supportSave
2
If you plan to use secure copy (or scp mode) to transfer files with the
supportSave command, it is important to pretest the supportSave command
prior to its use with various scp mode services. Because the supportSave
command will make several access requests to copy files, it is important that
the scp mode service be configured so that passwords will not be required for
each attempted transfer by the supportSave command. Failure to pretest and
properly configure the service could result in significant delays in obtaining
transferred output from the supportSave command.
-U Saves support data to an attached USB device. When using this option, a
target directory must be specified with the -d option.
Examples To save RASLOG, TRACE, supportShow, and other support information to a FTP server in
non-interactive mode:
switch:admin> supportsave
This command collects RASLOG, TRACE, supportShow, core file, FFDC data and
other support information and then transfers them to an FTP server. Only
the local CP's and BP's information is saved and supportShow information
is only available on the Active CP. This operation can take several
minutes.
NOTE: supportSave transfers the existing trace dump file first, then
automatically generates and transfers the latest one. There will be two trace
dump files transfered after this command.
OK to proceed? (yes, y, no, n): [no]
