sm_deploy modes of operation

The sm_deploy has the following command-line options:

• --install=<dir> – To install the utility.

• --create=<file> – To create the deployment package.

• --deploy=<file> – To deploy the package.

• --rollback – To rollback the configuration changes.

• --broker – The broker to which the SAM server is attached. Use this option to collect configuration settings from SAM RPS.

• --server – The SAM server whose configuration settings from RPS are to be collected.

• --clean – To clean the files in the local directory.

• --silent

• --sitemod – To specify customer specific local directories.

• --help

  The deployment utility must be used with at least one of these options.

  Note:

  If you want to run this utility from older versions of VMware Smart Assurance products, you must copy the sm_migrate.pl script, sm_deploy.pl script and, the Perl files packaged in a .zip file from the 10.1.12 installation to the corresponding locations in the old installation.
