLI are stored in the
htsmclienv.properties file.
When decompressing the CLI setup file into the following directory during installation of the Tiered Storage
Manager CLI on a Management client, the files htsmcli.properties and htsmclienv.properties are
revealed in this directory:
system-drive\TieredStorageManager\0110\CLI (in Windows)
/opt/TieredStorageManager/0110/CLI (in Solaris and HP-UX)
The revealed htsmcli.properties file contains comment lines which show sample property settings to use
as a guide. Based on this sample, a user can create a new htsmcli.properties file in a desired location.
The directory containing the htsmcli.properties file must be set to the environment variable
HTSM_CLI_HOME in advance.
NOTE: HTSM_CLI_HOME is an environment variable used for reporting, to the Tiered Storage Manager CLI,
the location of the htsmcli.properties file that is to be used. If you do not set the directory containing
the htsmcli.properties file to HTSM_CLI_HOME, Tiered Storage Manager will not use the
htsmcli.properties file.
The default values for each property have been set in the htsmclienv.properties file that is revealed
when the CLI setup file is decompressed. The htsmclienv.properties file must be located in the directory
containing the htsmCLI.jar file. The htsmCLI.jar file is revealed in the same directory where the
properties file was revealed when the CLI setup file was decompressed.
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 (for example, foo.bar=12345). Each property
is separated by the line-break character defined for the OS.
In the properties files for the Tiered Storage Manager CLI, any lines that start with the # character 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 the backslash is not treated as a normal character. Instead, the character following the backslash is
treated as a tab, line-feed, or other control character. Since absolute path names on Windows platforms
generally contain backslashes, the path name must be preceded by another backslash. For example, the file
path name c:\CVXPAE\docroot\foo.bar must be entered as c:\\CVXPAE\\docroot\\foo.bar. For
property specifications, other characters do not generally need to be preceded by an escape character.
