Comparing multiple system information files

The following procedure describes how to compare two or more system information files that were previously collected.

1. Insert the media into the system, and if necessary, mount the removable media.
2. From a command line, change to the directory for the removable media.
3. Enter the following command to compare system information:

   ibm_utl_dsa_v.r.m_portable_plaform -r data_file -v

   where v.r.m is the version of Dynamic System Analysis, platform is the supported operating system, and where data_file is the fully-qualified name of the system information file that you want to compare. Separate multiple data files using a space.

   If you specify the -i option, this command compares the specified data file against the data file specified by the -r option. If you do not specify the -i option, this command collects the current system information on the local system before comparing it against the data file specified by the -r option.
