Cause
svc_xxx is alias of sudo.
Resolution
In order to use svc_xxx customer can use two different option:
1. Add sudo /EMC/Platform/bin/ :
Linux client:
ssh service@emcunity02 " sudo /EMC/Platform/bin/svc_param ALL -facility cifs -info allowSnapSureVss"
Welcome to EMC Unity 500 64GB - (none) - upc_Unity_5_6_upcBuilder-4.1.1.9138882-GNOSIS_RETAIL
Password:
Server parameter value, allowSnapSureVss="1"
2. Customer can add the following string at the end of file ~service/.bashrc (Vi it on both SPs):
shopt -s expand_aliases
Then it will work like:
Linux client:
ssh service@emcunity02 "svc_param ALL -facility cifs -info allowSnapSureVss"
Server parameter value, allowSnapSureVss="1"
