Using the css.snap script

The css.snap script collects log files created by switch support code (device driver, worm, fault-service,
diagnostic tests) into a single package.

Attention:

css.snap uses a number of undocumented utilities to collect information. Some of these, like

read_regs and the tbXdump routines, can be destructive when used on a running system. After using
css.snap to collect diagnostic information, it’s best to run /usr/lpp/ssp/css/rc.switch in order to
reset/reload the switch adapter and eliminate residual effects of these utilities. This procedure should be
used only under the direction of the IBM Support Center.

Note: css.snap is located in the /usr/lpp/ssp/css directory.

Under normal circumstances, it will collect the following:

cable_miswire

cable_miswire.old

core

(fault service daemon dump file)

css.snap.log

css_dump.out

daemon.stderr

daemon.stdout

dtbx.trace

dtbx.failed.trace

(most recent ’errpt -a’ and ’errpt’ entries)
