MustGather documents aid in problem determination and save time resolving
Problem Management Records (PMRs). Collecting MustGather data early, even
before opening the PMR, helps IBM Support quickly determine if:
- Symptoms match known problems (rediscovery).
- There is a non-defect problem that can be identified and resolved.
- There is a defect that identifies a workaround to reduce severity.
- Locating root cause can speed development of a code fix.
