1 Installing the HP 3PAR Command Line Interface

The purpose of this chapter is to provide instructions for installing and uninstalling the HP 3PAR
Command Line Interface.

About the HP 3PAR Command Line Interface

Use the HP 3PAR Command Line Interface (CLI) to monitor, manage, and configure HP 3PAR
storage systems. See the HP 3PAR CLI installation readme file on the HP 3PAR CLI and SNMP CD.
All platforms use the same CD, but the installation files are different for each of the supported
platforms.

Supported Platforms

The HP 3PAR CLI is supported on HP-UX (with HP 3PAR OS 3.1.2 and later), Linux, Oracle Solaris
(Solaris), and Microsoft Windows operating systems. For a list of supported versions of each
operating system, see the Single Point of Connectivity Knowledge (SPOCK) website
www.hp.com/storage/spock.
NOTE: Update your operating system with all required and recommended patches or service
packs before installing the HP 3PAR CLI.

System Requirements

The HP 3PAR CLI uses port number 5783 for secure communications and port 5782 for unsecure
communications. If you intend to keep the HP 3PAR CLI connected to your system for an extended
period of time, you must configure your firewall to allow the CLI to remain connected when there
is no activity.
Before installing the HP 3PAR CLI on a remote computer, verify that the system meets the following
requirements:
1 GHz or higher processor.
Minimum of 256 MB RAM (1 GB recommended).
CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive (if installing from a CD-ROM).
Monitor with 1024 x 768 or better screen resolution.
