IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node Introduction and Implementation Guide

IBM Flex System Chassis Management Module offers various powerful options to pull service 
information from the components in chassis. The 

 menu allows the user 

to view list of serviceable problems and their current status, enable and configure electronic 
Call Home capability, review detailed status about CMM’s health and connectivity, and 
generate as well as retrieve service data files from the chassis components.

For acquiring service data from the Storage Node, you can perform the following steps: 

��

From the top menu, select Service and Support



 Download Service Data, as shown 

in Figure 3-34.

��

The 

 page gives four options. We pick the Storage Node Service 

Data as shown in Figure 3-35.

This next window gives three options to dump the Storage Node Service Data. Description 
of all three is also provided, so user can easily choose the desired option. 

��

In our case, we click on the drop-down menu 

 then select 

. 

Choose the option 

, which allows storage node to initiate the 

generation of a new dump file on the compute node and overwrite any existing file. The 
CMM will then collect the dump file by transferring it from the node to the CMM file system. 
This is shown in Figure 3-36 on page 107.
