The following procedure describes how to transfer data
from the local system to the IBM customer inventory repository.
Before you begin
Prerequisite: The local system
must have Internet access to transfer the data file, and Port 443
must be enabled for traffic through your firewall.
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
and transfer the system information file:
ibm_utl_dsa_v.r.m_portable_platform -upload [-IBMid:user_id]
where
- v.r.m is the version of Dynamic System Analysis
- platform is the supported operating system
- user_id is your IBM user ID
Note: If you do
not specify -IBMid, you will be prompted for
your user ID. Dynamic System Analysis verifies
the IBM ID and if it is valid, adds it to the data file. If the ID
is not valid, or no ID is specified, the data file is transferred,
but the ID is not included.
