privileges, and should be the same user that installed the Insight Management on the source

CMS.

Note: If HP Infrastructure Orchestration uses a remote HP OO server, then modify the export utility configuration to avoid

HP OO migration.

Perform the following steps:

1. In the source CMS, open Windows Explorer.

2. Navigate to <SIM Install Path>\config\migration location.

3. Remove the HPIOP2.xml file from the <SIM Install

Path>\config\migration directory.

The export CLI syntax is:

mxexport [–f <filename>] [-p <password>]

The parameters are as follows:

-f—Optional. Specifies 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, you are 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 8 or more 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

Note: A file name with spaces is considered a valid file name, for example: my export.zip.

In this example, the compressed file is saved to the root directory of the C: drive and is called

export.zip. Because the password of somepassword was provided, future prompts for the

password are not seen.

1. Sign in to the source CMS with OS-level administrative privileges. Make sure this is the

same user that installed the Insight Management.

2. Open a command prompt:

a. Navigate to StartRun.

b. Type cmd, and then click OK. The command prompt window appears.
