Gather System Information
This service aid uses the AIX snap command to collect configuration information on networks, file systems,
security, the kernel, the ODM, and other system components. You can also 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.
