Parameter Description
file
The file path and the file name of the DBM Validator
required for IBM Technical Support representative. Enclose
the file name in double quotation marks (" "). For example:

when entering the file name.
dmbDatabase
The file path and the file name of the DBM database you
want to use to restore a storage subsystem. Enclose the file
name in double quotation marks (" "). For example:

Notes
If you are generating the XML information file in order to obtain a validator string, you must run this
command while you are connected to the controller where you intend to restore the database. The
following example show the format of the XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<DbmImageMetadata>
<Controllers>
<A>1IT0nnnnnnnnnABCD</A>
<B>1T0nnnnnnnnnABCD</B>
</Controllers>
<Header>
<ImageVersion>1</ImageVersion>
<TimeStamp>1269388283</TimeStamp>
</Header>
<Trailer>
<CRC>nnnnnnnnnn</CRC><
/Trailer>
</DbmImageMetadata>
Save Storage Subsystem Diagnostic Data
This command saves the storage subsystem diagnostic data from either the controllers or the
environmental services monitors (ESMs) to a file. You can review the file contents at a later time. You can
also send the file to an IBM Technical Support representative for further review.
After you saving the diagnostic data, you can reset the NVSRAM registers that contain the diagnostic
data so that the old data can be overwritten. Use the
reset storageSubsystem diagnosticData
command
to reset the diagnostic data registers.
Important: Run this command only with the assistance of an IBM Technical Support representative.
