Collecting maintenance data

The Data Collection option enables you to collect maintenance data that can help support

personnel diagnose system problems. Save this data to a zip file on a CD (or other medium with

the appropriate capacity), and forward it to technical support personnel.

NOTE:

If the Full Volatility feature has been enabled through the switch's maintenance port, a

memory dump file will not be included with the data collection.

To use this option, follow the detailed steps in the appropriate service manual for your Edge

Switch.

Executing an IPL

CAUTION:

The Ethernet connection between the HAFM appliance and switch is interrupted

momentarily during an initial program load (IPL). However, this does not interrupt Fibre Channel
