Resolución

For log creation using the integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC), see Dell article, Export Dell SupportAssist Collection and RAID Controller Log using iDRAC7 + 8.
 
Note:
  • iDRAC7 firmware must be at least version 2.10.10.10 to offer the option of creating a RAID controller log.
  • Since iDRAC firmware version 2.30.30.30, the former Tech Support Report is called SupportAssist Collection
  • USB driver must be FAT-32 format for the Lifecycle Controller to recognize it.

Steps:

  1. Boot the server and press F10 to enter the Lifecycle Controller.
  2. Select Hardware Diagnostics from the list on the left and select Export SupportAssist collection as shown below.
