Dell PowerStore Service Scripts Guide

Get a system snapshot with the svc_arrayconfig service script

About this task

If you do not have root access, you can use the svc_arrayconfig service command to create JSON files. You can .zip those files into a single file, and download that file from the system.
NOTE:The svc_array_config service script can only be run on the primary node. This script cannot be run from the secondary node.

In PowerStoreOS versions 3.0 and later, the cluster IP address is found on secondary node B. To run the script and download the system snapshot file, you must have the node management IP address.

If you use the PowerStoreOS CLI, you can connect to the peer using the svc_ssh_peer service command. However, if you use WinSCP or another tool to download the system snapshot file, you must have the node management IP address of node A to allow node B to connect to it.

Steps

  1. Log in to the service container as the service user.
  2. Run the svc_array_config command to create JSON file outputs into a subdirectory under /home/service/user: $ svc_arrayconfig run -o /home/service/user/capture
  3. Verify that those file outputs are in the /home/service/user/capture directory: $ ls -la capture |wc -l 112
  4. From the /home/service/user directory, bundle the JSON files into a tar.tgz file called array_config_collections.tar.tgz. 
    $ tar -zcvf array_config_collection.tar.tgz capture/*
$ ls /home/service/user/array*
array_config_collection.tar.tgz
  5. Download the array_config_collections.tar.tgz bundle from the /home/service/user directory/.
