The Save Platform Debug Logs menu is used to help you troubleshoot a system failure. You can adjust two settings to limit the size of the saved log files.
Information saved in the logs includes the current state of all logs, all the configuration files, all the system procedure entries, and several miscellaneous files. Output from this process is a single tar/gzip file.
To use the menu:
- Log in to the platcfg utility using one of two methods, either from the system console using root or through an SSH remote session using admusr.
- Select Policy Configuration from the Main Menu screen and press Enter.
- Select Save Platform Debug Logs from the Policy Configuration Menu screen and press Enter.
- In the screen that opens, enter values for the following fields:
- Select OK and press Enter to save variable changes and generate the tar/gzip file.
The file is generated and saved in the location you specified.
