HP Systems Insight Manager 7.2 Command Line Interface Guide

• mxcollection -ln
This command lists all HP SIM collections in a hierarchical tree. This command does not list
collections that were added by attributes. Use mxquery -ln to list these collections.
• mxcollection -lf existcollname [-b encoding ]
This command writes a complete definition of the specified collection to stdout in XML format.
• mxcollection -mv existcollname -from fromparentcollname -to
toparentcollname [-branch sysbranch|evbranch ]
This command moves an existing collection from its current parent collection to another parent
collection. The -branch option lets you specify whether the new parent collection is in the
Systems or Events list in the System and Event Collections panel.
NOTE: You can move collections within the Systems list or the Events list, but you cannot
move collections from one list to another.
• mxcollection -cp existcollname -name newcollname -to toparentcollname
[-branch sysbranch|evbranch ]
This command copies an existing collection, renames it, and assigns it to an existing parent
collection. Use -branch to specify whether the parent collection is in the Systems or Events
list in the System and Event Collections panel.

-evcoll eventcollname -parent toparentcollname [- branch
sysbranch|evbranch ]
This command adds a new combination collection with the specified name, system collection
and event collection to an existing parent collection. You must specify an event collection that

is not specified, the default is the system branch.
