NAME

mtu − POLYCENTER Common Agent MIB Translator Utility

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/mtu [-ccode] [-i] [-l] file.mib [file.mib] ... 

FLAGS

−ccodeSpecify the EMA entity code to be assigned to the root entity. 

−iProduce an informational parameter file for input to the POLYCENTER Common Agent momgen utility (file.par). 

−lProduce a listing file containing the MIB information from the file.mib file and a summary of the mapping to EMA hierarchical structures in the file.lis file. 

DESCRIPTION

The mtu utility translates MIB specification files (.mib) into EMA Management Specification files (.ms).  The management specifications can be loaded into the POLYCENTER Common Agent Management Information Repository (MIR) by the /usr/sbin/mirc utility (see mirc(8)). 

The MIB structure and syntax is described by Concise MIB Definitions (RFC-1212).  The EMA Management Specification Language is described by the DECmcc System Reference Manual. 

If the Common Agent Developer’s Toolkit layered product is installed, the mtu utility can also produce momgen information files (file.par) from the MIB specification. 

EXAMPLES

The following example translates the superbox.mib MIB file into the MSL file superbox.msl (named by derivation), specifying 1000 as the EMA root entity.  An information parameter superbox.par is created that can be use with the momgen utility. 

# mtu -c 1000 -i superbox.mib

The following example translates all of the MIB files in the current working directory into MSL files.  For each MIB file, mtu produces the MSL file (.msl), a listing file (.lis), and a momgen informational parameter file (.par). 

# mtu -i -l ∗.mib

The following example translates the tinybox.mib MIB file into the MSL file tinybox.msl, specifying 500 as the EMA root entity.  A momgen informational parameter file (tinybox.par) is also generated.  The smallbox.mib MIB file is translated into the MSL file smallbox.msl, specifying 1000 as the EMA root entity. A momgen informational parameter file (smallbox.par) is also generated. 

# mtu -c 500 -i tinybox.mib -c 1000 -i smallbox.mib

FILES

file.lisA listing file that contains a numbered version of the MIB input file followed by a hierarchical management specification summary.  If errors are encountered, this file contains the diagnostic at the line where the error occurred. 

file.mibMIB input file. 

file.msMSL output file. 

file.parThe momgen informational parameter file.  It contains class, parent, and prefix information used by the momgen utility when generating a Managed Object Module.
