6. In the Export Telemetry Log page, the following attributes are displayed:
● Host Name
● Path
● File Name — In this text box, you can provide a custom file name for the log file. The export telemetry log file is saved
with a .bin file extension and the file extension cannot be overwritten by any other file extension entered by the user.
The default file name is NVME_TELEMETRY_<serial_no>_<monthdayhourminutesecond>.bin.
NOTE: You cannot use MS-DOS reserved words and special characters in the custom file name. For more
information on MS-DOS reserved words, see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/71843. For more
information on valid and invalid special characters, see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/177506.
7. Click Export Telemetry Log to export the file.
On VMware ESXi, OMSS stores the exporting telemetry logs for NVMe devices on persistent scratch location. The
persistent scratch location, /scratch/log, stores the telemetry log files and the /var/log contains a link to that
log file. If a persistent scratch location on the ESXi host is not properly configured, then this might be a problem in
low-memory situations. VMware ESXi may experience intermittent issues due to lack of space. For more information, see

Performing A Cryptographic Erase On An NVMe PCIe SSD
NOTE: The virtual disk with RAID 10 configuration cannot be created for the selected number of physical disks. Please refer
OpenManage CLI guide for details.
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
NOTE:
After you hot plug an NVMe PCIe SSD, the NVMe PCIe SSD may take several seconds to be displayed on Storage
Management.
CAUTION: Cryptographic Erase permanently erases all data present on the disk.
Performing a Cryptographic Erase on an NVMe PCIe SSD overwrites all blocks and results in permanent loss of all data on the
NVMe PCIe SSD. During Cryptographic Erase, the host is unable to access the NVMe PCIe SSD.
NOTE:
If the system reboots or experiences a power loss during Cryptographic Erase, the operation is canceled. You must
reboot the system and restart the process.
NOTE: Storage Management only performs the Cryptographic Erase task and does not report the status of the task. On
some NVMe devices the Storage Management performs Sanitize cryptographic erase task. There is a delay observed in
reporting the alert on Sanitize cryptographic erase when compared to the Cryptographic Erase.
NOTE: Cryptographic Erase operation is not supported on Intel P4800X.
