Dominic,
it is not very difficult to write scripts to retrieve smartsets defs and
restore them. I had written those scripts a while ago just to make sure I can
always restore any smartset def if case of "disaster".
Here they are if you are interested in (they're written in perl). The first
one dumps the smartsets defs, the second one restore them (or just one og them
if passed as argument) :
########## beginning of first script ##################
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
@ListSmartsets = `/usr/OV/bin/nvUtil L`;
foreach $smartset (@ListSmartsets)
{
chomp($smartset);
`/usr/OV/bin/nvUtil g $smartset > ./cfg/$smartset`;
}
########## end of first script ##################
########## beginning of second script ##################
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
if (defined($ARGV[0]))
{
$cnt = 0;
foreach $smartset (@ARGV)
{
$ListSmartsets[$cnt] = './cfg/' . $smartset . "\n";
$cnt++;
}
}
else
{ @ListSmartsets = `ls ./cfg/*` }
foreach $item (@ListSmartsets)
{
chomp($item);
@Config = `cat $item`;
foreach $cfg (@Config)
{
chomp($cfg);
$pos = index($cfg, 'SmartSet:');
if ($pos != -1)
{
$name = substr($cfg, $pos+10);
}
$pos = index($cfg, 'Description:');
if ($pos != -1)
{
$descr = substr($cfg, $pos+13);
}
$pos = index($cfg, 'Rule:');
if ($pos != -1)
{
$rule = substr($cfg, $pos+6);
}
}
`/usr/OV/bin/nvUtil a \"$name\" \"$descr\" \"$rule\"`;
}
########## end of second script ##################
Have fun!
