Capturing the FFDC log data using IMM CLI commands

This topic provides instructions for using the IMM CLI commands to capture the FFDC log data.

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

1. Log in to the IMM using Telnet or SSH Server.
2. 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.
3. Next, type ffdc status to check the status.
4. You can wait until the file is generated, or you can type ffdc copy -IP host address (where IP host address is the IP address for the IMM). The file will be copied to your tftp server or sftp server.
5. Type exit to exit the session when you are done.
