Gathering information for your switch support provider

If you are troubleshooting a production system, you must gather data quickly. As soon as a problem
is observed, perform the following tasks. For more information about these commands and their
operands, refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference.

1. Enter the supportSave command to save RASlog, TRACE, supportShow, core file, FFDC data,

and other support information from the switch, chassis, blades, and logical switches.

2. Gather console output and logs.

NOTE

To execute the supportSave command on the chassis, you must log in to the switch on an account
with the admin role that has the chassis role permission.

Setting up your switch for FTP

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions.

2. Enter the supportFtp command and respond to the prompts.

Example of supportFTP command

switch:admin> supportftp -s

Host IP Addr[1080::8:800:200C:417A]:

User Name[njoe]: userFoo

Password[********]:

Remote Dir[support]:

supportftp: parameters changed

NOTE

Refer to

“Automatic trace dump transfers”

on page 100 for more information on setting up for

automatic transfer of diagnostic files as part of standard switch configuration.

Using the supportSave command

The supportSave command uses the default switch name to replace the chassis name regardless
of whether the chassis name has been changed to a non-factory setting. If Virtual Fabrics is
enabled, the supportSave command uses the default switch name for each logical fabric.
