Parameters

-action warmstart | saveuilogs | odd | oddlite

(Required) The administrative action to be completed.

warmstart

The -action warmstart parameter initiates a warmstart on the storage image, which causes the storage image to collect microcode data that is useful in diagnosing problems. This action is restricted to the following usage rules:

• This action must be used only under the direction of your technical support representative.
• You must be in interactive mode to enter this action. You cannot enter this action while in single shot mode or from a script.
• Five minutes must pass before you can reissue the -action warmstart parameter.
• If you enter the -action warmstart parameter more than 10 times during a 24-hour period, the warmstart does not collect the microcode diagnostic data.

saveuilogs

The -action saveuilogs parameter offloads DS CLI logs to the Hardware Management Console and saves DS Network Interface, DS CLI, and DS8000® Storage Management GUI logs. All of the user interface log files can then be retrieved with a PE package.

odd

The -action odd parameter initiates an “on-demand dump” request.

oddlite

The -action oddlite parameter initiates a lightweight “on-demand dump” request.

-quiet

(Optional) Turns off the diagnostic control confirmation prompt for this command.

storage_image_ID | -

(Required) The fully qualified storage image ID. The storage image ID consists of manufacturer, machine type, and serial number.

If you use the dash (-), the specified value is read from standard input. However, you cannot use the dash (-) if you are using the DS CLI interactive mode.
