Capturing the FFDC log using IMM2 CLI commands

This section provides the steps to generate and download the first failure data capture (FFDC) log data using IMM2 CLI commands.

Note

You must have an tftp or sftp server setup prior to using this procedure.

To generate and download the first failure data capture (FFDC) log data using IMM2 CLI commands, complete the following steps:

1. First, set up a tftp or sftp server.
2. Log in to the IMM2 using Telnet or SSH Server.
3. At the command prompt, type ffdc generate.
   Note

   You can also use the status command to check the progress of the file generation. You can use the copy command to obtain a copy of the existing log data file and the delete command to delete the existing log data file.
4. Next, type ffdc status to check the status.
5. You can wait until the file is generated, or you can type ffdc copy -IP host address (where host address is the IP address for the tftp or sftp server). The file will be copied to your tftp server or sftp server.
6. Type exit to exit the session when you are done.
