You can use the MirrorCell script to
create representations of servers that are running previous versions
of WebSphere® Application
Server in the Intelligent Management environment.
Purpose
The MirrorCell script
creates a representation in the Intelligent Management administrative console
of WebSphere Application
Server application
servers from previous versions, such as Version 5.1 or Version 6.
Before you run this script you must generate the mappings file.
Location
The MirrorCell script
is in the app_server_root/bin directory.
Usage
MirrorCell.sh [-props PROPS] [-mode MODE] [-nosec, –nosave]
Parameters
- PROPS
- Specifies the full path to the properties file.
- MODE
- The default mode is ALL if you do not specify
the value or specify a value that is not valid. You can specify the
following modes:
- ALL: Runs through every phase of the process.
- READ: Reads your cell configuration into
an XML definition file only.
- DIFF: Differentiates your previously known
configuration from the new configuration to detect changes or unnecessary
configurations.
- WRITE: Creates the new configurations from
the XML definitions file.
- PROPSGEN: Generates the properties file only.
One useful application of the PROPSGEN mode is
to run this mode as a cell administrator, set the user name and password
while in the default encryption mode, and then give the properties
file to a non-administrator to use when running the scripts. This
action ensures that only the initial administrator that generates
the file knows the values for the user name and password.
Options
- -nosec
- Specifies that your properties file does not encrypt the user
name and password; however you must then use this option every time
you run the scripts. Otherwise, the logic assumes that you are using
encrypted data.
- -nosave
- Specifies that the script preforms trial run and does not persist
any of the changes that were made. To ensure that the script runs
correctly, use this option when you first run the script.
The following example creates the new configurations only
and disables the persistence of changes:
./MirrorCell.sh –mode WRITE -nosave
