    Saving Logs to an External USB Drive Using the CLI

    Before You Begin

    • To start running CLI commands, choose the Offline Diagnostic (CLI) option from the Cisco UCS ME Server Diagnostics splash screen, or click the Enter CLI mode button from the GUI mode.

    • Ensure that you have a USB drive with adequate space available to save logs.

    Procedure
      Step 1   Plug the USB drive.
      Step 2   From the menu bar choose Virtual Media > Map Removable Disk....

      Virtual Media - Map Removable Disk window is displayed.

      Step 3   Select the USB disk drive from the drop-down list.
      Note   

      Ensure that the USB is not open or accessed by any other program on the computer. If the USB is being accessed, it mounts as a read only disk. You cannot save logs in a USB which is in read only mode.

      Step 4   Click Map Device.
      Step 5   diag# saveusb
      Step 6   Press Enter to confirm.

      The log files are saved in the external USB drive in a folder with timestamp.

      To view the saved files, first unmap the USB drive.

      Step 7   From the menu bar choose Virtual Media > Map Removable Disk....
      Step 8   Click Yes to confirm.

      You can now access the saved log file in the USB drive.

      The following example shows how to save logs: 
      diag# saveusb
