Creating a Diagnostic File

In some cases, you might need assistance from Technical Support to solve problems that you might have
with DiskSafe Express. When you contact the Technical Support team, they might ask you to create a
diagnostic file to help them better understand your environment and configuration settings.
You can create a diagnostic file using either the DiskSafe Express application or, in the event of a system
failure, using the recovery CD. To create a diagnostic file using the recovery CD, the computer must have
a floppy disk drive or a directly connected USB disk.
Note: This diagnostic file does not include the log files associated with the Intelligent Management
Agent (IMA). You might be asked to send those files (iscmlib.log and iscmservice.log)
separately.
