Network Configuration Utility and Scripting

The HP Network Configuration Utility (NCU) enables configuration of network adapters and teams of
network adapters. The scripting feature of the utility provides the ability to perform adapter configuration
using a batch process.
This guide provides information about using the HP Network Adapter Scripting Utility to configure HP
adapters.

Scripting functionality

Scripting functionality provides the capability to configure a target system based on configuration
information saved from a source server. The target system is not required to be identical to the source
server. The configuration of the source server may not be duplicated in its entirety on the target system.
Both adapters and teams of adapters can be configured on the target system. When scripting is run, the
adapter properties specified in the data file from the source server are used to modify the configuration of
the adapters on the target system. Refer to "Preliminary scripting information (on page 5)" for details
about running the scripting utility.
