Generate a support materials bundle (svc_dc run)
This service script is used to generate a new support materials bundle, or data collection, on the local appliance using the default
profile. A support materials archive is generated for each appliance in a cluster and stored locally on the appliance.
Format
svc_dc run [-h] [--debug] [-v] [--output {json}] [-p PROFILES]
[-a APPLIANCES] [-vol VOLUMES] [-vvol VIRTUAL_VOLUMES]
[-d DESCRIPTION] [-u]
Optional arguments
Qualifier Description
-a, --appliances List of appliance IDs to include, in the format of A1, A2, and so on. Use svc_diag --
basic to find the ID of this appliance.
NOTE: The default value for this option is local appliance only.
-vol, --volumes List of volume IDs to include.
-vvol, --virtual_volumes List of virtual volumes IDs to include.
-p, --profiles List of profiles to use.
-d, --description The text description associated with the data collection.

Example
Generate a new support materials bundle on appliances APM00162303297and APM00152832910 using the Essential profile.
Gather support materials on the local appliance using the default profile. Each appliance in a cluster gathers its own support
materials archive and stores it locally on that appliance.
