supportSave
The supportSave command collects debug information needed from the driver.
The captured debug information can be saved to the local filesystem and then sent to the supplier
for further investigation. The information that is captured is detailed in Table 19 .
The default location to where supportSave output is saved is under the IP address of the host from
which it was collected, relative to the HCM installation directory. For example:
•HCM Installation DIR\data\10.32.116.1\supportSave
•C:\Program Files\BROCADE\FCHBA\client\data\10.32.116.1\supportSave

•bfa_supportsave
to create and save the su pportsave at /tm p
•bfa_supportsave_dir
to create and save the su pportsave unde r <dir>
•bfa_supportsave <dir> <ss_file_name>
to create and save the supportsave under <dir> as the file name <ss_file_name>. If
<ss_file_name> already exists, it will be overwritten.
