Copy the System Dump from the Server
You can copy the dump like any other file, or you can aggregate the dump to workstation data by using the snap command.
To copy the dump to tape, use the tar command:
tar -c
To copy to a tape other than the /dev/rmt0 tape:
tar -cftapedevice
To copy the dump back from the external media (such as a tape drive),
use the tar command.
Enter the following to copy the dump from the /dev/rmt0 tape:
tar -x
To copy the dump from any other media, enter:
tar -xftapedevice
To aggregate the dump to workstation data, run the nim -o snap command or select the snap operation in the smit nim_mac_op panel. Both methods remotely execute the snap command. The collected data is located in the same directory as the dump directory. You can save the collected data to a tape, external media, or any other media as previously described.
