Saving Logs - HP P2000 Reference Manual

Saving logs

To help service personnel diagnose a system problem, you might be asked to provide system log data.
Using SMU, you can save log data to a compressed zip file. The file will contain the following data:
• Device status summary, which includes basic status and configuration data for the system
• Each controller's event log
• Each controller's debug log
• Each controller's boot log, which shows the startup sequence
• Critical error dumps from each controller, if critical errors have occurred
• CAPI traces from each controller
NOTE: The controllers share one memory buffer for gathering log data and for loading firmware. Do not
try to perform more than one save-logs operation at a time, or to perform a firmware-update operation
while performing a save-logs operation.
To save logs
1. In the Configuration View panel, right-click the system and select Tools > Save Logs.
2. In the main panel:
a. Enter your name, email address, and phone number so support personnel will know who provided
the log data.
b. Enter comments, describing the problem and specifying the date and time when the problem
occurred. This information helps service personnel when they analyze the log data. Comment text
can be 500 bytes long.
3. Click Save Logs.
NOTE:
Download File option. If the download does not succeed the first time, return to the Save Logs panel
and retry the save operation.
Log data is collected, which takes several minutes.
4. When prompted to open or save the file, click Save.
• If you are using Firefox and have a download directory set, the file store.zip is saved there.
• Otherwise, you are prompted to specify the file location and name. The default file name is
store.zip. Change the name to identify the system, controller, and date.
NOTE: Because the file is compressed, you must uncompress it before you can view the files it contains.
To examine diagnostic data, first view store_yyyy_mm_dd__hh_mm_ss.logs.
