nmExport
Use this script to export customized data for the core components from a previous version of Network Manager.
The script creates a .pkg file containing discovery configuration data, network views, poll policies and definitions, other configuration files, and log files containing information about the successful export. If the export is unsuccessful, log files are saved to the /itnmExportLogs/ directory in your home directory.
Running the script
To run the script, go to the location on the source server where you extracted the export packageExportPackage.tar, change to the
scripts directory at that location, and use a command line similar to the
following:./nmExport -n netcool_location -o Location_of_packageCommand-line options
The following table describes the command-line options for the nmExport script.
