Using HP Data Protector Debug Log Collector Tool "Best Practices"

Verbose Collection
To collect and compress all debug, log, and getinfo files from the cell and pack them in the dlc.pck
file in the current directory on the Cell Manager, using verbose output, run:
omnidlc -no_filter –verbose
C:\>omnidlc -no_filter -verbose
Collection started: pack.
Collection from test.testdomain.test started.
Packing file: cons_ftsstats.log
Packing file: ctrace.log
. . .
Packing file: classspec
Packing file: userlist
Packing file: webaccess
Packing file: xcopy.cfg
Packing file: omni_format
Packing file: omni_info
Files from test.TESTDOMAIN.TEST packed.
Collection finished. Pack file dlc.pck
In the c
ommand window you will see which file is packed into the package.
Collection from specific clients to specific directory
To collect from the clients “client1.company.com” and “client2.company.com” to the
directory “c:\depot” on the Cell Manager, in this example without compressing and packing the
files, run:
omnidlc -no_filter -hosts client1.company.com client2.company.com -depot
c:\depot -no_compress
Cleanup hosts
To delete all debug log files for the session with the ID “2007/08/27-9”, run:
omnidlc -session 2007/08/27-9 -delete_dbg
Show needed disk space
To display disk space needed on the Cell Manager for the uncompressed debug files with the
debugID “2351” from the client “client.company.com”, run:
omnidlc -did 2351 -hosts client.company.com –space -no_getinfo -no_logs
-no_compress
Unpack dlc.pck
To unpack the “dlc.pck” file to the "dlc" directory of the current directory, run:
omnidlc –unpack
