vgc-diags

You can use this command to save support information (log file, system
configuration, drive configuration, drive metadata) necessary for analysis
when a fault occurs. The information is saved to a file named vgc.diags.tar.gz.
It is recommended that you execute this command immediately after a Flash
Drive error occurs. Send this vgc.diags.tar.gz file to the maintenance
personnel.
Command:
# /opt/vgc/bin/vgc-diags -p <output path> < drive-name >
Example: To get log information of all Flash Drives
# /opt/vgc/bin/vgc-diags -p <output path>
Example: To get log information of only vgcb
# /opt/vgc/bin/vgc-diags -p <output path> vgcb

vgc-beacon

When multiple Flash Drives are connected to one server, to make it easy to
link device name (dev/vgcx)vgcx (can be checked from the OS) with this
device, turn on all LEDs on the PCI bracket; this makes it possible to pinpoint
a card.
Command:
# /opt/vgc/bin/vgc-beacon -d < drive-name > -b < 1 or 0 >
Example: To turn on LED in /dev/vgca
# /opt/vgc/bin/vgc-beacon -d vgca -b 1
Example: To turn off LED in /dev/vgca
# /opt/vgc/bin/vgc-beacon -d vgca -b 0
