Diagnostic documentation for the ROBAR server

You have various options for collecting diagnostic data of the ROBAR-SV instances:

• with the ROBAR-SV Manager (recommended)

• using scripts

• with the robar menu program

Collecting diagnostic documentation with the ROBAR-SV Manager

You can use the ROBAR-SV Manager to collect and display current diagnostic data for a ROBAR-SV instance in a user-friendly manner, see section "Diagnostic information on the ROBAR-SV instance".

Collecting diagnostic documentation using a script

The interface-specific scripts COLLECT_DIAG_DATA_<interface> support you in collecting all the required diagnostic documentation. The diagnostic data is automatically selected by ROBAR-SV.

Format:
COLLECT_DIAG_DATA_SCSI [-a <directory>] [-d <directory>] <instance>
COLLECT_DIAG_DATA_ABBA [-a <directory>] [-d <directory>] <instance>

Operands:

-a <directory>

Optional specification of a directory with further data which is added to the diagnostic documentation collected by the script.

-d <directory>

Optional specification of a directory in which the diagnostic documentation collected by the script is stored.
Without this specification the diagnostic documentation is stored in the directory specified in the ROBAR_SAVE_DIR parameter of the global configuration file of ROBAR-SV (default value: /var/opt/fujitsu/robar).
If the diagnostic documentation cannot be stored there, it is stored in the /var/opt/fujitsu/robar directory.

<instance>

Name of the ROBAR-SV instance for which the diagnostic documentation is to be created.

Collecting diagnostic documentation with the robar menu program

You can create diagnostic documentation with the SAVE menu. For more details on the SAVE menu, see "SAVE Save diagnostic data".
