68 IBM Systems Director Management Console: Introduction and Overview
After successful authentication, the Access state of the managed system
changes to OK. The tasks for managing the system are now available in the
context menu of the system. The Virtual Servers hosted by the managed system
are retrieved automatically and can be seen in the Welcome page or the
Navigate Resources page.
4.3.4 Interactive transition using the command-line interface
Perform the following steps to perform an online transition using the
command-line interface:
1. Execute the impdata command using the following options on the SDMC:
smcli impdata -h <system_name> -u <user>
Where:
system_name The host name or IP address of the remote HMC from
which to import configuration data
user The name of the remote HMC
2. Enter the name of the remote HMC user.
3. Enter the password for the name of the remote HMC user when prompted.
SDMC identifies the managed systems to transition and discovers them.
4. The transitioned systems are in the No Access state. You can request access
to the managed systems using the accesssys command.
After successful authentication, you can start managing the system with the
tasks available on the context menu of the system, and the Virtual Servers
hosted by the managed system are retrieved automatically.
4.3.5 Offline transition using the graphical user interface
Perform the following steps to perform an offline transition using the graphical
user interface:
1. Execute the expdata command using the following option on the HMC:
expdata -f <file>
Where file is the name of the file where the HMC configuration data is written
on the HMC. If the file is not fully qualified, it will be written to the
/dump/expdata directory on the HMC.
If the file already exists, this command will fail unless the --force option is
specified. To export the data to removable media, the media must be present
in the removable media device and the device must be mounted with the
mount command before you issue this command.
