mtu(8)mtu(8)NAMEmtu - POLYCENTER Common Agent MIB Translator Utility
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/mtu [-ccode] [-i] [-l] file.mib [file.mib]...
OPTIONS
Specify the EMA entity code to be assigned to the root entity. Produce
an informational parameter file for input to the POLYCENTER Common
Agent momgen utility (file.par). Produce 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 Man‐
agement Specification files (.ms). The management specifications can
be loaded into the POLYCENTER Common Agent Management Information
Repository (MIR) by the /usr/sbin/mirc utility.
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 fol‐
lowing 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 (tiny‐
box.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
A 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. MIB input file. MSL output file. The momgen
informational parameter file. It contains class, parent, and prefix
information used by the momgen utility when generating a Managed Object
Module.
