Collect command line options

Collect is a command line utility that enables you to specify options for obtaining HP specific hardware information from SMS clients. These options enable you to specify the following settings:

The names of the .MIF files to be created by the client
The SMS directory where the client places the .MIF files (If this directory is not specified, Collect outputs the inventory tables to the screen.)
The items to be inventoried (If the items are not specified, Collect will perform a complete inventory.)
The Collect help screen

The following table contains the command line options:

Option	Name	Description	Table collected
`/F`	Output file	Specifies the name of the single .MIF output file created by the SMS client. The default file name is COMPAQ.MIF. This output file includes all requested inventory tables. Do not use this option with `/M`.
`/H`	Server health	Collects server health information.	Health subsystem
`/I`	Drive array	Collects Drive Array information.	All drive array tables
`/M`	Multiple	Creates multiple output files named COMPAQ0.MIFCOMPAQ9.MIF.
`/SC`	SCSI	Collects SCSI information.	SCSI devices
`/SE`	Standard Equipment	Collects standard equipment information.	System attributes
`/SMS03`	SMS 2003	Places the .MIF files in the SMS 1.2 NOIDMIF directory on the client machine. Requires either `/F` or `/M`.
`/SS`	Storage System	Collects storage system information.	Storage system attributes
`/SW`	Software Version	Collects software version information.	Software version information
`/?`	Help	Displays the Collect help screen.

The command line syntax is:

COLLECT [[/M|/SMS03] /F outfile [/H|/I|/SC|/SE|/SS|/SW] |[/?]]

The default command line is typically:

COLLECT /M /SMS03

This command places the resulting .MIF files in the appropriate client directory so SMS can update the database with HP specific inventory information.
