370 XSCF Reference Manual • Last Revised January 2007
Every .zip archive generated by snapshot includes two files generated by
snapshot itself. The first file, called README, contains the original name of the
.zip archive, the name of the configuration file on the Service Processor used to
create the .zip archive, the version of snapshot and whether log-only mode (the
-l flag) was used to generate the archive. The second file, called CONFIG, is a copy
of the actual configuration file used by snapshot to generate the archive.
The data collected by snapshot may potentially be used by Service personnel to
diagnose problems with the system. snapshot can collect different sets of data for
different diagnostic purposes. The three different sets are named Initial, Root
Cause, and Full, and are specified through the use of the -L option.
