StorageWorks Command Scripter

VMSRox — Mon, 03 Apr 2006 16:28:29 GMT

Hi,

I've been trying to find additional information about the StorageWorks Command Scripter for OpenVMS software. I've found the user guide but not much else.

Since I can't seem to find any info on this does anyone know :
1) is it retired?
2) is/was it a seperately licensed product or is/was it free to use for StorageWorks/OpenVMS customers?
3) if it is retired, is there a downloadable version anywhere that can be used unsupported?
4) if it is retired, is there a similar software product that allows scripting commands (via DCL) to configure StorageWorks arrays (specifically on HSG80 ACS v8.7 based arrays)?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Rox - beware that we tried to install the updated version of CPQCMDSCR, but all attempts failed.

It went back to HP, but we never got a resolution.

The only version I can get to run is :-

COMPAQ-AXPVMS-CPQCMDSCR-V0100-45-1.PCSI;1

You guys are great - thank you again so much for your help.

I guess I am challenged when it comes to finding information on HP's website. I searched for quite a while yesterday and did come across the first link you mentioned Karl
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Home.jsp?locale=en_US&prodT
ypeId=12169&prodSeriesId=306602&cc=us

from which I found the user guide. However, clicking the link to download the software resulted in "There are no software downloads or drivers for this product." So the fact that you were able to find the link to download ( http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/sanworks/softwaredrivers/commandscripter/cs1
0b.html?jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN )

is great - thank you so much.

I have not tried to install it yet but will do so soon. If I have problems with this version like you have Robert, is the older version available for download or can it be found on the OpenVMS distribution CDs?

Thank you again!

According to the links posted, you must already have v1.0 installed before you can upgrade to 1.0B.

The software originally came on a CD - don't know if you can still get hold of it though?

I've got a copy of 1.0 (1.5MB) if you want it emailed over, but it's up to you to ensure you can legally use it.

Hi Robert,

Thanks again for the additional info. Yes, if you wouldn't mind emailing it to vmsrox@verizon.net I would greatly appreciate it.

I will contact our HP reseller to find out about licensing, and will post a follow-up later with what I find out in case anyone else is interested.

Thanks again!

In case anyone else is interested, the Command Scripter software is a licensed (purchasable) product. From the Software Product Description (attached) the part numbers are :

218206-B21: 5 user
218207-B21: 10 user
218208-B21: 25 user.

I was quoted a price of $2850.00 for the 5 user license.

Thank you again for the help.
