Please follow the steps below as part of pre and post processing of your system copy to setup the PowerConnect (PC)

Before system copy

To preserve existing PC configuration, export out the PC tables:

1. Prepare export and delete scripts (note: delete scripts will be used later)
   a) Export script – create a text file with the following contents:

   export
   client=ALL
   file=”<export directory/export_PC_des.dat”
   # —————————————————————————–
   select * from “/BNWVS/SEPHDR_C”
   select * from “/BNWVS/SEPFLD_C”
   select * from “/BNWVS/TARGETS”
   select * from “/BNWVS/DSSCHEME”
   select * from “/BNWVS/GRP_DEF_C”
   select * from “/BNWVS/TASK_GRPC”
   select * from “/BNWVS/MTR_CFG_C”
   select * from “/BNWVS/MTR_FLD_C”

   

   b) Delete script – create a text file with the following contents:

   remove
   client=ALL
   # —————————————————————————–
   select * from /BNWVS/SEPHDR_C
   select * from /BNWVS/SEPFLD_C
   select * from /BNWVS/TARGETS
   select * from /BNWVS/DSSCHEME
   select * from /BNWVS/GRP_DEF_C
   select * from /BNWVS/TASK_GRPC
   select * from /BNWVS/MTR_CFG_C
   select * from /BNWVS/MTR_FLD_C

   

2. Run export command to export it into a file

   R3trans export_PC_conf

   

   

After system copy

1. Ensure all PC jobs are stopped
   
2. Delete existing PC configurations which are being system copied over

   R3trans delete_PC_conf
   

3. Run import command to import back the config created from earlier step

   R3trans -i export_PC_des.dat
