SupportAssist Enterprise Version 2.0 Quick Setup Guide

Upload a collection from a disconnected site

About this task

When internet connectivity is available, SupportAssist Enterprise automatically collects and sends system information from your devices to Dell. If the server where SupportAssist Enterprise is installed does not have internet connectivity, you can choose to manually upload collections to Dell.

Steps

  1. Perform a collection from the device. See Start the collection of system information from a device.
  2. If the collection was performed by SupportAssist Enterprise:
    • For storage, networking, or multiple device collections only — On the Collections page, select the collection, and in the collection overview pane, click Download File.
    • For other device collections, depending on the operating system, you can access the collection .zip file at the following location:
      • Windows — <Drive where SupportAssist Enterprise is installed>:\Program Files\Dell\SupportAssist\reports
      • Linux — /opt/dell/supportassist/reports
    • If the collection was performed by a Remote Collector, log in to the server where the Remote Collector is installed. Depending on the operating system, you can access the collection .zip file at the following location:
      • Windows — <System drive of the remote system>:\Program Files\Dell\SupportAssist\reports
      • Linux — /opt/dell/supportassist/reports
  3. Copy and paste the collection .zip file to another system that has internet connectivity.
  4. Visit https://techdirect.dell.com/fileUpload/
    The Dell EMC Technical Support File Upload page is displayed.
  5. Type the Service Tag of the device.
  6. Type your company name, contact name, Service Request #, email address, Dell contact email, and address in the appropriate fields.
    NOTE: If you do not have a Service Request number, contact Technical Support to open a service request.
  7. Click Choose File and browse to select the collection .zip file.
  8. Click Submit.
