8. 9. 10. 11. 12.

Now right click on SP A and from the menu select File Manager From the window, select the zip file SerialNumberOfClariion_spa_Date_Time_*.zip From the window, hit the transfer button to transfer the files to your local computer. Follow a similar process ( 8, 9, 10) for SPB, from the File Manager The SP B file name will be SerialNumberOfClariion_spb_Date_Time_*.zip

For customers that do not have SPCollects in the menu (running release 13 below), there is a manual way to perform SPCollects using Navicli from your management console or an attached host system. To gather SPCollects from SP A, run the following commands navicli h xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx spcollect messner Wait for 5 to 7 mins navicli h xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx managefiles list The name of the SPCollects file will be SerialNumberOfClariion_spa_Date_Time_*.zip navicli h xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx managefiles retrieve where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP Address of SP A For SP B, similar process like above, the name of the file you will be looking for is SerialNumberOfClariion_spb_Date_Time_*.zip Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx will be the IP Address of SP B SPCollects information is very important with troubleshooting the disk array and will give the support engineer all the necessary vital data about the storage array (environment) for troubleshooting. The following data that is collected using the SP Collects from both the SPs: Ktdump Log files iSCSI data FBI data (used to troubleshoot backend issues) Array data (sp log files, migration info, flare code, sniffer, memory, host side data, flare debug data, metalun data, prom data, drive meta data, etc) PSM data RTP data (mirrors, snaps, clones, sancopy, etc) Event data (windows security, application and system event files) LCC data Nav data (Navisphere related data) To read previous blog post on Clariion Technology, please see the following links
