OOPS.  nvUtil doesn't use the minus.  It's "nvUtil G".  Now I have to
write "Measure twice, saw once" on the board 100 times.

Been there.  Done that.  The "nvUtil -G >temp.file" command will list
all your SmartSets in a file and I presume that "smartsetutil -G" will
do that as well.  It only takes a little editing and you can then
execute the result as a shell script which uses the "nvUtil a" command
to add them to the new system.  
 
The result of the query "smartsetutil g temp" :

           SmartSet: Temp
                Description: descriptive text
                Rule: isRouter=TRUE

becomes this to create the new one: 

        
        nvUtil a Temp "descriptive text" "isRouter=TRUE"

Repeat for each group in the "G" output file.  Forgive any errors in
syntax on the smartsetutil side; I haven't worked with the Windows
version for a couple years.

Usman,

As far as I know, you can export the smartset's rules on Windows using
the smartsetutil -g <smartset name> and then import them on Linux using
nvUtil -a <smartset name> <smartset description> "<smartset rule>" 
I do not know a way to import/export all of them at once, but I hope
this helps.

Best regards,
Marcelo Zacchi

        Hi List, 
         
        We recently migrated from NV 7.1.4 (Windows) to NV 7.1.5
(Linux), took a backup of entire 'usr' folder, but later decided not
restore to linux but to do a rediscovery. Rediscovery was done smoothly
had some issues migrating the DNS to BIND as well but its resolved. Now
the problem is we had a lot of smartsets maintained on the Windows
enviornment, how do we migrate those to Linux? We have a backup which we
took using the smartsetmaint/smartutil scripts. Is there a way to
restore the smartsets using the backup. 
         
        Thanks in advance
         
         
        Regards,
