Collect log files with mxcollect
The mxcollect utility collects error event logs that can be useful for diagnosing
technical issues with HP Scalable NAS. When you report a problem to HP Support,
you may be asked to run the mxcollect utility and then send the logs to HP for
analysis.
Run mxcollect
You will need to run mxcollect on each node. The command is in the following
directory and can be run from that location:
/opt/hpcfs/lib/apache/cgi-bin/pmxs/mxcollect
You can also run the command from the HP Scalable NAS web server. Start the web
server as follows and specify your authentication credentials if asked for them.
https://<node name or IP address>:6771/cgi-bin/pmxs
On the web server, click mxcollect to run the utility.
When run from the web server, the command collects the appropriate information
from the node, creates a zip file, and then downloads the zip file to your download
location on the node. If you run the command directly, it will report the location of
the zip file.
