144 Troubleshooting the Pathlight VX
Working with the Pathlight VX System State
The Capture State feature enables you to capture various sizes of log files for the Pathlight VX’s hardware
and software components. Use the procedures in this section to capture a Pathlight VX system state and
download it, as well as delete a system state capture.
Capturing a System State
Use the Capture System State feature to obtain and preserve detailed information about the current
Pathlight VX state. The Capture State feature enables you to capture three types of log files, Standard,
Extended, or Comprehensive. Refer to Downloading a System State
on page 146 to save the captured
system state to a local or network drive for troubleshooting purposes.
1 Click Tools Capture State.
The Tools - Capture System State screen appears and lists previous system state captures. For each
system state capture, the following information is listed:
Number - The number of the system state capture as assigned by Pathlight VX. The number is
serially assigned.
Captured State - The name of the system state capture as assigned by Pathlight VX.
Type - The type of system state capture, Standard, Extended or Comprehensive.
Size - The size of the system state capture.
2 Click Capture.
The Tools - Capture System State screen refreshes and lists the following options for the size of the
system state capture:
Standard - The Standard system state capture does not include FC blade log files. A Standard
system state capture produces the smallest file size.
Extended - The Extended system state capture includes a limited number set of FC blade log files.
An Extended system state capture produces an intermediate file size.
Comprehensive - The Comprehensive system state capture includes all log files and interrupts
current I/O activity to and from the Pathlight VX. A Comprehensive system state capture produces
the largest file size.

Pathlight VX.
