Appendix C: Quick reference of export/import commands for
Cluster CMS
Export parameters are same as for non-cluster CMS setups.
Export:
The export command-line (CLI) command and syntax is:
mxexport [–f <filename>] [-p password]
Where the parameters are listed in the following:
-f—Optional. Can be used to specify a different filename or path for the export archive. The default file name
is Products.zip and is placed in the <SIM Install Path>\data\configdata-export directory
-p—Optional. Enables the password to be passed in on the command line for non-interactive operations such
as a script. This is the password that will be used to encrypt the exported file, Products.zip. If –p is not
specified, the user is prompted to enter the password in a secure fashion. HP recommends not specifying the
password on the command line. The password must be at least 8 characters long and alphanumeric, but should
not be your domain password.
For example:
mxexport –f c:\export.zip –p somepassword
For more details refer to Running the export utility on the source CMS.
Import:
The import command-line (CLI) command and syntax is:
mximport [–f <filename>] [-p password][-v cluster ip][-n cluster name]
–v—Mandatory. Used to specify the Cluster IP also known as the MSCS cluster virtual server IP address of
the target CMS.
–n—Mandatory. Used to specify the Cluster Name/Host Name also known as Cluster name is the MSCS
cluster virtual server name of the target CMS. If Cluster Name/Host Name is not available then pass Cluster
IP.
Example 1:
The following CLI command is used for importing the data into Cluster CMS setup:
mximport -f<File Name> –p <password> –v <Cluster IP> -n <Cluster Name>
