Gathering Data From the Screen

You can use several commands to gather system information from the Screen. This information may be requested by Sun Service, should you encounter problems with your Screen.

Using the ssadm lib/statetables Command

    To gather data for a Screen, type:


    # ssadm lib/statetables

To Use the ssadm lib/screeninfo Command

Use this command to gather a complete set of data for your Sun Service representative, including:

    At the command line prompt, type:


    # ssadm lib/screeninfo

To Use the ssadm lib/support Command

This command gives you access to the commands in the support directory. All the commands in the support directory are invoked by the screeninfo command, yet it may be advantageous to run this command alone if you are seeking limited data.

    At the command line prompt, type:


    # ssadm lib/support subcommand parameters

To Use the Help Option

    At the command line prompt, type:


    # ssadm lib/support help
