HP Systems Insight Manager 7.0 Command Line Interface Guide

will start immediately, and the remaining targets will wait in the Pending state until earlier
targets finish execution.
• The agent has a limit of four simultaneous job executions. If four jobs are executing on a
target, and a new job is started that references that target, when the DTF contacts the agent
on that target to run the new job, it gets an agent busy exception. The DTF will continue
contacting any other referenced targets until the only ones remaining are those that are busy.
It then periodically contacts the busy agent until one of the executing jobs finishes and the
agent accepts the new job.
Options
-t toolname
Specify the name of the tool to execute. If the toolname contains embedded
spaces or other characters interpreted by the shell, enclose it in quotation marks.
-A argvalue [argvalue...]
Specify the arguments required for the intended tool execution. The values are
matched to the arguments by order: first specified to first argument, second specified
to second argument, and so on.
If an argument value contains embedded spaces or other characters interpreted by
the shell, enclose it in quotation marks.
Argument values are separated by spaces. When specifying argument values, enter
any necessary spaces. The CLI will not add additional spaces to those defined in
the tool definition or argument value.
If you do not want to specify a value for an optional argument, enter "" to indicate
a placeholder.
For security reasons Systems Insight Manager prohibits the following characters
from being entered as part of an argvalue: grave accents (`), semicolon (;),
ampersand (&), bar (|), left parenthesis ('('), hash mark (#), greater than sign (>),
less than sign (<), and the new line character.
-h
Suppress job information headers and send the job output directly to stdout or
stderr as appropriate. Exception information is sent to stderr.
-O filename
Save the stdout and stderr data produced by the tool execution to the file
filename . The file's pathname can be absolute or relative to the current directory.
If the file already exists, it will be replaced. If it does not exist, it will be created. If
the output file cannot be created in the given path, Systems Insight Manager tries
to write the file to the /var/tmp directory. If that fails, the output is sent to stdout.
-o directory
Save the stdout and stderr data produced by the tool execution, one
results file per target node, in the specified directory . The name of each results
file is in the format nodename.job_ID.
-n target [target...]
Specify the names of the managed nodes and node groups on which to execute
the tool. This list of nodes and node groups is called the target list. The targets are
separated by spaces, and node groups are identified by the g: prefix.
