Report Switch VPD Information
(Switch) This will run the iba_switch_admin hwvpd command to provide the
Virtual Product Data (VPD) for all the selected switches. This information can be
useful for inventory and asset control as well as to provide details about the
product to customer support.
The information reported by this option includes:
 Serial Number
 Part Number
 Model Number
 Hardware Version
 Manufacturer
 Product description
 Manufacturer ID code
 Manufacture date
 Manufacture time of day
If information fails to be reported for any switches, use the View
iba_switch_admin result files option to review the result files from the update.
Refer to FastFabric Command Line Interface Reference Guide for more details.
Generate All Switch Problem Report Info
(Switch) This menu item runs the captureall -n -S -p command to collect
configuration and status information from all selected switches, then generates a
single
*.tgz file that can be sent to Technical Support.
View iba_switch_admin result files
(All) This permits viewing of the test.log and test.res files that reflect the
results from
iba_switch_admin runs (such as those for updating Switch
Firmware or rebooting all switches per menu items above). The user is also given
the option to remove these files after viewing them.
If not removed, subsequent runs of
iba_chassis_admin, iba_host_admin or
iba_switch_admin from within the current directory will continue to append to
these files.
