The two utilities are the HPQLOMIG utilityand the HPQLOMGC utility. These utilities automate some of the migration steps necessary for themanagement processors to support Directory Services. The utilities:• Discover management processors in the network (HPQLOMIG only).• Upgrade the firmware on the management processors to the version that supports Directory Servicesor schema-free directories.• Name the management processors to identify them in the directory.• Create objects in the directory corresponding to each management processor and associate them toa role.• Configure the management processors to enable them to communicate with the directory.The HPQLOMIG utility automates the process of migrating management processors by creating objects inthe directory corresponding to each management processor and associating them to a role. HPQLOMIGhas a GUI and provides the user with a wizard approach to implementing or upgrading large amounts ofmanagement processors.HPQLOMGC is a command line utility enabling you to migrate individual management processors. Usedin conjunction with HP SIM or Systems Insight Manager, HPQLOMGC upgrades the firmware of themanagement processor, if necessary, configures the management processor, and configures the directorysettings. It also creates a device object in the directory using the name in the XML file or the networkname, depending on whether the user has selected this from the command line, then associates the deviceobject to a role. HPQLOMGC can also be launched by itself or from within a script (for example, a batchfile or Perl script).CompatibilityHPQLOMIG and HPQLOMGC run on Microsoft® Windows® versions that support the Microsoft® .NETFramework. The Microsoft® .NET Framework is required. Additional information and download of the.NET framework can be found at Microsoft® website (http://www.microsoft.com/net).
