12 Setting Up Automatic Trace Dump Transfers You can set up a switch so that diagnostic information is transferred automatically to a remote server. Then, if a problem occurs you can provide your customer support representative with the most detailed information possible. To ensure the best service, you should set up for automatic transfer as part of standard switch configuration, before a problem occurs. Setting up for automatic transfer of diagnostic files involves the following tasks: • Specify a remote server to store the files. • Enable the automatic transfer of trace dumps to the server. (Trace dumps overwrite each other by default; sending them to a server preserves information that would otherwise be lost.) You should also set up a periodic checking of the remote server so that you are alerted if the server becomes unavailable and you can correct the problem. See the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for additional information. The following procedures describe in detail the tasks for setting up automatic transfer. To specify a remote server 1. Launch the Switch Admin module as described on page 3-3. 2. Click the Trace tab. 3. Type the FTP host IP address, path of the remote directory in which to store the trace dump files, FTP user name, and FTP password in the appropriate fields. The password is optional if you log in as an anonymous user. 4. Click Apply. To enable automatic transfer of trace dumps 1. Launch the Switch Admin module as described on page 3-3. 2. Click the Trace tab. 3. Click Enable in the Auto FTP Upload section to enable automatic uploading of the trace dump to the FTP host. 4. Click Apply.

To disable automatic uploading of the trace dump 1. Launch the Switch Admin module as described on page 3-3. 2. Click the Trace tab. 3. Click Disable in the Auto FTP Upload section to disable automatic uploading of the trace dump to the FTP host. 4. Click Apply. Web Tools Administrator's Guide Publication Number: 53-0000194-01 12-3
