Collecting BMC Log Files

Scenario
Collect BMC log files of a remote server using the local console (which refers to the laptop
running Windows of a service engineer).
 If the iMana 200 version is earlier than V720, only administrator root supports BMC log
collection in one-click mode.
 If the iMana 200 version is V720 or later, all administators support BMC log collection in
one-click mode.
 All administrators on the iBMC platform support BMC log collection in one-click mode.

Pre-requisites
Conditions
 A Huawei rack or high-density server is available.
 The InfoCollect directory has sufficient available disk space for storing collected log files.
 The IP address of the management network port on the target server must be pinged.

Procedure
1. Go to the InfoCollect_GUI folder. Figure 3-1 shows the files in the folder.
Figure 3-1 Files in the InfoCollect_GUI folder

2. Right-click InfoCollect.exe and choose Run as administrator.

The window shown in Figure 3-2 is displayed. Table 3-1 describes BMC


Info parameters.

Information Parameter Description

BMC Info BMC IP BMC IP address of the target server.

User Name BMC user name of the target server. The default
value is root.

Password Password for logging in to the BMC of the target


server using the network port IP address.

SSH Port The default value is 22. It must be the same as the
SSH port number of the target server.

3. Deselect OS Info, and enter the BMC IP address, user name, and password in
the BMC Info area.

The BMC log collection window is displayed, as shown in Figure 3-3.

 NOTE:

 Set User Name to an administrator (for example, root) for collecting log files.

 By default, you need to set only the BMC IP address, user name, and password for
the InfoCollect tool. If advanced settings are required, you need to modify
the SystemConfig.ini file (for professional users) in the FusionServer Tools-
InfoCollect-V125\InfoCollect_GUI\config directory. Figure 3-4 shows
the SystemConfig.ini file.

4. Click Start.

Log file collection starts. See Figure 3-5.
