Manage Cloud Failover Appliance boot reporting

On this page

Turn on boot reporting

  1. Log in to the Management Console of the Cloud Failover Appliance (CFA).

  2. Go to the Support tab.

  3. In the Run box, enter the following command:

    systemctl enable systemd-bootchart.service
    

    Click Execute to run the command.

    Turn on boot reporting

  4. Restart the CFA.

Now, when the CFA starts, the system will generate the boot report as an SVG file named bootchart-YYYYMMDD-HHMM.svg (where YYYYMMDD-HHMM is the current CFA system date and time) in the /run/log/ directory.

Every time the CFA starts, the system deletes the previous report, and generates a new one.

Retrieve boot report

On the computer located on the same network as the CFA, open the command-line interpreter (for example, Command Prompt, Shell, Terminal, or else), and run the following command:

scp root@cfa.ip.address:/run/log/bootchart-*.svg ./local/path/

where cfa.ip.address is the IP address of the CFA, and ./local/path/ is the destination on your computer to copy the boot report to.

Turn off boot reporting

  1. Log in to the CFA Management Console.

  2. Go to the Support tab.

  3. In the Run box, enter the following command:

    systemctl disable systemd-bootchart.service
    

    Click Execute to run the command.

    Turn off boot reporting

  4. Restart the CFA.

    The system deletes the existing boot report from /run/log/, and will not generate new reports on the next CFA boot.
