The vgc-diags utility saves support information, such as log files, system configuration, device configuration, and device
metadata into a single tgz archive file. Seagate support team may ask you to provide this support file when troubleshooting
technical issues.
Depending on the size of X8 Accelerator device, and number of X8 Accelerator devices installed on the system, the diags
dump file may grow up to a few GigaBytes. Insufficient disk space in the target path to store the diags may result in failure to
create the diags file.

On ESXi 5.x systems, the <outputpath> specified must be on a Datastore, as other
destination paths are ROMFS and non-persistent across reboots, with very limited
space. Using destination paths other than datastores may result in vgc-diags failure due
to lack of sufficient space.
~ # ./opt/vgc/bin/vgc-diags -h
vgc-diags: 3.2.55402.C7
Usage :
vgc-diags -p|--outputpath <dump directory> [-v |--verbose] [device list]
vgc-diags [-h|--help]
Options :
-h | --help
: display this help and exit
-v | --verbose
: verbose, dumps quite detailed information
-p | --outputpath : directory to save the diags file
device list
: list of devices in the format vgc[a,b,c...]
: default is all X8 Accelerator devices detected in the system
