Pnimp - Cisco MARS Install And Setup Manual

Appendix A Command Reference

pnimp

From the pnimp command prompt, you can access time required for a data import, review the size of
the event data set on the NFS server, start and stop the import of configuration data or event data, and
check the status of an ongoing import. To access the pnimp command prompt, use the pnimp command
at the pnadmin prompt:

Usage Guidelines Use the pnimp command to import configuration and event data generated from a MARS Appliance
running 4.x into a MARS Appliance running 5.x software. The import operation does not affect event
processing; in other words, the received events are processed upon arrival. However, it does affect the
web interface and the query and report features may experience long delays and missing event or session
data.

Modification
This command was introduced in the Local Controller and
Global Controller 5.x train
Displays a list of valid subcommands.
Quit and exit the pnimp command. Return to the pnadmin command
prompt.
Display the status of the current data import operation.
Show all or recent data import log entries.
Show how much data exists in the specified NFS path.
Displays the number of devices, reports, and rules in the migration data set.
This command should be used as a point of comparison after the
configuration is imported into the target appliance. Compare with the output
of the pnexp config command.
Stop the data import operations.
Estimates how much time is required to import the event, report, statistics,
and incident data found at the specified NFS path. The MM/DD/YY
parameter restricts the estimate to data generated on or after that date.
Note
Import MARS configuration data ({config}), or
events/reports/statistics/incident data ({data}) from the specified NFS path
({nfs_path}). The last argument ([MM/DD/YY]) is required for importing
events/reports/statistics/incident data, meaning only importing data
received or computed on or after that date. For importing config data, the
latest MARS configuration data found under nfs_path is used.
The nfs_path value identifies the exported archive folder on the NFS server;
this path was dispayed when you ran the pnexp export command.
Note
This command does not estimate the time required to import
configuration data.
You must first import the corresponding configuration data before
attempting to import the event, report, statistics, incident data for
reporting devices.
