Appendix C: Quick reference of export/import commands
for Cluster CMS
Export parameters are the same as for non-cluster CMS setups.
Export:
The export command-line (CLI) command and syntax is:
mxexport [–f <filename>] [-p <password>]
Where the parameters are listed in the following:
-f—Optional. Can be used to specify a different filename or path for the export archive. The default
file name is Products.zip and is placed in the <SIM Install Path>\data\configdata-
export directory
-p—Optional. Enables the password to be passed in on the command line for non-interactive
operations such as a script. This is the password that will be used to encrypt the exported file,
Products.zip. If –p is not specified, the user is prompted to enter the password in a secure
fashion. HP recommends not specifying the password on the command line.
The password must meet the following requirements:
• It must be at least 8 characters long.
• It should be alphanumeric, but not be your domain password.
• It should not contain any special characters.
For example:
mxexport –f c:\export.zip –p somepassword
For more details refer to Step 9: Running the export utility on the source CMS.
Import
The import command-line (CLI) command and syntax is:
mximport [–f <filename>] [-p <password>][-v <cluster IP>][-n <cluster
name>]
–v—Mandatory. Used to specify the cluster IP, also known as the MSCS cluster virtual server IP
address of the target CMS.
–n—Mandatory. Used to specify the cluster name/host name, also known as the MSCS cluster virtual
server name of the target CMS. If cluster name/host name is not available, then pass cluster IP.
Example 1
The following CLI command is used for importing the data into Cluster CMS setup:
mximport -f<filename> –p <password> –v <cluster IP> -n <cluster name>
For more details, see Step 5: Running the import utility on the target CMS.
