The SMcli -autoSupportLog command allows you to view an AutoSupport log file. This file provides information about status, history of transmission activity, and any errors encountered during delivery of the AutoSupport messages. The log is available for all AutoSupport-capable and AutoSupport-enabled storage arrays.

Supported Arrays

This command applies to all E2700 and E5600 storage arrays in the management domain at once. It does not apply to E4000, E2800, or E5700 storage arrays.

Context

This command allows you to view two types of logs:

  • Current log- View the log captured at this point in time.

  • Archive log- View the log from an archived file.

Note

This command is an SMcli command, not a script command. You must run this command from a command line. You cannot run this command from the script editor in the storage management software.
