Gather System Information
This service aid uses the AIX snap command to collect configuration information on
networks, filesystems, security, the kernel, the ODM, and other system components.
You can also choose to collect SSA adapter and disk drive configuration data, or AIX
trace information for software debugging.
The output of the SNAP service aid can be used by field service personnel or it can be
put on removable media and transferred to remote locations for more extensive
analysis.
To use the SNAP task, select Gather System Information from the task list. You can
select which components you want to collect information for, and where to store the
data (hard disk or removable media).
Generic Microcode Download
This service aid provides a means of executing a generic script from a diskette. The
intended purpose for this generic script is to load microcode to a supported resource.
This script can run whatever program is required to download the microcode onto the
adapter or device.
This service aid is supported in both concurrent and Standalone modes from disk, LAN,
or loadable media.
On entry, the service aid displays information about what it does. It then asks for a
Genucode diskette to be inserted into the diskette drive. The diskette must be in tar
format. The service aid restores the script file genucode to the /tmp directory. Then the
script is executed. The script must at that point then pull any other needed files from
the diskette. The script should then execute whatever program is necessary in order to
perform its function. On completion, a status code is returned, and the user is returned
to the service aid.
The genucode script should have a # ! /usr/bin/ksh line at the beginning of the file.
Return status of 0 should be returned if the program was successful, else a non-zero
status should be returned.
