McDATA® 4Gb SAN Switch for HP p-Class BladeSystem command line interface guide 15
Setting page breaks
Some display commands deliver so much information to the screen that it scrolls off too quickly to read it.
You can limit the display to 20 lines by turning on page breaks. By default, page breaks are turned off.
The following is an example of how to turn page breaks on and off:
McDATA4GbSAN #> set pagebreak on
McDATA4GbSAN $> set pagebreak off
See the ”Set Pagebreak command” on page 161.
Creating a support file
If you contact technical support about a problem with your switch, they may request that you create and
send a support file. This support file contains all of the switch configuration information that can be helpful
in diagnosing the problem. The Create Support command creates the support file (dump_support.tgz)
on the switch. If your workstation has an FTP server, you can proceed with the command prompts to send
the file from the switch to a remote host. Otherwise, you can use FTP to download the support file from the
switch to your workstation.
The following example creates a support file and sends it to a remote host if your workstation has an FTP
server:
McDATA4GbSAN #> create support
Log Msg:[Creating the support file - this will take several seconds]
