5-3 Using the properties file to specify
parameters
Command parameters can be specified on the command line or in the properties file. When they are
specified in the properties file, you do not need to specify them on the command line.
•
If you specify parameters on the command line when they are also specified in the properties
file, the values of the parameters specified on the command line take precedence.
•
When you specify parameters in the properties file, use the format shown in the following
example:
serialnum=30057
model=XP512
NOTE:
In the properties file, specify only parameters that apply to a given command. If the file
contains a parameter that does not apply, the command may have unexpected results. For this
reason, do not specify parameters that can cause problems for other commands.
5-4 Setting up the Device Manager CLI execution
environment
This section describes how to set up the Device Manager CLI execution environment based on
Example of Properties File (in Windows).
5-4-1 Specifying the log file
The default file name of the log file used by Device Manager CLI is hdvmcli.log. This file is
created in the Device Manager CLI execution directory or folder. You can specify a default file
name, log output destination, log level, and so on. Specify the log output destination in the
hdvmcli.logfile
property in the properties file.
