15 Working with scripting

Scripting in the SAN/iQ software through release 7.0 was accomplished by the
java.commandline.CommandLine scripting tool.
In SAN/iQ software release 8.0, the java.commandline.CommandLine scripting tool was
replaced by HP StorageWorks P4000 CLIQ, the HP P4000 Storage Solution command-line interface
(CLI). The CLI takes advantage of the new SAN/iQ API that provides comprehensive coverage of
SAN/iQ software functionality to support scripting, integration and automation.
The java.commandline.CommandLine scripting tool will be supported after the 8.0 release to
allow time for converting existing scripts that use java.commandline.CommandLine to the new
CLI syntax.

Scripting documentation

• The HP StorageWorks P4000 SAN/iQ Command-Line Interface User Guide is available from the
HP website, and it is installed with the CLI.
• A SAN/iQ 8.0 Readme is available that describes the changes from java.commandline.Com-
mandLine to the new CLI syntax.
• Sample scripts using the CLI are also available on the HP website.
