Collecting system information on a local system using removable media

The following procedure describes how to collect system information on a local system using removable media.

Procedure

Insert the media into the system, and if necessary, mount the removable media.
From a command line, change to the directory for the removable media.
Enter the following command to collect system information:
```
ibm_utl_dsa_v.r.m_portable_plaform [-x] [-v] [-text]
```
where v.r.m is the version of Dynamic System Analysis, and platform is the supported operating system.

This command creates compressed CIM-XML output by default. You can also create HTML output by specifying the -v option and ASCII text output by specifying the -text option. If you specify the -x option, compressed CIM-XML output is not created, and you must specify the -v or -text option, or both.
