Commands
h \| ? \| help	Displays usage and options for the command.
logs \| view-logs	Opens the application log directory.
reg \| register /reg /psserver=%IP% /username=<username> [[ /password=<password>] \| [/pwdfile=<path-to-password-file>]] If you do not specify the password or a path to a file that contains the password, you will be prompted for the password. The password is obscured as you type it and it does not appear in the process list. Example: MigrateAgent.cli.exe /register /psserver=10.10.10.101 /username=jsmith /password=jspwd	Registers this machine as a workload on the specified server. It also checks for driver upgrades from the specified PlateSpin Server. Enables you to add workloads that cannot be discovered. Registered workloads differ from discovered workloads in the following ways: Registered source workloads do not store the source credentials. You must use Migrate Agent to install, upgrade, and remove Block-based Transfer (BBT) drivers from registered source workloads. After you delete the contract for a registered source workload, you must manually remove the OFX controller from the workload. To remove the OFX controller from the workload, see KB Article.
status /status [/psserver=%IP%]	Shows installation status for the PlateSpin controller and drivers on this workload. If you specify the PlateSpin Server, it checks for driver upgrades from the server.
din \| driver-install /din [/psserver=%IP%]	Installs the PlateSpin drivers. If you specify the PlateSpin Server, it checks for driver upgrades from the server.
dup \| driver-upgrade /dup [/psserver=%IP%]	Upgrades the PlateSpin drivers. If you specify the PlateSpin Server, it checks for driver upgrades from the server.
dun \| driver-uninstall [/dun /psserver=%IP%]	Uninstalls the PlateSpin drivers.
con \| config /con /setting=<setting_name>:<value> Example: migrateagent.cli.exe /config /setting=psserver:10.10.10.202	Specifies the name of the setting and its value to change in the configuration file on this workload. The psserver option stops the OFX Controller (ofxcontroller) service, modifies the OfxController.exe.config file with the new IP address, and restarts the service. If you modify the public IP address of the PlateSpin Server, you must run this command on each of the source workloads that are configured for the server.
Switch
/psserver=%IP%	Specifies the IPv4 address of the PlateSpin Server. Downloads the block-based transfer drivers from the specified server when you invoke the status, driver-install, or driver-upgrade options.
Command Options
username /username=value	Specifies the PlateSpin Server user name for an administrator-level user with rights to add a workload.
password \| pwd \| p /password= value	Specifies the password for the specified PlateSpin Server user name. If you exclude the password from the command line, the script will prompt for it. The password is obscured as you type it and it does not appear in the process list. Do not combine this option with the pwdfile option.
pwdfile \| pf /pwdfile=value	Specifies the path to a file that contains the password for the specified PlateSpin Server user name. Do not combine this option with the password option.
