Table 3-4 LSMUTIL options (continued)
DescriptionOption
Exports storage pool entries into an XML file. You must specify an output
filename.
> filename
-- exportSPE
Reads from computeActuals.xml the inventory of compute resources
(servers, blades, hypervisors, and so on) and any annotations (local disk
information) that you created or modified.
-- importAnnotations
Writes to computeActuals.xml the inventory of compute resources (servers,
blades, hypervisors, and so on) and the current, if any, annotations (local disk
information).
By saving the XML to a file, adding or editing the local disk information, and
importing the file using --importAnnotations, you can create or modify
information about local disks that is otherwise undiscoverable by Insight
Dynamics.
-- exportAnnotations
Displays the current version of the logical servers tables in the VSE database
to standard output.
