Generating SupportAssist Collection If you have to work with Tech Support on an issue with a server but the security policies restrict direct internet connection, then you can provide Tech Support with necessary data to facilitate troubleshooting of the problem without having to install software or download tools from Dell and without having access to the Internet from the server operating system or iDRAC. You can send the data from an alternate system and be certain that the data collected from your server is not viewable by non-authorized individuals during the transmission to Tech Support. You can generate a health report of the server and then export the report to a location on the management station (local) or to a shared network location such as Common Internet File System (CIFS) or Network File Share (NFS). You can then share this report directly with the Tech Support. To export to a network share such as CIFS or NFS, direct network connectivity to the iDRAC shared or dedicated network port is required. The report is generated in the standard ZIP format. The report contains information that is similar to the information available in the DSET report such as: • Hardware inventory for all components • System, Lifecycle Controller, and component attributes • Operating system and application information • Active Lifecycle Controller logs Troubleshooting managed system using iDRAC 275

If you have to work with Tech Support on an issue with a server but the security policies restrict direct internet connection, then you can
provide Tech Support with necessary data to facilitate troubleshooting of the problem without having to install software or download tools
from Dell and without having access to the Internet from the server operating system or iDRAC. You can send the data from an alternate
system and be certain that the data collected from your server is not viewable by non-authorized individuals during the transmission to
Tech Support.
You can generate a health report of the server and then export the report to a location on the management station (local) or to a shared
network location such as Common Internet File System (CIFS) or Network File Share (NFS). You can then share this report directly with
the Tech Support. To export to a network share such as CIFS or NFS, direct network connectivity to the iDRAC shared or dedicated
network port is required.
The report is generated in the standard ZIP format. The report contains information that is similar to the information available in the DSET
report such as:
