Method of Collecting the Log Information

The field engineers and authorized service personnel collect the log information.
Also, the system administrator might collect the log information.
To download the log information, execute the snapshot(8) command with some
options in the XSCF Shell. When the command is executed, all XSCF log information
is saved at the specified location.
Note – The download information by using the snapshot(8) command does not
include log archives. The archived logs are stored on the archive host. The log
archives can be accessed by logging in to the archive host.
The log can be saved in the device using one of the following two methods.
The configuration information can be saved and restored when a USB device has
■
been connected to the USB connector mounted on the XSCF Unit front panel of
the M4000/M5000/M8000/M9000 servers or on the rear panel of the M3000
server.
The log data is transmitted through the network with an encryption protocol.
■
Note – The USB device should only be formatted using the FAT32 file system.
Please ask authorized service personnel about the USB capacity and the handling of
USB devices.
Note – The snapshot(8) command can encrypt collected data by specifying an
option. If you collect the data, be sure to ask the authorized service personnel to
collect only the log file, the encryption information, and the method of sending the
log file.
