Working with Snap files
I frequently work with customer systems where I need a systems inventory. This could be for troubleshooting or just to save the final state of a system for later reference.
I have worked with many consultants who have an inventory script they give customers but I have found that I prefer to use the tools native to the platform when they are available. On AIX I use IBM's native snap command. If you've ever been on the phone with IBM support before, you know they barely wait to ask your name before they ask for you to upload a snap.
IBM has created an excellent tool for troubleshooting AIX in the
snap utility which is distributed as part of the OS. In my
experience it captures about 90% of what I need to know about a
system, including:
Installed software
Devices and attributes
LVM details and disk layout
Network statistics and configuration data
Rather than ask a customer to run commands for me and capture the output, or ask them to run a script from an untrusted source as root on their production server, I always ask for a snap.
The snap tool has a large number of arguments, see:
I prefer to specify explicit flags for the data to be collected
instead of using snap -ac default. Be aware that the "all" data
collection (-a) includes the user password database files with
usernames and password hashes, which I don't want and should not be
sent over an untrusted network. As a result I commonly use:
snap -cfgGiknLt Using these options quoted below from the IBM link above: -c Creates a compressed pax image (snap.pax.Z file) of all files in the /tmp/ibmsupt directory tree or other named output directory. Note: Information not gathered with this option should be copied to the snap directory tree before using the -c flag. If a test case is needed to demonstrate the system problem, copy the test case to the /tmp/ibmsupt/testcase directory before compressing the pax file. -g Gathers the output of the lslpp -hac command, which is required to recreate exact operating system environments. Writes output to the /tmp/ibmsupt/general/lslpp.hac file. Also collects general system information and writes the output to the /tmp/ibmsupt/general/general.snap file. -G Includes predefined Object Data Manager (ODM) files in general information collected with the -g flag. -f Gathers file system information. -i Gathers installation debug vital product data (VPD) information. -k Gathers kernel information -L Gathers LVM information. -n Gathers Network File System (NFS) information. -t Gathers Transmission control protocol information.
This gives a good overview of the system without including a system dump. Most of the time the snap files range from 5 MB to 25 MB.
Always run snap -r to clear the snap cache in /tmp/ibmsupt before
taking a new snap. This is generally safe as the only files it will
remove are files snap knows that it wrote.
The snap file is always stored in /tmp/ibmsupt/snap.pax.Z. This is
a compressed PAX file which the pax utility or GNU tar can read.
It's easy to rename them before downloading via:
mv /tmp/ibmsupt/snap.pax.Z /tmp/ibmsupt/$(hostname)_$(date +%Y%m%d).snap.pax.Z
The format of the snap file is pretty simple. In the base directory there are several directories, each contains copied files from the host and files ending with .snap which contain commands and output. For instance:
- client_collect
-
This is where data about the virtual client devices is saved, including kernel debug dumps.
- filesys
-
Common commands like 'df' are stored here, all focused at the filesystem layer.
- kernel
-
Copies of kernel parameters, 'vmo', etc.
- lvm
-
Summary .snap files for every volume group, all the way down to the LP mappings.
- tcpip
-
Common configuration files from etc (/etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf), and networking commands in tcpip.snap.
- general
-
This includes many items about the system, including ODM data exported to text, console logs, errpt output, environment variables, inittab, LPAR stats, lsdev of several device types, packet filter rules, SSH config, and general.snap. That snap file has many commands including lsdev, bootinfo, lsps, lslpp, lscfg, and more.
I have two scripts I use to enable me to work with snap files. The first untars the snap into a more regular format, renaming for the host, OS, and date taken. It also creates a bzipped tar for archival. The second allows me to query the .snap files in each snap for many host snaps stored in the same directory.
I use these scripts on Ubuntu Linux with common Linux utilities. I'm sure they would run on AIX with GNU Awk installed and some modifications.

Now I can also use standard UNIX text utilties to run aggregate reports on the data from the snaps. Here's a good example, showing all of the queue depth values in use on all snaps in the current working directory.
% ~/scripts/ExtractCmd.sh 'lsattr -El hdisk' | grep queue_depth | cut -f2 -d: | sort -u queue_depth 1 Queue DEPTH True
Imagine checking 15 hosts for no_reserve on hdisks, or iostat set to
true on sys0. This method of working with snaps can be very powerful
even in an offline manner.
On a final note, here's a highlight of most of the commands included in the snap.
