B Support information
The HP FlexFabric 5900CP switch provides various display capabilities. You can use the displays
to identify issues by viewing configurations, port status summaries, and more in-depth information
about each port.
By default, the switch updates a logfile once a day. You can generate a g-zipped tar file using
the display diagnostic CLI command and export this file for review. Two files are required for
support:
the configuration file—startup.cfg
logfile—logfile.log
These text files are stored in flash:/startup.cfg and flash:/logfile/logfile.log.
The name of the configuration file can be different if you have changed it. You must have a backup
copy of the configuration file. Ensure that the current configuration is saved to a .cfg file before
requesting support.
NOTE: Generate a support file as follows:
[5900cp]display diag
Save or display diagnostic information
(Y=save, N=display)? [Y/N]:y
Input the file name
(*.tar.gz)[flash:/ diag.tar.gz]:
