specified in the data file (and properties specified with invalid data values) are configured

using their default settings.

• If no teams are configured on the source server, then no teaming information is written to

the data file, and configuration of the target system consists of configuring individual NICs

only.

The CQNICCMD scripting utility

CQNICCMD is a utility that uses a script file to duplicate the NIC teaming configuration

information of one Integrity source server and copy it to another Integrity target server.

Script conversion issues

Scripts created with earlier versions of the Network Configuration Utility (NCU) are supported.

However, HP recommends that you recreate them using the latest version of the NCU. Several

operating modes in scripts generated with NCU versions 7.7x and earlier have changed and are

converted as follows:

• “Manual” is converted to “Network Fault Tolerance Only (NFT)”

• “SmartSwitch” is converted to “Network Fault Tolerance Only with Preference Order”

• For Smart Switch Teams, the existing “PreferredPrimaryNic” attribute determines which

team member should be ranked higher than others within the “PreferredPrimaryRanking”

attribute

All other unspecified parameters use their defaults.

Using the CQNICCMD utility

Run this utility from the command line in a Command Prompt window, or use the Run option

on the Windows Start menu, or from a Windows command file. HP recommends that you use

this utility as part of a SmartStart Scripting Toolkit (SSST) deployment. However, you can use

the application outside of this environment.

NOTE: To execute the CQNICCMD utility from the command line, you must first close the HP

Network Configuration Utility.

To use the scripting application, complete the following steps:

1. Configure NIC teaming on the source server.

2. Generate a script file on the source server by clicking Save in the HP Network Configuration

Utility user interface or by running CQNICCMD /S<filename> in the command-line utility.

3. Modify the script file as necessary.

NOTE: If you modify the script file, HP recommends that you run CQNICCMD /P to check

the syntax of the modified file and check the log file for errors and warnings. The default

location of the log file is \cpqsystem\log\cpqteam.log on the system drive. The syntax

of the /P option is: cqniccmd /p<filename>.

4. Install the HP Network Configuration Utility on the target system.

5. Run the Command Line utility with the following syntax:

cqniccmd /C <filename>

6. Check the log file for errors and warnings. The default location of the log file is \cpqsystem\

log\cpqteam.log on the system drive.
