Diagnostics Page and Options

Diagnostics Page and Options

The options on the Diagnostics page allow you to generate new diagnostics log files that capture the current state of your system (Generate), download diagnostics log files to the local system (Download), or delete existing diagnostics log files (Delete).

A DR Series diagnostics log file is a bundle that contains a variety of file types that record the latest system settings, and saves them in a compressed .lzip file format. The Diagnostics page identifies each diagnostics log file by the following attributes:

File name—in this format, <hostname>_<date>_<time>.lzip, as in this example: acme-sys-19_2012-10-12_13-51-40.lzip

There are two methods to display the Diagnostics page:

Using the Support page (to access the Diagnostics page via the Diagnostics link).
Using Support > Diagnostics (to access the Diagnostics page from the navigation panel).

If you have multiple pages of diagnostics log files, you can navigate to another page by using the controls are the foot of the Diagnostics summary table:

Click prev or next to move back or forward one page.
Enter a page number in Goto page, and click Go.
NOTE: You can also set how many entries you want to display per page in the Diagnostics summary table. In the View per page drop-down list, click 25 or 50 to select the desired number of entries to display.

File name

The diagnostics log file bundle collects the same type of hardware, storage, and operating system information collected by the Dell System E-Support Tool (DSET) from the Dell DR Series system hardware.

The diagnostics log file bundle is identical to one created using the DR Series system CLI diagnostics --collect --dset command. System diagnostics information can assist Dell Support when troubleshooting or evaluating your DR Series system.

Once completed, the new diagnostics log file resides at the top of the File Name column in the table. To verify, check its timestamp (using its date and time), to ensure this is the latest diagnostics file created.

The diagnostics log file bundle collects the same type of hardware, storage, and operating system information collected by the Dell System E-Support Tool (DSET) from the Dell DR Series system appliance hardware:
