Use the Listing Dumps panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to
display various types of log and dump files that are available on
the configuration node.
Introduction
To
display details on a log, click on the file name to display text-based
log files within the Web browser. If there is at least one file of
a particular type, a link is displayed.
If you click on a file
that contains binary data, a file-download prompt is displayed. If
you want to copy the files to your workstation, right-click on the
file name and use the
Save file as option (for Internet Explorer)
of the Web browser. Another option deletes one or all of the log files.
Note: If there is more than one node in the cluster, a button
is displayed to list a summary of the log and dump files on other
nodes in the cluster. To access these files, you must copy the files
from the other node to the equivalent directory on the configuration
node. After you copy them to the configuration node, you can view
or download them.
