SSSU for Solaris

[Sue Ellen Berkmeyer]

Can I call sssu commands from within a UNIX shell script? I want to take a nightly snapclone of an Oracle database in hot backup mode.

P.S. This thread has been moved from Storage Area Networks (SAN) (Enterprise) to HP Storage System Scripting Utility (SSSU). -HP Forum Moderator

Normally, you create a sssu file with sssu commands. For example, in your Unix script you will have:

!#/bin/ksh
#
# Set database in backup mode
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/db_backup.sh enable
# Start SSSU cloning
sssu "file sssu_commands.cmd"
# Set database in normal mode
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/db_backup.sh disable

FYI: And in addition to using a separate file, you can also use HERE documents:

$ sssu <select manager localhost user=administrator pass=administrator
select system "MyEVA"
exit
EOT

Thanks for both replies. I am new to the EVA San environment. Was using a NetApp filer. Have to totally redo the Oracle backup/recovery and cloning strategy. Will probably use the SSSU and Unix scripting since we don't currently have a license for the RSM Oracle-Integration feature.
