Run the PIM planner

Introduction to the PIM planner

What does it do?

• The PIM planner connects to the Abiquo kinton database and extracts the data for the PIM migrator tool.
• It doesn't make any changes to the platform

How do we install it?

• The abiquo-pim-tools package with the planner and migrator is part of the Abiquo 5.3 upgrade.  Would they need to install it on a datanode 
• The default install folder is /opt/abiquo/pim-tools.

What is the output?

• A log in standard output (you should redirect it to a file)
• A migration plan in ZIP format called migration-plan.data

Requirements

The PIM planner requires:

• Access to the MariaDB kinton schema via the JDBC URL. 
  • It encrypts the DB credentials at runtime and it does not export them to

To run the PIM planner do these steps:

1. Log in to the Abiquo API Server  

2. Run the PIM planner against your database  Should they copy it to the DB server and run there. 

   Redirect the standard output of the PIM planner to a file  should they use a .txt for easier viewing
