These will not be tarred or zipped into one file so it is important you create such an archive with a meaningful name. The supportsave will upload between 25 and 80 files depending on platform, Fabric OS level and enabled features to an FTP or SCP server. If you have a director class switch with two CP’s and/or core plus function blades it will also collect information from all the blades. The supportsave command is available as of Fabric OS version 4.4 however, Fabric OS versions (> 6.2.x) provide a significant better collection of logs which represent the status overview of the switch and fabric. When the problem is more sophisticated a supportsave from the switch is required. To create a new baseline with cleared counters do the following:Īfter the agreed (mostly around one hour) run-time capture a new supportsave and upload this to the vendor’s service request. Storage vendors for example require in these circumstances that a new baseline is created, a certain run-time has been achieved and separate commands are submitted against the suspected switch or switches. Brocade counters are cumulative and keep doing so until a certain counter wraps, a switch reboots or the statistics are manually cleared. If there is no sign of any obvious physical issue there might be link related problems which can identify performance problems and/or protocol related errors. Performance and Intermittent Error Related Issues Only on special occasions you will be asked to enable additional groups if necessary. The output from the “supportshowcfgshow” command shows which subscripts will be enabled. This can be configured with the “supportshowcfgenable ” and “supportshowcfgdisable ”. The amount and type of information displayed in a supportshow output is depending on the type of switch as well as the collection options enabled in the switch configuration. If the problem is multiswitch related (ISL connections, long distance configurations etc.) we need the supportsave from all relevant switches in the fabric. However, a more complex problem that involves Zoning, Performance, Reboots, CP Failovers, Fabric wide problems etc, requires a “SupportSave” type of collection. If the problem is related to basic “port issues”, a “supportshow” is sufficient. There are 2 types of Data Collection associated with Brocade switches, “supportshow” and “supportsave”. Switchstatuspolicyshow – Show config at when errors are flagged
Porterrshow – Like mpstat – shows port info Portstatsshow # – Show stats (netstat -s) on a port Misc Showĭiagshow – Show diagnostics – paged outputĮrrdump – Show diagnostics – no paged output Portperfshow – Show interface mode (duplex) Interfaceshow – Like unix ndd Performance Ifmodeshow – show interface mode (duplex) Zoneshow – Show zone and switch aliases IP Switchshow – Show switch ports and connections Supportshow – Like Sun’s explorer – gets many configs at once

Brocade commands are usually very easy to find out.
