Scripting application (CQNICCMD)

CQNICCMD is a Windows utility that processes a network adapter configuration script file to duplicate the adapter teaming configuration of a source ProLiant BL/ML/DL server on a target server.

This utility is supported on the following Windows operating systems:

•Windows Server 2008

•Windows Server 2008 x64 Editions

•Windows Server 2003

•Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions

Run the utility from the command line in a Command Prompt window, from the Run option on the Windows Start menu, or from a Windows command file. To execute the CQNICCMD utility from the command line, the HP Network Configuration Utility (NCU) must be closed.

HP recommends that you use this application as part of the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit (SSST) deployment. However, the application can be used outside of this environment. Follow these steps when using the scripting application.

1.Configure adapter teaming on the source server.

2.Generate a script file on the source server by clicking Save in the HP NCU user interface or running CQNICCMD /S<filename> in the Command Line utility.

3.Modify the script file as necessary.

If you modify the script file, HP recommends that you run CQNICCMD/ P to check the syntax of the modified file and check the log file for errors and warnings. The default location of the log file is \cpqsystem\log\cpqteam.log on the system drive. The syntax of the /P option is cqniccmd /p<filename>

4.Install the HP NCU on the target system.

5.Run the Command Line utility with the following syntax. cqniccmd /c<filename>

6.Check the log file for errors and warnings. The default location of the log file is \cpqsystem\log\cpqteam.log on the system drive.

For use of this utility with the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit (SSST), refer to the documentation included with SSST. The SSST can be downloaded from http://www.hp.com/servers/proliantessentials (http://www.hp.com/servers/proliantessentials).
