5 Using Spreadsheets for LUSE Operations
To use LUSE functions, use spreadsheets instead of the Remote Web Console GUI. For example,
to create or release many LUSE volumes at a time, using the spreadsheets shortens the operation
time compared to when using the GUI. You can import the spreadsheets directly to the storage
system using the CFL Extension.
Figure 13 (page 31) describes the workflow when you use spreadsheets.
Figure 13 Workflow for Using Spreadsheets
This chapter describes the operation that is surrounded by the thick lines in “Workflow for Using
Spreadsheets” (page 31) . For detailed information about the other operations, see the HP
StorageWorks XP24000/XP20000 Remote Web Console User Guide.
If there are errors in a spreadsheet, all the errors may not be detected during verifying the
spreadsheet. In this case, errors may occur during applying the configurations.

Before Using Spreadsheets
Remote Web Console is required to use spreadsheets. In addition, you must use the CFL Extension
(not the Configuration File Loader window) when you perform operations on spreadsheets.
Spreadsheets must be written in the following format. Multiple operation tags and parameters can
be written in a spreadsheet.
