4 To modify or create the setup database
(optional)

The Demo Mode program comes with a default setup database that represents a typical HP storage
environment. It is also possible to modify the setup database or build a new one from scratch.

The setup database is created or modified by using the

dbinit.exe

command line utility. This utility

accepts commands that create or delete components (back-end LU, HBA, hosts, VSM, and DPM).
Instead of typing one command line for each component, there is an option to have a text file with
all the commands. Run

dbinit.exe

and accept the text file with all the commands listed inside. For

a detailed description on using the

dbinit.exe

command, see

How to use DBINIT

” on page 27.
