    Hitachi Device Manager IP address

    2001

    Default port number allocated to this server

  3. Copy and paste the following XML request into the Server Administration Service API window and click Submit.

       <?xml version="1.0"?>
       <HiCommandServerMessage>
       <APIInfo version="7.2"/>
       <Request>
       <SecurityAdmin>
       <Get target="User">
       <User>
       </User>
       </Get>
       </SecurityAdmin>
       </Request>
    </HiCommandServerMessage>
