dmsweep--DSM Deployment Command Line Interface

dmsweep commands are valid on Windows (except Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98, Windows 95), and Linux platforms.

dmsweep is the command-line interface to the infrastructure deployment components of DSM. You can use dmsweep to initiate deployment of DSM agent and server packages to target computers, and scan for the presence of DSM software. You can use dmsweep to manage DSM agent and server packages on scalability servers.

The dmsweep command-line format:

dmsweep <subcommand> [{</option> [<arg>]}*]
subcommand

One of the following subcommands:

deploy
help (or usage)
packages
scan
sspack
stage
version
option

An option for the subcommand. A slash (/) or hyphen (-) precedes options.

Most of the options have a long and short form that you can use interchangeably, for example, you can use /tu instead of /tusername.

arg

An argument for the option.

Options that take an argument take the following formats:

</option> <arg>  (use a space to separate arguments)
</option>=<arg>
</option>:<arg>

If an argument contains spaces, enclose it in quotation marks:

/option="my arg"

If an option allows multiple arguments, comma-separated them with no surrounding spaces:

dmsweep scan /ip=10.0.0.1,10.0.0.2,10.0.0.3
