Include all OS, fix and patch levels in the PMR with you open it. Include TL and service
packs levels.
The three most common data gathering tools are snap, zsnap or perfpmr.
Snap comes pre-installed on AIX systems. You may be asked to download the latest versions of
zsnap or perfpmr to gather additional data.
Make absolutely sure you follow the naming standard in uploading data. Update the PMR
with filename and location of where uploaded.
Be sure to execute any steps given by the support analyst precisely.
Deviating from what the analyst asks you introduces new variables into the problem determination
and can delay resolution.
Don't be afraid to ask questions. If something is unclear or you are concerned about doing
something the analyst asks you to, speak up.
If asking a 'how to' question, explain what you are trying to accomplish.
Utilize resources such as Developerworks, Redbooks, forums, etc., for how to information.
Follow up! Don't be afraid to ask for status if you don't hear back from support after a
reasonable amount of time.
