Chapter 4: Data collection required for

Technical Support cases

Use the following sections to learn about how to gather information before you contact Avaya for

technical support.

Data collection for an outage

Perform the following data collection procedures when Avaya Virtual Services Platform 4000 Series

is in an outage condition and you require Avaya Technical Support to perform a root cause analysis.

Collecting data before you restart

About this task

Perform this procedure before you restart the chassis.

Procedure

1. Capture the current state of the chassis:

terminal more disable

show tech

2. Capture Flight Recorder trace information.

flight-recorder all 1

This command executes three separate commands: flight-recorder snapshot,

flight-recorder trace, and flight-recorder archive.

3. Reset the chassis:

reset —y

4. Continue with Collecting data after you restart on page 20.
