Questions about the CLI Migration Tool

Does "cmt" communicate with the Command View server?

No, "cmt" is a standalone application/tool. It is not part of the Command View XP portfolio.

Does "cmt" communicate with the Command View AE server and submit translated commands?

No, "cmt" does not talk to Command View AE. "cmt" only translates the command file and generates the
output file containing equivalent Command View AE CLI commands.

Does "cmt" communicate with the array SVP?

No, "cmt" does not talk to the SVP.

Does "cmdct" communicate with the Command View server?

No, "cmdct" is a standalone application/tool. It is not part of Command View XP portfolio.

Does "cmdct" communicate with Command View AE to collect data?

No.

Does "cmdct" communicate with the array SVP?

Yes, "cmdct" talks to the SVP and gathers the required data through SNMP/RMI.

How do I find out if data collection from the array is required?

There are two ways of doing this:
•
You can view the Command View CLI command file and find out if it contains any of the commands (or
its options) shown in
unnecessary and you can proceed with using the migration tool. Otherwise, data collection is
necessary before using the migration tool.
• You can use the migration tool and then view the output. If the output file contains errors related to the
data portion of the commands, the errors will be prefixed with specific strings such as "***", followed
by predefined error codes. Depending on these error codes, you can decide if data collection is
necessary. If it is, the migration tool can be used again after data collection.
What will happen if data collection was needed before command file migration but was not
done because the array was unavailable or due to some other reason?
The CLI Migration Tool can still be used to translate the Command View CLI command file but the
completeness of the translation will be very low. In such cases, the resultant Command View AE CLI file
needs manual editing before submitting it to the Command View AE server.
