Spreadsheet Components
The spreadsheet consists of the following components:
• Spreadsheet Declaration (see “ Spreadsheet Declaration ” on page 87)
• Function tags (see “ Function Tags ” on page 87)
• Configuration definitions (see “ Configuration Definitions ” on page 88)
• Comments (see “ Comments ” on page 89)
Spreadsheet Declaration
The spreadsheet declaration is required, and is written at the beginning of the spreadsheet. Certain parts
of the declaration will have already been written in the exported current spreadsheet. If the declaration
line is incorrect, an error occurs and the spreadsheet file will be rejected.
Note: The spreadsheet declaration line is not case-sensitive.
• Format (variables are shown in italics):
#!Version Version number,Program Product,Process mode
• Example:
#!Version 05_00_00,LUN,Change
Table 10 on page 87 describes the spreadsheet declaration components.

Component Description
#! Indicates the declaration line. Cannot be changed.
Version

follows. Cannot be changed.
(One byte space) Required between the version and the version number.
Version number RMI version number.
, (comma with no spaces) Follows the RMI version number
Program Product Indicates the required program product. LUN indicates LUN Manager.
, (comma with no spaces) Follows the program product
Process mode
Indicates the required process mode. The only mode that is currently
available is Change, which indicates adding, changing, or deleting.
When the downloaded spreadsheet file is opened, the process mode
is not yet stated.
Function Tags
Before you write the settings, you need to state the function of the parameter. This is called a function tag,
which is formatted as a string in brackets ([ ]). The type and order of the function tag are determined by
the program product. Function tags have the following characteristics:
• At least one function tag is required in a spreadsheet.
• The function tag must be written at the very beginning of the row.
• If a function tag is already on the current spreadsheet and does not need to be changed, it must
be deleted from the new spreadsheet so it is not processed. If the function tag remains in the
spreadsheet, and no new settings for the tag are written, the settings are processed as deleted.
[CHA], [Port] and [LDEV] tags do not support a delete operation, so if no new setting is written
for these functions an error occurs.
• Any other comments and settings written in the same row as the function tag are ignored.
