4.3.6 Offline transition using the command-line interface
Perform the following steps to perform an offline transition using the
command-line interface:
1. Execute the following expdata command on the HMC:
expdata -f <file>
2. Execute the impdata command using the following option in the SDMC:
smcli impdata -f file
Where file is the name of the file containing the HMC configuration data
imported from your HMC in step 1.
This command carries out a discovery process of the managed systems that
are eligible for transition from your HMC. The managed systems are
discovered by the SDMC and will be in the No Access state.
3. Request access to the managed systems using the accesssys command:
smcli accesssys <managed system name>
Enter the user ID and password for the managed system when prompted.
After successful authentication, you can start managing the system. The Virtual
Servers hosted by the managed system are retrieved automatically.
