The iDRAC9 SupportAssist utility can create a SupportAssist collection, also known as a Technical Support Report (TSR). The iDRAC provides an application interface for gathering platform information that enables support services to resolve platform problems. The iDRAC generates a SupportAssist collection of the system. It saves the collection locally. The SupportAssist collection, or Technical Support Report, can then be used to troubleshoot a system.
Click Maintenance, and then click SupportAssist (Figure 1).
Note: If the server is not registered for SupportAssist, the SupportAssist Registration Wizard is displayed. Registration is optional. If registration is not wanted, click Cancel, and then click Cancel Registration. Registration must be completed to automatically send the collection to Dell Support.
Click Start a Collection (Figure 1).
Select the datasets to include in the collection. Optionally, proceed with the default selection.
Note: OS and Application Data requires the iDRAC Service Module (iSM) be installed and running. For more information, reference Support for Dell iDRAC Service Module. iSM is an optional software application that can include relevant OS and Application Data in the SupportAssist collection. The Operating System and Application Data option is disabled and not selectable if either the iDRAC Service Module is not installed and running or if the Operating System BMC/iDRAC Passthrough is disabled in the iDRAC.
Collection Preferences: Select datasets that should be filtered for Personally Identifiable Information (Figure 2).
