Unix activities can be executed in 2 different ways: via Windows Execution Agents or via Linux Execution Agents.

Using Windows Execution Agents:

the Connection variable is mandatory and it is the output of a Connect To HP 3Par activity.

Using Linux Execution Agents:

the Connection variable is not mandatory. Activities will be executed on the selected Linux agent and the results will be retrieved for the Linux machine where the execution agent is.

IMPORTANT! For 3PAR servers, the only execution option is the first one, by using the output of a Connect To HP 3Par activity.
