host_conversion.pl
Procedure
1. Start the SpectroSERVER.
2. Navigate to:
SS-Tools/Convert_to_Host
3. Run the following command:
host_conversion.pl <SpectroSERVER host>
<landscape handle> [gnsnmpdev]
Note: If you run the script with the gnsnmpdev flag, it will
also convert any workstations modeled as a
GnSNMPDev. It may take a few minutes for the
script to run.
4. Check the Conv_HOST_Log_<DATE>_<TIME> file to confirm that all
models and model types have been converted.
If a model was not in contact when the script was running, it will not
be converted. Ensure that the devices are active on the system and
repeat step 3
and step 4 until you have confirmed that all models are
converted.
Troubleshooting
If the host_conversion.pl script does not run:
1. Ensure that you are a valid SPECTRUM user.
2. Navigate to:
<$SPECROOT>/vnmsh
3. Run the following command:
./connect <SpectroSERVER host>
4. Run the following command:
./disconnect <SpectroSERVER host>
Removing the Discontinued Model Types
After the older model types have been converted, you must remove the
older model types from your database. A file in the directory
SS-Tools/Convert_to_Host contains a white-space-separated list of
model type handles that have been discontinued.
