NOTE
Before collecting data through the Support Save feature, you may want to disable auto-recovery on
the host system. When adapters are reset after an auto-recovery from a failure, traces initiated
before the failure may be lost or overwritten.
To disable auto-recovery, use the following commands:
• For Linux, use the following commands, then reboot the system:
- To disable auto-recovery for the network (BNA) driver.
insmod bna.o bnad_ioc_auto_recover=0
- To disable auto-recovery for the storage (BFA) driver.
insmod bfa.o ioc_auto_recover=0
• For VMware, use the following commands.
- To unload and load the network (BNA) driver with IOC auto-recovery disabled, use the
following commands:
esxcfg-module -u bna
esxcfg-module bna bnad_ioc_auto_recover=0
- To disable IOC auto-recovery for the network (BNA) driver across reboots, use the following
command:
esxcfg-module -s "bnad_ioc_auto_recover=0" bna
- To disable IOC auto-recovery for the storage (BFA) driver across reboots, use the following
command:
esxcfg-module -s "ioc_auto_recover=0" bfa
• For Windows use the Registry Edit tool (regedt32) or the BCU drvconf --key command.
Following is the drvconf ---key command:
bcu drvconf --key ioc_auto_recover --val 0
• For Solaris, edit /kernel/drv/bfa.conf using the following command:
ioc-auto-recover=0
NOTE
Brocade 804 and 1007 adapters are not supported on Solaris systems.
