Examples

OOB

[SAA_HOME]# ./saa -i 192.168.34.56 -u ADMIN -p PASSWORD -c GetSystemCfg --file SystemCfg.xml --overwrite

[SAA_HOME]# ./saa -i 192.168.34.56 -u ADMIN -p PASSWORD -c GetSystemCfg --file SystemCfg.xml --download --dev_id A1_1

[SAA_HOME]# ./saa -i 192.168.34.56 -u ADMIN -p PASSWORD -c GetSystemCfg --file SystemCfg_Cache.xml --download --file_id 2

Multiple Systems OOB

[SAA_HOME]# ./saa -l SList.txt -u ADMIN -p PASSWORD -c GetSystemCfg --file SystemCfg.xml --overwrite

SList.txt:

192.168.34.56
192.168.34.57

If the Status field of a managed system (e.g. 192.168.34.56) shows SUCCESS, its current settings are stored in its output file, e.g. SystemCfg.xml.192.168.34.56. The --overwrite option forces an existing file of the same name to be overwritten.

Notes

  • The tables/elements from the managed systems might not be identical; only tables/elements supported by the managed system are accessed.
  • A configuration file in XML can be downloaded from the CMM via the --download option. This feature is only supported by the 64MB CMM AST2400.
