Issue/Introduction

If you suspect a hardware issue with either the Dell MD3860 or the NetApp storage, a troubleshooting support bundle will be required if opening a case with Broadcom support.

  • Double click on the array in question
  • On the Summary tab, click the link for "Collect Support Data Manually"

  • Give the bundle a name and click Start

  • The collection of the bundle will take some time to complete.

  • Once complete, click OK

NetApp (using SANtricity)

  • Launch SANtricity on a Windows workstation (SANtricity software can be downloaded from HERE)
