SSSU utility on Openvms

[Carl H Fero]

I am trying to get SSSU to work so I can "capture" my eva5000 configuration. I am trying to run the utility from an ES40 Alphaserver running OpenVMS 7.3-2. Below is the error I am encountering when I do a "run sssu_vms.exe
$ run sssu_vms.exe

NoSystemSelected> "SELECT MANAGER 172.16.40.333 USER=administrator PASS=xxxxWORD hEre"

hi,

what does it give as options if you put a "?"after the ip address.

Do you actually have those quotation marks in your command or am I just seeing things? If so, remove the quotation marks.

I took the double quotes off and I don't get an error but it just comes back to the prompt 1 second later like nothing happened...

Well you actually haven't told SSSU to do any work. That's why. You will need to "select" the eva you want to work with then issue a capture config command. You might be better off posting in the Storage forum. Here is a thread there which might help you get started. There are other threads.

Thanks. I'm going to go look in the Storage Forum and see what I can find.

The SSSU command sequence would be:
SELECT MANAGER 172.16.30.201 ...
LS SYSTEM
SELECT SYSTEM array-name-here
CAPTURE CONFIGURATION array-name-here.TXT
EXIT

Set up SSSU as a (global) symbol
$ SSSU :==$path:SSSU_VMS.EXE

Then you can have the commands in a control file. So if the above commands were in, say, GET-CONFIG.SSSU (note there is NO default file type for a SSSU control file), the command would look like:
$ SSSU "FILE GET-CONFIG.SSSU"

Thanks everyone for your input! This was my first time using this forum and have done the capture config today!
