 +SOS package is located into Redhat appstream
 +  dnf install sos

 +    `sos report` and `IBM Power Systems service and productivity tools` are critical for system diagnostic and troubleshooting in Linux environments.
 +    For Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7, 8 and 9 users on IBM Power Servers, understanding how to install and update the `sos report` is essential.
 +    This document provides a comprehensive guide to effectively manage `sos report`.
 +
 +//Note:// Collecting Vital Product Data (VPD) on IBM Power Servers running RHEL depends on the version of the`sos report`and the versions of `IBM Power Systems service and productivity tools` (e.g., lsvpd, ​ libvpd). The `lsvpd` package includes the lsvpd, lscfg, and lsmcode commands. Together with a scanning program named `vpdupdate`,​ these commands compile a comprehensive hardware inventory of the system. This includes a list of all internal parts, part numbers, locations, serial numbers, feature codes (FC), Custom Card Identification Numbers (CCIN), I/O microcodes, system firmware, etc. Such detailed information is essential for remote engineers to create an action plan and dispatch field engineers for part replacement or system diagnostics.

 +Once completed, sosreport will generate a compressed a file under /tmp .
