Script conversion

Scripts created with previous versions of the NCU are supported; however, HP recommends that you
recreate the script using the latest version of the NCU.

Scripting application (CQNICCMD)

CQNICCMD is a Windows utility that processes a network adapter configuration script file to duplicate
the adapter teaming configuration of a source ProLiant BL/ML/DL server on a target server.
This utility is supported on the following Windows operating systems:
•
Windows Server 2008 SP2
•
Windows Server 2008 R2
•
Windows Server 2008
•
Windows Server 2008 x64
•
Windows Server 2003
•
Windows Server 2003 x64
Run the utility from the command line in a Command Prompt window, from the Run option on the
Windows Start menu, or from a Windows command file. To execute the CQNICCMD utility from the
command line, the HP Network Configuration Utility (NCU) must be closed.
HP recommends that you use this application as part of the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit (SSST)
deployment. However, the application can be used outside of this environment. Follow these steps when
