NAME
ipmexport - Insight Control Power Management database to text conversion tool
SYNOPSIS
ipmexport
DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this tool is to convert the HPSIM database representation of data center topology by device,
rack, and row into a flat text representation. Because this tool requires the IPM database, it must be run from
an active HPSIM Central Management Server (CMS) node by a user with database read permission. This
tool writes to standard out and can be redirected to a file. After converting to this common text format, users
can edit the topology on any operating system. Users can then convert this text file to any supported format.
Frequently, output from this tool is used to make a spreadsheet lab notebook with all current data.
Note that large data centers can take several minutes to read. If the tool generates a time-out error, the CMS
may need more memory to hold all the objects. But the tool will print everything it had memory for.
RETURN VALUES
The ipmexport command returns exit status based on the success or failure of the operation.
0 No errors.
1 Errors in the command-line arguments, permissions, database connectivity, or missing required content."
