supportSave 2 If you plan to use secure copy (or scp mode) to transfer files with the supportSave command, it is important to pretest the supportSave command prior to its use with various scp mode services. Because the supportSave command will make several access requests to copy files, it is important that the scp mode service be configured so that passwords will not be required for each attempted transfer by the supportSave command. Failure to pretest and properly configure the service could result in significant delays in obtaining transferred output from the supportSave command. -U Saves support data to an attached USB device. When using this option, a target directory must be specified with the -d option. Examples To save RASLOG, TRACE, supportShow, and other support information to a FTP server in non-interactive mode: switch:admin> supportsave This command collects RASLOG, TRACE, supportShow, core file, FFDC data and other support information and then transfers them to an FTP server. Only the local CP's and BP's information is saved and supportShow information is only available on the Active CP. This operation can take several minutes. NOTE: supportSave transfers the existing trace dump file first, then automatically generates and transfers the latest one. There will be two trace dump files transfered after this command.
