Preparing a Command File
To be able to run the Export Tool, you must write scripts for exporting
monitoring data. When writing scripts, you need to write several
subcommands in a command file. When you run the Export Tool, the
subcommands in the command file execute sequentially and then the
monitoring data are saved in files.
Figure 7-1 gives an example of a command file:
svpip 158.214.135.57
login expusr passwd
show
group PhyPG Long
group RemoteCopy
short-range 200610010850:200610010910
long-range 200609301430:200610011430
outpath out
option compress
apply
Figure 7-1
In the above scripts, the semicolon (;) indicates the beginning of a comment.
Characters from a semicolon to the end of the line are regarded as a comment.
The scripts in this command file are explained as follows:
•
svpip 158.214.135.57
This script specifies that you are logging into the SVP whose IP address is
158.214.135.57 . You must log into the SVP when using the Export Tool.
The svpip subcommand specifies the IP address of the SVP. You must
include the svpip subcommand in your command file. For detailed
information about the svpip subcommand, see svpip Subcommand.
