Use the cpfiles command to copy files
from another node.
Syntax
satask cpfiles -prefix { directory | file_filter } -source source_panel_name [ target_panel_name ]
Parameters
- satask
- System Administrator task; service commands that
are only used in specific circumstances.
- -prefix directory | file_filter
- (Required) Specifies the directory, files,
or directory and files to be retrieved. The path must exist in a permitted
listable directory. You can use the following -prefix filters:
- /dumps (retrieves all files in all subdirectories)
- /dumps/audit
- /dumps/cimom
- /dumps/configs
- /dumps/drive
- /dumps/easytier
- /dumps/elogs
- /dumps/enclosure
- /dumps/feature
- /dumps/iostats
- /dumps/iotrace
- /dumps/mdisk
- /dumps/syslogs
- /home/admin/update
Note: - You can also specify a file filter. For example, if you specify /dumps/elogs/*.txt,
all files in the /dumps/elogs directory that
end in .txt are copied.
- If you use a wildcard, the following rules apply:
- The wildcard character is an asterisk (*).
- The command can contain a maximum of one wildcard.
- When you use a wildcard, you must surround the filter entry with
double quotation marks ("x"). For example: satask
cpfiles -prefix "/dumps/elogs/*.txt"
- -source source_panel_name
- (Required) Identifies the source node files will be copied from.
- target_panel_name
- (Optional) Identifies the node that files are copied to. If no panel name is provided, the files are copied
to the local node.
Note: If panel_name is
not supplied, this applies to the node on which the command is running.
