three files in a TAR file named
FTDCn.nn.TAR
. Locate the appropriate file on the
internet or on the CD provided with your RAID Controller.
Download or copy the file into a directory you will use to run the program. If you
are installing the FTDC Utility on a Windows PC, run the
FTDCn.nn.EXE
program
to extract the files. If you are installing the FTDC Utility on a Linux workstation,
run the TAR utility to extract the files.
In Windows, the First Time Data Capture Utility program file is named ftdc.exe .
The corresponding file in Linux is named ftdc . The file transfer program FTX is
named ftx.exe in Windows and ftx in Linux. Its associated file definitions are
named
fTXFileDefs
(this name applies to both environments) and must be in the
same directory as the FTDC Utility executable program.
FTDC Utility records its actions in a log file. For each execution of the program, It
also records the starting time and the program version. As the FTDC Utility
collects each group of files it records in the log, the files that were collected for that
group. If there are no files for a file group, the FTDC Utility records that fact in the
log as well. The log file contains a minimal amount of information for each
execution of the utility. Information from consecutive executions of the FTDC
Utility are appended to the file. If the file becomes too large, you can delete the
file.
Note: Do not delete the log file while the FTDC Utility is running.
Command line parameters
This section describes the First Time Data Capture Utility command line
parameters . If you input the
-help
parameter, or no parameters, theFTDC Utility
displays the following usage message and takes no further action:
Usage:
ftdc –version
ftdc –help
ftdc -ip <adrs> [-allowoffline]
[-ldir <local dir>] [-log <file name>] [-pwd <password>]
The command line parameters presented in this message are:
-version
Displays the version number of the program. No other parameters are
allowed on the command line when requesting the program version.
-help Displays the usage message. No other parameters are allowed on the
command line when requesting program help.
-ip This parameter must be followed by the IP address of either controller in
the IBM BladeCenter S chassis. The First Time Data Capture Utility
automatically obtains the IP address of the other controller.
-allowoffline
If the user enters this parameter, the FTDC Utility examines the state of the
two controllers. If either of the controllers is hung in an intermediate state
for an extended period of time, the FTDC Utility forces the controller to
restart, and then collects the resulting support information. The first time
you run the FTDC Utility, run it without entering this parameter. In some
situations, the utility directs you to halt host system I/O traffic, then
re-invoke the FTDC Utility and enter this parameter. Keep in mind that the
First Time Data Capture Utility may disrupt host I/O operation. Do not
enter this parameter unless directed to do so by the program.
