Resolution

Instructions for running the grab on an HP-UX host.

Ensure that this is done with root account.

Download the grab utility from https://central.dell.com/solutions/GrabUnixLinux (requires a Dell account).

  1. Create a directory for grab.
  2. Change (CD) to the directory created in Step 1.
  3. Put the grab utility in that directory.
  4. Untar grab utility [tar  xvf emcgrab_HP-UX_v4.7.1.tar].
  5. When it untars, it creates a directory inside that directory called grab.
  6. Cd into the underlying grab directory (now you are in /grab/grab).
  7. Do an ll or ls to see the packages, look for grab.sh.
  8. After finding the gab.sh there, run [./emcgrab.sh] while inside that directory.
  9. This runs the utility, usually takes 10 minutes or more to run, and creates a directory that is called outputs. The grab is copied automatically in there.
Once complete, upload the resulting compressed file (tar file) to the case or provided FTP location.

Additional Information

FTP access requires either Microsoft Internet Explorer or Google Chrome with IETab or Microsoft EDGE with IETab or a third-party ftp client.
