diagnostics --collect [--dset]
Description
Collects the current system hardware diagnostics information that may be needed by Dell Support personnel using the --
dset (Dell E-Support Tool) option with the DR Series system CLI diagnostics --collect command.
The DSET log lets you collect hardware, storage, and operating system information from the Dell DR Series system
hardware appliance. This information is consolidated into a single System Configuration Report that can be used for
troubleshooting or inventory collection of a system. As part of the troubleshooting process, you may be asked to provide
a DSET log when you contact Dell Support.
The DSET log file is valuable to have when a smaller file is required and system hardware or firmware needs to be
evaluated. This will generally take between 5 and 10 minutes.

DSET collection might take about 10 minutes. Please wait...done.

diagnostics --collect [--logs]
Description
The command collects only logs and system configuration. Use the --logs option if a current system state is needed, but
file size needs to be smaller for FTP transfer to Dell Support. The --logs option puts the current system configuration in
the smallest file containing most of what Dell Support needs to start an investigation. File size can be reduced by
eliminating core dumps, DSET reports, and archive files.
