Using State Capture
The StorNext State Capture tool enables you to create a log that captures 
the current state of your system. This log assists Quantum support 
personnel analyze and debug some problems in the storage system. 
When you use the State Capture tool, StorNext creates a log file named 
using the format snapshot-machinehostname-
YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.tar.gz. This file contains a summary report that is 
produced by executing the pse_snapshot command on all component 
config/filelist files. 
If desired, you can download or delete a previously captured file. When 
you are finished using the State Capture tool, you can return to the 
StorNext home page or select another tool or option.
