dmsweep--DSM Deployment Command Line Interface › dmsweep Subcommands › dmsweep scan

dmsweep scan

The dmsweep scan command scans the specified target addresses and determines the active addresses available for deployment. It determines whether the target computers have the requested package installed.

Subcommand format:

scan [/manager <manager_machine>] 

[/musername <manager_username> /mpassword <manager_password>] 
[/mfilename <manager_filename>]  
{/ip <address_wild> [/toip <stop_address>] 
 | /ipfilename <ip_filename> 
 | /domain <domain_name> (WinNT only) 
 | /uri <uniform resource identifier> 
 | /targetcred <target_credentials_file> 
 | /query <query_name>}
{/packagenum <package_number> 
 |  /product <product_name> /package <package_name> 
 [/version <version>] 
 [/platform <platform>] 
 [/language <language>]}

/manager

Specifies the name of the manager from which to retrieve the package list. If you omit /manager, the current machine is assumed.

/musername

Specifies the username for the manager computer.

/mpassword

Specifies the password for the manager computer.

/mfilename

Lets you read the name of the manager and details of its username and password from a file.

/ip

Start address or addresses from which to scan.

You can specify an address as a machine name, if it can be successfully resolved (for example, by DNS), or as an IP address (for example 10.0.0.1). The <address_wild> argument enables you to use asterisks (for example, 10.0.0.* covers the range 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.0.254 and 10.0.*.* covers the range 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.255.254.

You can specify a single address for <address_wild> or a comma-separated list of addresses.

Note: This parameter is the start address only when the /toip option is also used.

/toip

End address for the range to scan.

This option can only be used in conjunction with /ip. When used the scan starts with the address specified by <address_wild> and stops after scanning <stop_address>.

/ipfilename

If you specify /ipfilename, the command reads the list of target machines from the file <ip_filename>. Each line of the file contains a single target address or multiple addresses separated by commas:

machine1

machine2, machine3, 10.0.0.1

machine5

/domain

If a deployment manager is on a Windows-based computer, you can use /domain to scan the computers in the specified domain.

/uri

If you specify /uri, you can use a uniform resource identifier to specify target computers to read from an external directory.

/targetcred

If you specify /targetcred, the command reads the list of target machines and connection credentials from the file <target_credentials_file>.

/query

If /query is specified, the list of targets are generated when the unmanaged asset query identified by <query_name> is run.

/packagenum

Package number of the package to be scanned for.

/product

Property of the package to be scanned for.

/package

Property of the package to be scanned for.

/version

Version of the package to be scanned for. If you do not provide enough information to identify the package, an error is displayed.

/platform

Platform property of the package to be scanned for. If you do not provide enough information to identify the package, an error is displayed.

/language

Language property of the package to be scanned for. If you do not provide enough information to identify the package, an error is displayed.

Example:

Scan a target computer to find out if a package is already installed:

dmsweep scan /ip <target machine> /pn 2
