Viewing and Exporting Lifecycle Controller Logs Before You Begin

Before you begin viewing or exporting the Lifecycle Controller logs for a single system or a collection:

• If the Lifecycle Controller on the target systems is running other tasks such as firmware update, operating system

deployment, firmware configurations, exporting a system profile or importing a system profile, wait for the tasks to

complete before you retrieve the logs.

• Check the permissions on the network share and make sure the share is accessible from the Lifecycle Controller on

the target systems.

Viewing and Exporting Lifecycle Controller Logs Workflow

1. To view the Lifecycle Controller logs of a single target system, launch the System Viewer Utility. To view the

Lifecycle Controller logs of a collection of systems, launch the Config Utility. For more information, see System

Viewer Utility or Configuration Utility.

2. Select View Lifecycle Controller Logs on the System Viewer Utility or the Config Utility.

3. For a single system, see Viewing Lifecycle Controller Logs.

4. For a collection, see Viewing and Exporting Lifecycle Controller Logs for a Collection.

Working With NIC or CNA Profiles
