of capture.


Safe – Use Safe if you are capturing data on a Boot from SAN system.

Full – Includes all available captures, but results in a system and adapter reboot.
Use only if needed.

Custom – Automatically selected when you do a custom pick of components to
capture in the checkbox list.
7. Click Capture.
After OneCapture collects the data, it generates a zipped file in the default directory
or one that you specified. Open that file to view the information.
OneCapture for VMware ESXi Locally
Before obtaining a OneCapture on VMware ESXi locally:

For VMware systems, the Emulex CIM Provider must be installed before
running OneCapture. If the Emulex CIM Provider is not installed before
running OneCapture, OneCapture cannot collect complete system information;
such as adapter core dumps.

You must enable the ESXi shell.
