create Description Creates support files for troubleshooting switch problems, and certificates for secure communications for Simple SAN Connection Manager, QuickTools, Enterprise Fabric Management Suite, and SMI-S. Authority Admin session for the certificate operand Syntax create certificate support Operands certificate Creates a security certificate on the switch. The security certificate is required to establish an SSL connection with a management application such as Simple SAN Connection Manager. The certificate is valid 24 hours before the certificate creation date and expires 365 days after the creation date. Should the current certificate become invalid, use the create certificate command to create a new one. NOTE: To insure the creation of a valid certificate, be sure that the switch and the workstation time and date are the same. See also the following commands: • date command for information about setting the time and date • set timezone command for information about setting the time zone on the switch and workstation • set setup system command for information about enabling the Network Time Protocol for synchronizing the time and date on the switch and workstation from an NTP server. support Assembles all log files and switch memory data into a file (dump_support.tgz) on the switch. If your workstation has an FTP server, you can proceed with the command prompts to send the file from the switch to a remote host. Otherwise, you can use FTP to download the support file from the switch to your workstation. The support file is useful to technical support personnel for troubleshooting switch problems. Use this command when directed by your authorized maintenance provider. This operand does not require an Admin session. NOTE: Support files are deleted from the switch during a power-cycle or switch reset. Examples The following is an example of the create certificate command: 8/20q FC Switch (admin) #> create certificate The current date and time is day mon date hh:mm:ss UTC yyyy. This is the time used to stamp onto the certificate. Is the date and time correct? (y/n): [n] y Certificate generation successful.

create

Description

Creates support files for troubleshooting switch problems, and certificates for secure communications

for Simple SAN Connection Manager, QuickTools, Enterprise Fabric Management Suite, and SMI-S.

Authority

Admin session for the

certificate

operand

Syntax

create

certificate

support

Operands

certificate

Creates a security certificate on the switch. The security certificate is required to establish an SSL

connection with a management application such as Simple SAN Connection Manager. The

certificate is valid 24 hours before the certificate creation date and expires 365 days after the

creation date. Should the current certificate become invalid, use the

create certificate

command to create a new one.

NOTE:

To insure the creation of a valid certificate, be sure that the switch and the

workstation time and date are the same. See also the following commands:

•

date

command for information about setting the time and date

•

set timezone

command for information about setting the time zone on the switch and

workstation

•

set setup system

command for information about enabling the Network Time

Protocol for synchronizing the time and date on the switch and workstation from an NTP

server.

support

Assembles all log files and switch memory data into a file (

dump_support.tgz

) on the switch.

If your workstation has an FTP server, you can proceed with the command prompts to send the

file from the switch to a remote host. Otherwise, you can use FTP to download the support file

from the switch to your workstation. The support file is useful to technical support personnel for

troubleshooting switch problems. Use this command when directed by your authorized

maintenance provider. This operand does not require an Admin session.

NOTE:

Support files are deleted from the switch during a power-cycle or switch reset.

Examples

The following is an example of the

create certificate

command:

8/20q FC Switch (admin) #> create certificate

The current date and time is day mon date hh:mm:ss UTC yyyy.

This is the time used to stamp onto the certificate.

Is the date and time correct? (y/n): [n] y

Certificate generation successful.
