Automatic trace dump transfers You can set up a switch so that diagnostic information is transferred automatically to a remote server. If a problem occurs, you can then 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: • Specifying a remote server to store the files. • Enabling 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.) • Setting up a periodic checking of the remote server so that you are alerted if the server becomes unavailable and you can correct the problem. After the setup is complete, you can run the supportSave -c command to save RASLog, TRACE, supportShow, core file, FFDC data and other diagnostic support information to the server without specifying server details. The following procedures describe the tasks for setting up automatic transfer.
