The sendpe command is used by a DS6000 user with administrator authority to send a previously created PE package to IBM. This might be necessary because there was an error during the original FTP transfer of the package.

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 DS6000 users who have administrator authority can use this command.
- Use the lspe command with the -state ready parameter to list the PE package files that you want to send to IBM.
- The PE package files that can be sent have a file extension of pe.zip or SMClog.zip.
- After the files are sent to IBM, the copies on your system are automatically moved to the %MR1750_SM_HOME%\send2IBM\sent directory.
