Creating Support Bundles

Offline Environments     Online Environments

Support bundles include relevant log files, current configuration, and license server and operating system information that are useful for HP Anyware Support in diagnosing problems and recommending actions. You may be asked by your HP Anyware Support representative for a support bundle while troubleshooting.

Support bundles are created using the pcoip-support-bundler command. You must have superuser (sudo) permissions to use this command.

This command requires the HP Anyware License Server's administrative password. You can provide the password inline using -p. If you do not provide the password on the command line, you will be prompted for it.

To generate a support bundle:

  1. Invoke the pcoip-support-bundler command.

    sudo pcoip-support-bundler
    

    Running with an empty password

    It is possible to run this command using a blank password (using -p with no argument). In this case, the bundler will exclude some information from the generated support bundle.

  2. Find the generated .tar.gz output in the /tmp directory:

    /tmp/pcoip-license-server-support-bundle-<date-time>.tar.gz
