Operation tags have the following characteristics:

At least one program-product-specific operation tag is required in a spreadsheet.

Common operation tags must be written before program-product-specific operation tags are
written.

An error occurs if program-product-specific operation tags are written before common operation
tags.

Some combinations of operation tags cannot be used in the same spreadsheet.

In this case, you need to prepare multiple spreadsheets. For details, see the documentation
for program products that support CFL Extension.

Parameters

You can specify the configuration of the storage system as a parameter. Each parameter must be
separated with a comma (,). A semicolon (;) is required at the end of the line where a parameter
is written. A comma is required as separator before the semicolon.

An example of writing a parameter follows:

[SerialNumber}
65536,;

Parameters might be written in a hierarchy structure for a certain program product. The identifier
(+) is required at the beginning of a line, and must appear in the following order:

1.

+

2.

+,+

3.

+,+,+

The actual parameters depend on the program products. For detailed information about parameters,
see the documentation for program products that support CFL Extension.

Comments

You can also type comments in a spreadsheet. Comments can consist of any characters in any
language.

The line beginning with the # character, or including only a linefeed code, is recognized as a
comment. Do not insert a space or character before the # character.

Common Operation Tags

Operation tags are divided into two types: common operation tags for all program products and
program-product-specific operation tags. For program-product-specific operation tags, see the
documentation for program products that support CFL Extension.

SerialNumber Tag

The SerialNumber tag, which is a common operation tag, allows you to verify that the serial number
in the spreadsheet matches the serial number of the storage system. HP recommends that you write
the SerialNumber tag to prevent possible misuses of spreadsheets.
