Save storage array diagnostic data

The save storageArray diagnosticData command saves the storage array diagnostic data from either the controllers or the environmental services modules (ESMs) to a file.

Supported Arrays

This command applies to an individual DE2000H, DE4000H, DE4000F, DE6000H, or DE6000F storage array.

Roles

To execute this command on an storage array, you must have the Storage Admin role.

Context

You can review the file contents at a later time. You can also send the file to technical support for further review.

After you have saved the diagnostic data, you can reset the NVSRAM registers that contain the diagnostic data so that the old data can be overwritten. Use the reset storageArray diagnosticData command to reset the diagnostic data registers.

Attention
Run this command only with the assistance of technical support.
