Appendix C. The KVMADMIN utility
Particularly useful for complex Agility Dual with VNC configurations and the control of remote installations, KVMADMIN is a pow-
erful administration tool.
KVMADMIN is based upon the established VNC viewer and uses the same security system. Rather than a graphical interface such
as the standard viewer, KVMADMIN uses command line control to provide the following administration facilities:
• Discover and adjust the Agility Dual with VNC configuration, including host systems,
• Save and restore the Agility Dual with VNC configuration,
• Set user names and passwords,
• Download the event log,
The use of KVMADMIN is strictly limited to the ‘admin’ user and for security purposes it is not possible to retrieve user names or
passwords from the Agility Dual with VNC.
To use KVMADMIN you require the IP address and admin password of the Agility Dual with VNC unit. The command line is as
follows:
kvmadmin <command> <ip address> [<parameters>]
where
<command>
is one of the following:
• -setconfig <config-file>
• -getconfig <config-file>
• -setusers <csv-file>
• -getlog <log-file>
• -gethosts <csv-file>
• -sethosts <csv-file>
• -setmodes <csv-file>
For instance, the command line:
kvmadmin -getconfig kvm1.cfg 192.168.2.1
... downloads the current configuration from the Agility Dual with VNC unit at the given address and stores it in the local file
kvm1.cfg
.
Whereas the command line:
kvmadmin -setusers users.csv 192.168.2.1
... configures the usernames and passwords for the same unit from the local file
users.csv.
For more information about KVMADMIN, please refer to the user notes supplied with the utility.
