SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

Utility to help configure NNM iSPI Performance and Network Performance Server.

If no parameters are passed, interactive mode is enabled and this script will prompt for appropriate values. The script will ask the user if they would like to use values previously recorded in a configuration response file.

When a response file is specified using -f, configuration parameters are obtained from the file.

When used with -u, parameters are obtained from a prior 9.1x / 9.2x configuration file. Default values are used for parameters that did not exist in the earlier version. The -u mode should only be used by the product installer and can only be run once.

If an empty parameter is given, either interactively or via a response file, then a default value is used. A password is only requested if a username is specified.

Parameters are saved in an output file suitable for subsequent use as a configuration response file. The script returns the name of the file created. The file contains one line per parameter, the format is 'name = value'
