Inventory Export Scripts
There are three scripts you can run to export information about the devices or occupied slots known to
the EPICenter inventory. The scripts let you export information on devices known to a single EPICenter
installation, on slots known to a single EPICenter installation, or on devices known to multiple
EPICenter servers. The information will be output in comma-separated (CSV) format suitable for
importing into a spreadsheet.
• For a device report, the information reported includes the device name and type, IP address,
location, serial and board numbers. If you use the Distributed server version of this report, the name
of the EPICenter server that manages the device will also be included.
• For a slot report, it includes the device name and IP Address, slot number, slot name and slot type,
and the serial number of the blade in the slot.
Using the Inventory Export Scripts
The three scripts are located in the EPICenter
user\scripts\bin
directory under the EPICenter install
directory (by default
\epc4_1
under Windows, or
/opt/extreme/epc4_1
under Solaris). You must have
the
user\scripts\bin
directory as your current directory in order to run these scripts.
There are three inventory export scripts you can use:
•
inv.bat <options>
(Windows), or
inv.sh <options>
(Solaris) exports device information from
the EPICenter database.
To export device information to file
devinfo.csv
under Windows, enter the command:
cd epc4_1\user\scripts\bin
inv.bat -o devinfo.csv
