Configuring System Message Logging

Binary Tech Support

Binary tech support is a log-collecting framework that collects logs internally from all Cisco NX-OS processes
that are running on the device. Enter the show tech-support all binary uri command to collect logs from
across the entire device, including virtual device contexts (VDCs), and linecards. The logs are saved under
one tarball that can be easily transferred for later analysis. If a line card fails during the log collection, binary
tech support continues to collect logs from all remaining line cards and VDCs.

Virtualization Support

A virtual device context (VDC) is a logical representation of a set of system resources. System message
logging applies only to the VDC where commands are entered.
For information about configuring VDCs, see the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Virtual Device Context
Configuration Guide.
