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 Remote Web Console User’s 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.

Note:

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 Remote Web Console User’s

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

permission 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 subcommand, the user ID needs to have

at least one of permissions for Performance Monitor, Continuous Access, TrueCopy for

Mainframe, 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.

If you specify storage administrator for the user ID, all the monitoring data described from

Table 11

on page 74 to

Table 26

on page 87 can be saved into files.

If you specify storage partition administrator for the user ID, the monitoring data

that can be saved and the functions of the Export Tool are limited. For details, see

Export Tool Limitations

” on page 27.

For detailed information about how to create a user ID, see HP StorageWorks XP24000 Remote

Web Console User’s Guide.
