Snapshot is a utility provided by ILOM to collect SP(Service Processor) data in High end servers like T-series and M-series.
To run the snapshot, we have two methods :
1) ILOM CLI (Command Line Interface).
2) WEBGUI (Graphical User Interface).
Let me start with ILOM CLI, In CLI we use ftp or tftp protocol.
For this we need to login to ILOM.

Here we can observe dump_uri which means, where the snapshot dump should be generated.
So we need to set this dump location.
NOTE: Since snapshot is a large file,ensure the size of desired location before setting dump_uri.

IN GUI method, we need to login to ILOM ip from browser url :

Soon after entering credentials we can login to ILOM and can see a page as shown below :
NOTE : In screens observe the highlighted red box.
Then click on ILOM Administration :
Now click on the maintenance:
After clicking on maintenance, a page will be loaded then select the snapshot :
Then we can observe the option " Run " , click on it.
Now we need to select option " save " the snapshot in our local PC :
Lastly we need to select our desired location to where our snapshot should be downloaded:
Once download gets completed successfully, we can check our given location " My Documents " for the snapshot file.
