Exporting Lifecycle Log

Use the Export Lifecycle Log feature to export the Lifecycle Log information to a compressed file (.gz format) that has log files in an .xml file. You can save the XML file in a USB drive or on a network share. For more information about the schema, see en.community.dell.com/techcenter/extras/m/white_papers/20270305. Before exporting the Lifecycle Log, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
  • To export the file to a USB drive, make sure that a USB drive is connected to the managed server.
  • To export the file to a network share (shared folder), set the correct network settings. For more information, see Configuring Network Settings For A NIC.
    NOTE: As the system events are generated by various systems management tools, you may not view the events in log immediately after they were logged.
    NOTE: The log data is exported to a compressed file (.gz format) only if iDRAC version 1.50.50 or later is installed. Else, the data is exported as an .xml file.

To export the Lifecycle Log:

  1. Start Lifecycle Controller. For more information, see Starting Lifecycle Controller.
  2. In the left pane, click Lifecycle Log.
  3. In the right pane, click Export Lifecycle Log.
  4. Select either USB Drive or Network Share.
    For more information, see Exporting Lifecycle Log To A USB Drive or Exporting Lifecycle Log To A Network Share.

    When you select Network Share, to verify connection, click Test Network Connection. Lifecycle Controller pings the Gateway IP, DNS server IP, and host IP.

    NOTE: Lifecycle Controller cannot ping the domain name and cannot display the IP address if the DNS is not able to resolve the domain name. Make sure that the issue with DNS is resolved and retry.
  5. Click Finish.
    The Lifecycle Log is exported to the specified location.
