9.3.8 Custom Diagnostic Package for Storage Server Alerts

Oracle Exadata Storage Servers automatically collect customized diagnostic packages that include relevant logs and traces upon generating a cell alert. This applies to all cell alerts, including both hardware alerts and software alerts. The timely collection of the diagnostic information prevents rollover of critical logs.

Management Server (MS) sends the diagnostic package as an email attachment for every email alert. You can access the following URL to download an existing diagnostic package if the email attachment is misplaced. In the following URL, hostname refers to the host name of the cell.

https://hostname/diagpack

You can also download the packages using ExaCLI.

You can create hourly custom diagnostic packages by providing the start time and duration using the CREATE DIAGPACK CellCLI command.

For details, see CREATE DIAGPACK in the Oracle Exadata System Software User's Guide.
