Preparing for Using the Export Tool

This section explains how to prepare for using the Export Tool.

Requirements for Using the Export Tool

The following components are required to use the Export Tool:

A Windows computer or a UNIX computer
The Export Tool runs on Windows computers and UNIX computers that can run Remote Web
Console. If your Windows or UNIX computer is unable to run Remote Web Console, your computer
is unable to run the Export Tool. For detailed information about computers that can run Remote
Web Console, see HP StorageWorks XP24000/XP20000 Remote Web Console User Guide.

Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
To use the Export Tool, you must install Java Runtime Environment on your Windows or UNIX
computer. If your computer runs Remote Web Console, JRE is already installed on your computer
and you can install the Export Tool. If your computer does not run Remote Web Console but contains
an appropriate version of JRE, you can install the Export Tool on your computer.
The JRE version required for running the Export Tool is the same as the JRE version required for
running Remote Web Console. For detailed information about the JRE version required for running
Remote Web Console, see HP StorageWorks XP24000/XP20000 Remote Web Console User
Guide
.

A user ID exclusively for use with the Export Tool
To use the Export Tool, you must create a user ID that will be used exclusively with the Export Tool.
When you create the user ID, note the following:
• Permissions of storage system programs

If you use the Export Tool only to save the monitoring data into files, do not assign any permis-
sion to the user ID for use with the Export Tool. If a user ID having permission is used with the
Export Tool, the storage system configuration might be changed in an unfavorable way by an
unidentified user.
If you use the Export Tool not only to save monitoring data but also to start or stop monitoring
and to change the gathering interval by the set command, the user ID needs to have at least
one of permissions for Performance Monitor, XP Continuous Access, TrueCopy for Mainframe,
XP Continuous Access Journal, and Universal Replicator for Mainframe.

• User types

You can specify any user type for the user ID for use with the Export Tool.
