              '- -noftp-'  '- -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 a person with administrator authority can initiate this command.
The statesave information is collected in the %MR1750_SM_HOME%\send2IBM directory and automatically sent to the IBM support Web address. As with the use of the mkpe command, the files that are sent by FTP transfer are automatically moved to the master console subdirectory %MR1750_SM_HOME%\send2IBM\sent\

-noftp: (Optional) Specifies that the ftp transfer to IBM be disabled. The default is that ftp transfer is enabled unless this parameter is specified.
Note: You cannot use this parameter with the -retry parameter.
-retry count: (Optional) Specifies the number of times that FTP can be tried after the original FTP transfer has failed. You can specify a value of 0 - 3 with 0 being the default. If you specify 0, no additional FTP transfers are attempted after the initial FTP transfer attempt.
Note: You cannot use this parameter with the -noftp parameter.
storage_unit_ID: (Required) Specifies the storage image ID. A storage image ID consists of manufacturer, machine type, and serial number.
