5-7-6 Launching a Third-Party Application
When third-party software applies to a specific array, Device Manager provides a URLLink that allows you to
link and launch from the physical view dialog box and Show Properties - Subsystem Name subwindow to a
URL specific to the storage subsystem. Only system administrators and storage administrators can use
URLLink. For details, refer to the HP StorageWorks Command View XP Advanced Edition Device Manager CLI
User Guide. Specifically refer to the AddURLLink, GetURLLink, and DeleteURLLink API commands to
obtain a better understanding of this function.
NOTE:
URLs that you set using URLLink are displayed in the HTML source code.
