sendss

The sendss command is used by a DS6000 user with administrator authority to send previously created offloaded statesave files to IBM. This might be necessary if there was an error during the original FTP of the statesave file. This command is not supported on DS8000 models.

           '- -retry--retry_count-'  |                     '-  ... -' |

Parameters

Notes:

This command can only be initiated from the DSCLI client installed locally on the management console connected to the target storage unit.
Only DS6000 users who have administrator authority can use this command.
Use the lsss command with the -state ready parameter to list the statesave files that you want to send to IBM.
After the files are sent to IBM, the copies on your system are automatically moved to the %MR1750_SM_HOME%\send2IBM\sent directory.

-retry retry_count

(Optional) Specifies the number of times you want the system to keep trying to send the files by FTP if an error occurred on the original FTP transaction. You can specify a value of 0 - 3. The default is 0 and indicates that FTP not make attempts to resend the files.

statesave_name … | -

(Required) Specifies the file that is to be sent to IBM. The ellipsis (...) indicates that, optionally, you can specify multiple values. If you use the dash (-), the specified value is read from standard input. You cannot use the dash (-) while you are in the DS CLI interactive command mode. A typical filename might look like the following example:

175051113AB15A.IBM.0.NOPMH.050318180713.cl0.dumptrace.tgz

Invoking the sendss command

The resulting output
