Starting immediate technical support information collection
Technical SupportSave uses the built-in FTP, SCP, or SFTP server configured on the Management
server to save data. If the switch is running Fabric OS 5.3.X or later, the Management application
uses the SCP server to save data, if configured. If the switch is running Fabric OS 7.1 or later, the
Management application uses the SFTP server to save data, if configured. To make sure the built-in
FTP, SCP, or SFTP server is configured correctly, refer to
“Configuring an external FTP, SCP, or SFTP
server” on page 128.
NOTE
Fabric OS switches must be running Fabric OS 5.2.X or later to collect technical support data.
NOTE
The HBA must be a managed Brocade HBA.
NOTE
You must have the SupportSave privilege to perform this task. For more information about privileges,
refer to
