lsss

The lsss command is used by a DS6000 user to find previously created offloaded statesave files that are ready to send to IBM. These files were created with the offloadss command and must be sent to IBM because there was an error during the original FTP transfer of the statesave file.

Parameters

Note: This command can only be initiated from the DSCLI client installed locally on the management console connected to the target storage unit.

-s

(Optional) Specifies that only the statesave file names be displayed. You cannot use the -l and the -s parameters together.

-l

(Optional) Specifies that the default output plus additional attributes that are identified as long output be displayed. You cannot use the -l and the -s parameters together.

-state ready | sending | copying | sent

(Optional) Specifies that the report displays statesave files that meet the designated criteria. For example, if you specify the -state ready parameter, the report returns only those statesave file names that are ready to be sent to IBM.

Each option (ready, sending, copy, and sent) that is associated with this parameter represents a specific status that you can designate to narrow the search criteria. The lsss command uses this criteria to search for statesave files. The following values are associated with each option:

Ready: Specifies that you want to see the files that have been offloaded from the 1750, but not yet sent to IBM.
Sending: Specifies that the file is in the process of being transferred to IBM.
Copying: Specifies that the statesave file is in the process of being copied from either of the two storage management consoles.
Sent: Specifies that the statesave file has been transferred to IBM.

Example

For this command and all other DS CLI list commands, the results are shown in table format to provide clarity. The actual reports do not display as tables.
