Initiating Support Save through a port crash event
If the port crashes and triggers a port crash event, Support Save data is collected at a system-wide
level. An Application Log message is generated with the following message:
Port Crash Support Save Completed
Port crash events have a CRITICAL severity and you can view the details in the Master Log and
Application Log tables in HCM.
Support Save differences
Following are differences in data collection for the HCM, BCU, and browser applications of
bfa_supportsave:
•
BCU - Collects driver-related logs, HCM Agent information, and configuration files.
•
Browser - Collects driver-related and HCM Agent logs and configuration files.
•
HCM - Collects HCM application data, driver information, HCM Agent logs, and configuration
files.
NOTE
Master and Application logs are saved when Support Save is initiated through HCM, but not through
BCU.
