Chapter 9 Configuration Extraction Tool

Troubleshooting CET

•adj2nmt—Use this command to recreate manual changes on previous extractions to current extractions.

•sniffcnf ntwk_name—Use this command to obtain an on-screen summary of the network topology. This is useful for a high-level check that the data extraction was successful.

The following CET installation commands are not required to run unless NMT was installed as stand-alone:

•cetlink— Use this command to copy the necessary CET files to your project directory. You can invoke it by running the command $CETHOME/cetlink

•cetrel—Use this command to remove the CET software from your project directory.

To obtain help about any of the CET commands, enter the command followed by -h,for example,

cet2nmt -h.

AIX Platform Support

If you have CWM installed on an AIX platform, run the svp2cet command on that platform and run the rest of the process on a support UNIX platform. Install the NMT on both the CWM AIX platform and a standard platform. After running the svp2cet command, copy the entire subdirectory with the plan name you entered to your working directory on the standard platform. Then, run the cet2nmt command to complete the extraction process.

To move the entire sub directory, use the UNIX tar command, then transfer the tar command in binary mode and untar it on the standard platform.

Troubleshooting CET

Occasionally, CET will execute successfully, but the resulting extract will be incomplete. If CET fails during the svp2cet command, look at the earliest error in the svp2cet.con file. The table below lists some common problems, and what to do about them.

Symptom	Links are missing
Probable Causes	Incomplete data in SV+ database.
Solution	View the file named maybe_links.sv. This file contains possible links based on
	incomplete data. If the missing links are in this file, add them to the links.svp file, and
	rerun cet2nmt.
