Using the Linux log collection utility

You can use the clsnap Linux command to collect data from a PowerHA® SystemMirror® cluster.

clsnap command

The clsnap command collects the log files from all nodes of the cluster and saves the log data as a compressed .tar file in the /tmp/ibmsupt/hacmp directory for every cluster node. The logs of the clsnap command are created in the /tmp/ibmsupt/hacmp.snap.log file. The clsnap command performs the following operations:
  • To collect log information from the local node, enter the following command:
    clsnap -L
  • To collect log information from the specified node, enter the following command:
    clsnap -n <node-name>
  • To collect log information in a specified directory, enter the following command:
    clsnap –d <dir>
