XML support, XML output | HP Smart Storage Adstrator specification

during initial configuration of the array controller. The command values are Enable or Disable, in reference to whether encrypted forms are enabled. The default form is encrypted, or enabled.

XML support

HP SSA scripting supports an XML file format for input and output.

XML output

To create an XML output document, use an XML suffix with the output file name:

C:\hpssascripting -c out.xml

The following text is an example XML output file.

<?xml version="1.0"?> <Config.document>
