Migrating nodes from HP SUM 5.x to HP SUM 6
HP provides scripts that migrate the targets you added to HP SUM 5.x into nodes that HP SUM 6
recognizes. If you want to edit the targets that you migrate to HP SUM 6, use the /script
parameter. This generates a file that you can edit with a text editor application.
NOTE: The migration script does not support sudo credentials.
To migrate nodes to HP SUM 6:
1. Navigate to the directory that holds HP SUM.
2. Double-click port_targets.bat (Windows) or port_targets.sh (Linux).
You can also run the scripts from the command line.
Script syntax:
port_targets.bat [/y] [/h] [/script] [/user {username} /password
{password}
