AIX Operating System Snap
|
# snap –r Removes the previous information.
# snap –g This
command gathers ODM, error report, trace file, user environment, paging
space, amount of physical memory, security user information and device
information.# snap –a This command gathers all system information. # snap –c Creates a compressed pax image. # snap –D It gathers dump and /unix information. # snap –e This command gathers HACMP specific information from all nodes.
# snap -d
new_directory -ac Includes ALL
information.
Creates the snap output file in a directory specified by "new_directory". This
directory should not exist as snap will create it. Without the -d flag the snap output is saved to /tmp/ibmsupt.
Any point of time you can combine one or more options
based on your requirement.
#cd /tmp/ibmsupt;mv snap.pax.Z CASE_NUMBER.snap.pax.Z
ftp testcase.software.ibm.com
