Parameter file generation of Management Host Information

You can use the command below to generate a parameter file (definition file), which will be used by maniupdt.exe (command to batch register management host information), from registered management host information.

Management Host Information Parameter File Generation Command

manigen -f filename -i {fld[-h hostname]|hst[-f folder]|all} [-id ID]

Explanation of the parameters

-f filename

Specify the parameter file name. (Mandatory)

-i {fld|hst|all}

Specify the Management Host Information that is targeted for parameter file generation. (Mandatory)

fld:

Folder (The Destination Host Information in the subfolder is also targeted for parameter file generation.)

hst:

Destination Host Information

all:

Both the folder and the Destination Host Information will be targeted for parameter file generation.

-h hostname

Specify the host name of the Management Host Information that is targeted for parameter file generation. (Optional)

Specify this tag only when you set the target Management Host Information to Folder.

Specify the name in characters within 68 bytes.

You can use a wild card (*) to specify more than one host name.

The wild card can be used to specify either a prefix match or a suffix match.

-f folder

Specify the folder name of the Management Host Information that is targeted for parameter file generation. (Optional)

Specify this tag only when you set the target Management Host Information to Destination Host Information.

Specify the name within 24 characters.

You can use a wild card (*) to specify more than one folder.

The wild card can be used to specify either a prefix match or a suffix match.

-id ID

Remarks

• You can generate more than one parameter by repeating '-i {fld|hst} [-id ID].'

• If you use '-i fld -i hst' to specify a folder and a host at the same time, redundant Destination Host Information will be output.

• If you specify '-i all,' you cannot specify '-id ID.'
