Collect PowerFlex Manager platform installer support data
Use the following procedures to collect the PowerFlex Manager platform installer support data.
Steps
-
On the PowerFlex Manager Platform (PFMP) installer host, execute the data collection utility,
pfmp_support, as a user with superuser permissions, such as user root.
The utility is available in the location where the installer was extracted, under the PFMP_Installer/scripts directory.In the following example, the PFMP installer was extracted under /tmp/PFMP2-4.0.0-161.
# /tmp/PFMP2-4.0.0-161/PFMP_Installer/scripts/pfmp_support estimating required space cleaning up temporary directories collecting kubernetes data collecting shared kubernetes data collecting server data collecting general hardware data collecting network data collecting storage data preparing files for collection generating bundle cleaning up temporary directories bundle available at '/tmp/powerflex-pfmpsupport/pfmpSupport.tgz'
-
Provide the resulting support bundle file to PowerFlex Support.
By default, bundle files are named /tmp/powerflex-pfmpsupport/pfmpSupport.tgz.
