Collect H3C server RAID card logs without affecting the user"s original operating system.

Commonly used RAID card log collection method is to install tools to collect under the user"s system, PMC card using arcconf tool, LSI card using storcli tool. If the user does not accept the installation of tools under the current system, can accept a downtime, you can use the remote console to mount the LiveGNOME version of the image file, with the help of a small linux system to boot, and collect logs, the machine restarts and does not affect the user"s original system.

1. Mount the image file CentOS-7-x86_64-LiveGNOME-1810.iso in HDM remote console, boot from Virtual CDROM, and select the first item to directly enter the LiveGNOME system, which will be loaded into the memory and run, but not installed on the hard disk, so that the next boot will not affect the user"s original system.

2. Select the system language and keyboard language.

3. Enter the system and collect the RAID card logs."

3.1 LSI RAID cards.

(1) Install the storcli tool: rpm -ivh storcli-007.0709.0000.0000-1.noarch.rpm

(2) The installation directory for the storcli utility is /opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64, copy it to this directory.

(3) Collect logs: /opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 /c0 show termlog >/usr/bin/filename.txt

                          /opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 /c0 show events >/usr/bin/filename.txt

The termlog log records all the log information from the initialization of the RAID card, while the event log records the actions of the RAID card and the hard disk in the form of events. The collected RAID card logs (termlog log and event log) are stored in the /usr/bin directory (the directory and file name can be specified arbitrarily), and then copied from a USB flash drive.

3.2 PMC RAID card logging

(1) Place the no-installation arcconf tool in any directory (pictured here as /home/liveuser/Desktop).

(2) Cut to that directory and chmod +x arcconf to give execution permissions.

(3). /arcconf savesupportarchive Collects RAID card logs.

(4) The RAID card logs are stored in the directory /var/log/Support by default, copy all the files under Support to a USB flash drive.
