System Support Information for Troubleshooting

The show support-info command allows you to gather a set of information commonly requested by Oracle Support when troubleshooting customer issues.

The show support-info syntax is as follows:

show support-info [custom | standard | media | signaling] [config] [file-only]

• custom—Uses the /code/supportinfo.cmds file to determine what commands should be encompassed. If the file does not exist, then the system notifies you.
• standard—Displays information for all commands the show support-info command encompasses.
• media—Executes and writes out only the show media commands to the support-info.log file.
• signaling—Executes and writes all but the ACLI commands that display signaling data to the support-info.log file.
• config—Add the show running-config output to the output of the standard arguments.
• file-only—Disables the output of commands to stdout and instead appends that output to the file support-info.log.

In all cases, the system displays the command’s output on the screen and writes the output to the support-log.info file (stored in /opt/logs).

Each time the show support-info command is executed a new support-info.log file is created. The previous support-info.log file is renamed by appending a .1 to the end of the file name. All additional support-info.log files are renamed to their previous number, plus 1. The Oracle Communications Session Border Controller maintains up to 6 support-info files: support-info.log and support-info.log.1 through support-info.log.5.

For example, when executing the show support-info command, a new support-info.log file is created. The existing support-info.log file is renamed to support-info.log.1. The existing support-info.log.1 file is renamed to support-info.log.2, and so on. If a support-info.log.5 exists prior to executing the show support-info command, it is deleted from the system when rotating the files.

The show support-info command combines the output of several ACLI commands into a single command. These include:

Using the ACLI show support-info command

To gather and ship information to Oracle Support using the show support-info command:

1. Select a meaningful filename for the file to which you will send data.
2. In either User or Superuser mode, type show support-info at the prompt. Include the name of the file you want to send the information to as follows:

   ORACLE# show support-info 10102006

3. SFT the file to Oracle Support.

support-info command

To Display information on the screen gathered from the show support-info command:

1. In either User or Superuser mode, type show support-info at the prompt. Include more if you want to view the information one page at a time.

   ORACLE# show support-info more

2. At the prompt at the bottom of the window, select one of the following ways to view further information:

   • Enter a q to exit and return to the system prompt

   • Press the <enter> key to view the next page

   • Press the <space> bar to view the information through the end

System Configuration Listing

The show support info command can append the complete running config output (show running-config) to the end of the support output file by adding the config argument to the end of any show support-info command, except show support-info custom. For example:

ORACLE# show support-info standard config

SLB Information

The following show commands have been added so that more SLB-related debug information is available in the show support-info output.

• show sip tunnels is added to show support-info and show support-info signaling
• show sip ccp is added to show support-info and show support-info signaling
• show sip lb-endpoints is added to show support-info and show support-info signaling

The following changes have been made to avoid this situation on the Oracle Session Load Balancer image (LCX image):

• show ccd ccp is added show support-info
