Host Diagnostics CLI Commands
Host Diagnostics provides a CLI agent that allows you to perform tasks using the CLI. The Host Diagnostics Agent CLI is an administrative tool that you can use to register the host with a group and manage the HPE Storage Toolkit for Windows Host Diagnostics Collector Service if you encounter a problem and need to restart the service.
You run the Host Diagnostics Agent CLI commands on the Windows host. The hostdiag command is located at <InstallPath>\HPE Storage\Host Diagnostics. The commands have the following format:
hostdiag [comand]
For example, you could register a host with a group by entering:
hostdiag master add -i <group_IP> -u <admin_username> -p <admin_password>
- group_IP is the IP address of the group.
- admin_username is the username of a user who has Power User or above credentials.
- admin_password is the user's password.
