This topic describes how to use the SAN File System script for
one-button data collection for servers and for clients.
Steps
- The one-button data collection utility is designed to gather information
of interest for first-failure data capture and analysis. It gathers diagnostic
data of value in the initial investigation of reported problems. You should
keep in mind that the amount of data gathered can be significant, so you might
want to mount a file system over the output directory.
- Each system provides unique log information which must be collected
individually. The script must be executed on each server and each client.
The script places a set of files into the directory indicated by the tool.
- For metadata servers, do the following:
- Change to the directory where the data collector script is located as
follows:
cd /usr/tank/server/bin
- Follow the menu options to collect the data. At the prompt enter:
./obdc
- For UNIX-based clients, do the following:
- Change to the directory where the data collector script is located as
follows:
cd /usr/tank/client/bin
- Follow the menu options to collect the data. At the prompt enter:
./obdc
- For Windows clients, do the following:
Note: Output
is stored in C:\Program Files\IBM\Storage Tank\pmf\system_name\Administrator.
- At the C:\WINNT> prompt, change to the directory where the data collector
script is located as follows:
cd \Program Files\IBM\Storage Tank\Client\bin
- Follow the menu options to collect the data. At the C:\WINNT> prompt
enter:
