supportsave [-R]
supportsave [-U -d remote_dir]
Description Use this command to collect RASLOG, TRACE, supportShow, core file, FFDC data and other support
information to a remote FTP location. On platforms that support USB, the information can also be
stored on an attached USB device.On a dual CP system, the local and remote CP's information will
be saved. SupportShow information is available on Active and Standby CPs. To reduce the chance
of missing the correct trace dump, supportSave will retrieve old (the existing dump before the
command) and new (the dump triggered by the command) trace dumps.
The core files and panic dumps remain on the switch after the command.The FFDC data will be
removed after the command.
If there are BP blades installed in the switch, it will also retrieve support file (as a.tar.gz file) from
each slot.
This command accepts IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. If the configured IP address is in IPv6 format, the
RAS auto file transfer and event notification to syslog will not work in the case where the FOS
version is downgraded. It is required to re-configure auto file transfer and syslog with IPv4 IP
addresses.
