NAME

       mmsexplorer - generate diagnostic report for Media Management System

SYNOPSIS

       mmsexplorer -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

	   Generates the diagnostic report file in an uncompressed format.

       report_name

	   Specifies the name of the diagnostic report file. The default name and location is:

	     /tmp/MMSreport.<hostname.YYYYMMDD.HHMMZ>.tar.gz

       num_lines

	   Specifies the number of lines to capture from each file that contributes to the diagnostic report. The default is 1000 lines.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1 Creating Diagnostic Report Using Default Values
