HP Insight Management 7.3 DMT White Paper

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-

import directory on the source CMS.

-p—Optional. Enables the password to be passed in on the command line for non-interactive

operations such as a script. This must be the same password that was used to encrypt the

exported file. If –p is not specified, the user is prompted to enter the password. HP recommends

not specifying –p on the command line for greater security.

-e—Optional. Specifies a different directory for extracting the imported zip file. The default

directory for extracting is <SIM Install Path>\data\configdata-import on the

target CMS. This option is not supported with clusters with remote

database.

Note: If –e option is used for extracting the zip file to a user specified directory, then give necessary permissions so that

the user specified directory is accessible from a remote database.

Parameters applicable only for cluster CMS

–v—Mandatory. Used to specify the cluster IP, also known as the MSCS cluster virtual server IP

address of 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.

–h—Mandatory. Used to specify the FQDN of source HP SIM virtual network name.

–t— Mandatory. Used to specify the FQDN of target HP SIM virtual network name.

Parameters applicable only for target cluster CMS with remote database

-r—Mandatory. Used to specify the cluster CMS has a remote database server.

Note: Cluster Name/Host Name must be a fully qualified host name.

The MSCS cluster virtual server IP must be a valid IPv4 address only.

If cluster has IPv6 address, and also if you need CMS node discovered with IPv6 address, then

follow below steps after migration

1. Update “ClusterIp” property with both the addresses in globalsettings.props file

separated by comma.

2. Restart HP-SIM services.

For example:

ClusterIp=192.168.154.54, 2003:: 22

Cluster CMS example

mximport -f <filename> -p <password> -v <Cluster CMS IP> -n

<Cluster CMS Name> -h <Source HP SIM Virtual Network Name> -t
