Hello,
To collect switch supportsave logs, please
Perform the following steps:
- Once an FTP server with the named folder has been created, log in to the Brocade switch and run the
supportsavecommand:
switch> supportsave
This command will collect RASLOG, TRACE, supportShow, core file, FFDC data, and other support information from both active and standby CPs, and then transfer them to the FTP/SCP/SFTP server or a USB device. This operation can take several minutes.
Note: The supportsave will transfer the existing trace dump file first, then automatically generate and transfer the latest one. There will be two trace dump files transferred after running this command.
- At the command prompt, type
y to proceed:
OK to proceed? (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
- Enter the IP address or host name of the FTP server:
Host IP or Host Name: <IP address>
- Enter the credentials for SFTP, or leave it blank for an anonymous FTP:
User Name: <sftp username>, or just press enter for “blank”
Password: <sftp password>, or just press enter for “blank”
- Specify the transfer protocol, in this case
ftp or sftp:
Protocol (ftp | scp | sftp): ftp
- Enter the name of the directory you created on the FTP root:
Remote Directory: <directory name>
- Press Enter, the output files will be sent to the destination:
Saving support information for switch:brocade200e-rtp, module:RAS...
.........
Saving support information for switch:brocade200e-rtp, module:TRACE_OLD...
Saving support information for switch:brocade200e-rtp, module:TRACE_NEW...
Saving support information for switch:brocade200e-rtp, module:FABRIC...
....
Note: If a Windows host is not available to FTP, a UNIX host can be used as well. The easiest method is by using SCP. Verify that SCP is installed on the host, and a directory has been created on the root volume of the host. Next, perform the same steps as above, this time using the username and password of the UNIX host, specifying SCP for the protocol, and specifying the name of the directory created to collect the logs. After collecting the logs, the user can zip the directory and upload to NetApp.
Send the output of switch> supportsave from all the switches involved in the issue. If the issue can be reproduced, it is preferable to run a supportsave before and immediately after the issue is reproduced.
Thanks
