Transfer Snapshot Output to Remote Console Over SSH Connection
As of Oracle ILOM firmware version 4.0.2, system administrators can choose to use the SSH Snapshot feature to transfer all Snapshot data directly to the client console over an established SSH session, rather than the conventional method of transferring the Snapshot data to a destination server over a separate network protocol like the tftp, sftp, and so on. With the SSH Snapshot feature, a non-text version of the output data is typically archived to a specified file destination on the remote host client system.
