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.
