CLI requirements

Verify the requirements for running the command-line interpreter and for using the command-line interface.

• Verify that the installer checks for and installs the correct version of Java™, and configures the CLI to use the installed Java.
• Verify that IBM Spectrum® Control is installed and running, and that storage devices are discovered.
• Verify that the CLI is connected to a IBM Spectrum Control Device server before you use all commands. The encrypt command is the only exception that does not require the connection.
• Verify that you have a valid user ID, password, and URL before you use all commands, except for the encrypt command.
