7 LSMUTIL database utility
LSMUTIL command
LSMUTIL is a script that you can run from the command line or from a DOS bat file. LSMUTIL
reads information from the logical servers tables in the Insight Dynamics database. Based on the
option you select, the script exports information about logical servers and storage pool entries,
or updates the system with information imported from a specified XML file.
NOTE: You can use LSMUTIL to create storage pool entries without using the logical servers
screens and to configure a logical server to use local disk. For more information, see “Using
LSMUTIL with logical server storage” .
The LSMUTIL command line is:
LSMUTIL --option parameter > filename
LSMUTIL options
You can specify the following options and parameters on the LSMUTIL command line. If you
do not specify an option, the default option of --help is used.
NOTE: To redirect screen output to a file, enter a command similar to the following:
LSMUTIL --export > C:\logicalservers.xml
If the output file is in .xml format, remove the first three lines of the file to enable viewing the
file in a browser.
