Collecting information for HP Support with the IbrixCollect
Data Collection is a log collection utility that allows you collect relevant information for diagnosis
by HP Support when system issues occur. The collection can be triggered manually using the GUI
or CLI (using the ibrix_collect command), or automatically during a system crash. Data Collection
gathers the following information:
Specific operating system and StoreAll command results and logs
Crash digester results
Summary of collected logs including error/exception/failure messages
Collection of information from StoreVirtual and MSA/P2000 storage connected to the cluster
NOTE: When the cluster is upgraded from a StoreAll software version earlier than 6.0, the
support tickets collected using the ibrix_supportticket command will be deleted. Before
performing the upgrade, download a copy of the archive files (.tgz) from the /admin/platform/
diag/supporttickets directory.
