Migrating nodes from HP SUM 5.x to HP SUM 6.x

HP provides scripts that migrate the targets you added to HP SUM 5.x into nodes that HP SUM 6.x recognizes. If you want to edit the targets that you migrate to HP SUM 6.x, use the /script parameter. This generates a file that you can edit with a text editor application.


[NOTE: ]

NOTE: The migration script does not support sudo credentials.


To migrate nodes to HP SUM 6.x:

  1. Navigate to the directory that holds HP SUM.

  2. Double-click port_targets.bat (Windows) or port_targets.sh (Linux).

You can also run the scripts from the command line.

Script syntax:

port_targets.bat [/y] [/h] [/script] [/user {username} /password {password}

The script supports the following options:

Option

Definition

/y

Continue the migration without using prompts.

/h

Print the script help.

/script

This option creates a file with the migration commands, it does not run the script. You can edit the script commands manually before migrating the targets.


[NOTE: ]

NOTE: Use this option to select the targets you migrate, or edit the user credentials for an individual target.


/user {username} /password {password}

This options sets a default username and password credentials for each node that HP SUM migrates. If you do not use this option, each node is given the following credentials:

  • user=username

  • password=passwd
