2. We collect the type 3 (option 3) and have it automatically uploaded to the PMR number 
that is provided by IBM Support, as shown in Example 13-6.
Example 13-6   The svc_snap command
ssh superuser@9.173.156.250
Password:
IBM_Storwize:ITSO-V7k:superuser>svc_snap upload pmr=12345,000,866 gui3
3. If you do not want to automatically upload the snap to IBM, do not specify the upload 
pmr=ppppp,bbb,ccc part of the commands. When the snap creation completes, it creates a 
file named that uses the following format:
/dumps/snap.<panel_id>.YYMMDD.hhmmss.tgz
It takes a few minutes for the snap file to complete (longer if statesaves are included). 
4. The generated file can then be retrieved from the GUI clicking Settings → Support → 
Manual Upload Instructions twisty → Download Support Package and then, clicking 
Download Existing Package, as shown in Figure 13-71.
