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 on target computers. You can use dmsweep to manage DSM agent and server packages on scalability servers.

The dmsweep command line has the following format:

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

One of the following subcommands:

deploy
help (or usage)
packages
scan
sspack
stage
version

For details of valid values for subcommand and option, see dmsweep Subcommands.

option

An option for the subcommand. All options are preceded by a slash (/) or hyphen (-).

Most options have a long and short form that you can use interchangeably, for example, you can use /tu instead of /tusername. For more information, see Abbreviations for dmsweep Arguments.

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 you must enclose it in quotation marks; for example

/option="my arg"

If an option allows multiple arguments they must be comma-separated (with no surrounding spaces), for example:

dmsweep scan /ip=10.0.0.1,10.0.0.2,10.0.0.3
