B Support information
The HP FlexFabric 5900CP switch provides various display capabilities. You can use the displays
to identify issues by viewing configurations, port status summaries, and more in-depth information
about each port.
By default, the switch updates a logfile once a day. You can generate a g-zipped tar file using
the display diagnostic CLI command and export this file for review. Two files are required for
support:
•
the configuration file—
startup.cfg
•
logfile—
logfile.log
These text files are stored in
flash:/startup.cfg
and
flash:/logfile/logfile.log
.
The name of the configuration file can be different if you have changed it. You must have a backup
copy of the configuration file. Ensure that the current configuration is saved to a
.cfg
file before
requesting support.
Following are some useful CLI commands:
•
display current
•
display version
•
display interface brief
•
display interface
•
display zone status
•
display fcf login
•
display fcs database
•
display vsan nnn port-member
•
display npv login
•
display counters inbound interface
•
display counters outbound interface
These CLI commands help you to view the information and identify the issue quickly.
In the following examples, two configuration files are named after the switch number. The
config87.cfg
file is the primary file representing how the switch is presently configured.
