Use the sepffdc to view the set of diagnostic information that is captured automatically when errors occur.

Synopsis

sepffdc

Description

The sepffdc command automatically gathers log files and trace files whenever a system error occurs. This information reduces the need to reproduce errors to get diagnostic information. The sepffdc command creates the sepffdc.zip file at /var/seprovider/tmp/ with the updated log files (subscriber.out, sys.discover.out, activity.log, and trace.log).

Usage

To view the log files, follow these steps:
  1. Log in to the IBM® PowerKVM system.
  2. In command line, go to /opt/ibm/seprovider/bin.
  3. Run the command sepffdc.
