2945.0. "How to save MIR/ALARMS/EXPORT during upgrade?" by ZPOVC::RAMARAJ () Wed May 06 1992 13:07

    I'm currently using the 1.2.7 FT version on VMS and ULTRIX.
    
    I have registered alot of node4, snmp, bridges, fddi, conc, 
    terminal servers, ethernet and alot of entities.  I also have alot alarms 
    and exporting for them too.
    
    How can I save all the MIRs, exportings, alarms etc  for all entities 
    that I currently have, when I upgrade to another FT version or the SSB 
    version.
    
    Is there a way to save the relevant file and use them after an upgrade?
    I'm sure alot of folks out there would need such an utility.
    
    Thank in advance for any hints or help

2945.1	Alarms has an extraction tool	MOLAR::ROBERTS	Keith Roberts - DECmcc Toolkit Team	`Wed May 06 1992 14:33`	17

Raj, For Alarms you can use the Extract Rules Tool, which will extract all of the Alarm Rules from the Alarms MIR .. and create a script to reload the MIR at a later time. VMS: run sys$system:mcc_alarms_extract_rules Ultrix: mcc_alarms_extract_rules /keith
2945.2	will upgrade wipe out alarm rules?	SWORD1::KENNEDY	MaryEllen - CTE	`Tue May 12 1992 19:42`	3
	Do you really have to do this before upgrading??? Not a user-friendly feature. _Mek
2945.3	Not too bad on VMS.	TOOK::MINTZ	Erik Mintz, DECmcc Development, dtn 226-5033	`Tue May 12 1992 22:54`	6
	On VMS, I think the installation procedure will do the extract rules for you. On ULTRIX, which is essentially a V1 product for us, there is really no way. The MIR file formats changed during field test, so all of the MIRs should be removed prior to upgrade from T1.2.4 to anything.
