RE: [NV-L] SmartSets Dilemma!!!

["Evans, Bill" <Bill.Evans@hq.doe.gov>]

Been there.  Done that.  The "nvUtil -G >temp.file" command will list all your SmartSets in a file and I presume that "smartsetutil -G" will do that as well.  It only takes a little editing and you can then execute the result as a shell script which uses the "nvUtil a" command to add them to the new system. 

 

The result of the query "smartsetutil g temp" :

   SmartSet: Temp
        Description: descriptive text
        Rule: isRouter=TRUE

becomes this to create the new one:

nvUtil a Temp "descriptive text" "isRouter=TRUE"

Repeat for each group in the "G" output file.  Forgive any errors in syntax on the smartsetutil side; I haven't worked with the Windows version for a couple years.

Usman,

As far as I know, you can export the smartset's rules 
on Windows using the smartsetutil -g <smartset name> and then import them 
on Linux using nvUtil -a <smartset name> <smartset description> 
"<smartset rule>" 
I do not know a way to import/export all of them at 
once, but I hope this helps.

Best regards,
Marcelo Zacchi

Hi List,

 

We recently migrated from NV 7.1.4 (Windows) to NV 7.1.5 (Linux), took a backup of entire 'usr' folder, but later decided not restore to linux but to do a rediscovery. Rediscovery was done smoothly had some issues migrating the DNS to BIND as well but its resolved. Now the problem is we had a lot of smartsets maintained on the Windows enviornment, how do we migrate those to Linux? We have a backup which we took using the smartsetmaint/smartutil scripts. Is there a way to restore the smartsets using the backup.

 

Thanks in advance
