Creating Business Application using the makeBE script
You can create a Business Application using the makeBE script. To create a Business Application, you need to use the import option of the makeBE script. The import option uses an existing CSV file to create a Business Application. The content of the CSV file determines the Business Application's objects.
To create a Business Application using the makeBE script
- Log on to the Management Server as the administrator or the root user.
- Run the following commands on Management Server:
For UNIX Management Server: /opt/VRTSsfmh/bin> perl vomadm makeBE --import /tmp/Samplefile.csv
For Windows Management Server: C:\Program Files\VERITAS\VRTSsfmh\bin>perl.exe vomadm makeBE --import C:\tmp\Samplefile.csv
- After the successful import, the Business Application is displayed on the Management Server console.
A sample CSV file used for the Business Application create operation is listed below. The Business Application is TestBA that contains a host, enclosure, database, disk group, and file system.
