Manage Backup & Disaster Recovery appliance boot reporting

Turn on boot reporting

1. Log in to the Management Console of the Backup & Disaster Recovery appliance.

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.

   

4. Restart the appliance.

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

Every time the appliance 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 appliance, open the command-line interpreter (for example, Command Prompt, Shell, Terminal, or else), and run the following command:

scp root@ip_address:/run/log/bootchart-*.svg ./local/path/

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

Turn off boot reporting

1. Log in to the appliance 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.

   

4. Restart the appliance.

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