This command moves a snap file to a USB flash drive and uploads support information.
If collected, the IMM FFDC file is present in the snap archive in
/dumps/imm.ffdc.<node.dumpname>.<date>.<time>.tgz. The system waits
for up to 5 minutes for the IMM to generate its FFDC. The status of the IMM FFDC is located in the
snap archive in /dumps/imm.ffdc.log. These two files are not
left on the node.
Specify the lsdumps command to view the file that you create.
