## How To Create a Snapshot With the ILOM Command-Line Interface

| Caution - Customers should not run this utility unless requested to do so by Sun Services.

Before You Begin

To collect SP data using the Service Snapshot utility, you need the Admin (a) role enabled.

1. Log in to the ILOM CLI.
2. Type the following commands:

   ->`set /SP/diag/snapshot dataset=data`

   ->`set /SP/diag/snapshot dump_uri=URI`

   Where data and URI are one of the following:

   Value | Option | Header
   --- | --- | ---
   data | normal | Specifies that ILOM, operating system, and hardware information is collected.
   full | Specifies that all data is collected (“full” collection). Note: Using this option might reset the running host.
   normal-logonly or full-logonly | Specifies that only log files are to be collected.
   URI | Any valid target directory location | Specifies the URI of the target directory. The URI format is as follows: protocol://username:password@host/directory Where protocol can be one of these transfer methods: SFTP or FTP. For example, to store the snapshot information in the directory named `data` on the host, define the URI as follows: `ftp://joe:`mypasswd@host_ip_address/`data` The directory data is relative to the user's login, so the directory would probably be `/home/joe/data`.
