mmsexplorer(1M) System Administration Commands mmsexplorer(1M)NAMEmmsexplorer - generate diagnostic report for Media Management System
SYNOPSISmmsexplorer-u [report_name] [num_lines]
DESCRIPTION
The mmsexplorer command creates a diagnostic report of the activities
of the Media Managment System (MMS) server configuration and collects
log information. It constructs the diagnostic report from the most
recent entries in the MMS log file, MMS database, and MMS trace file.
The MMS is a software interface, consisting of library managers and
drive managers, that manages storage resources such as tape libraries,
tape drives, media pools, tape volumes, and the disk resources that
emulate tape drives and tape volumes.
By default, mmsexplorer generates a compressed report. Use the -u
option to generate an uncompressed file.
To run mmsexplorer, you must become superuser, or assume the Primary
Administrator role.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-u

and location is:
/tmp/MMSreport.<hostname.YYYYMMDD.HHMMZ>.tar.gz
num_lines
Specifies the number of lines to capture from each file that con‐
tributes to the diagnostic report. The default is 1000 lines.
