you describe a wrong problem, you might end up with the original problem still present after technical support have already put significant effort into investigating and finding a solution to another problem.

Log and debug traces of the problem

Reproduce the problem with debugging enabled — for details, see Debugging FSE processes” on page 275. Save the evidence, such as wrong command output or strange error messages, and send it for lab investigation.

Note that without knowing the contents of the fse.log and error.log files, technical support cannot start investigating the problem.

Reproduction procedure

Write down the procedure for reproducing the problem. This is important for technical support to be able to investigate and solve the problem.

Workaround discovered?

If you managed to develop your own workaround, describe it and add the description as a part of your problem report. It might be a useful hint to technical support and other users, or it can lead to an even better solution.

System information

Linux specific

Use the /opt/fse/sbin/tools/fse_sysinfo.sh script to collect data about the system the FSE software is running on. The output is shown on stdout, and stored in the file /var/opt/fse/log/Hostname_info.log. Send this file and the contents of the directory /var/opt/fse/cfg to technical support.

Windows specific

Use System Information to collect data about the system. Click Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Information to open System Information. From the Action menu, select the Save As System Information option and send the file to technical support.

One archive package

Pack everything collected in previous steps into a .tar file (on Linux platform) or .zip file (on Windows platform). It is easier to handle one file per problem. This way you make sure technical support receive everything you provide for problem investigation.

Contact

See HP technical support” on page 8.

Technical support will contact you as soon as possible, depending on the data you provide and especially on the problem you reported.
