| Cause | If the appliance takes longer than 6 minutes to finish, then the script will timeout before the “tsr.zip” can be created.
If any part of the TSR_Collect job fails, then the “tsr.zip” file cannot be created, and this is not detected by the command-line script. |
| Workaround | Generating the TSR Report via the iDRAC UI is often more successful, or will show where the job has failed.
- Review the status of the command-line command to generate the TSR Report in the iDRAC UI.
Example screenshots are for the NetWitness Series 5 appliance.
After login to the iDRAC UI, check the TSR_Collect Job Queue status in, Overview > Server, Job Queue tab
If the TSR_Collect job is still running, then wait for it to complete.
- If the TSR_Collect job has failed, review the message for a reason.
In the above example, SYS165 indicates a Tech Support Report (TSR) data collection option did not complete successfully.
Reference: Event and Error Message Reference Guide For 13th Generation Dell PowerEdge Servers Version 1.50
Ensure you have the latest RSA NetWitness approved iDRAC and BIOS firmware version that is installed for your Dell appliance.
Reference: RSA NetWitness Availability of BIOS & iDRAC Firmware Updates
After updating the Dell appliance iDRAC and BIOS firmware try run a new TSR_Collect job via the iDRAC UI (preferred), or from the command-line.
- Once the TSR_Collect job has completed successfully save the Collection.
In the iDRAC UI, Overview > Server > Troubleshooting, SupportAssist tab, the “Save Collection” button should no longer be grey, click it, after ensuring the “Save Locally” option is selected.
Wait for the “Save Collection” to complete.
The local PC file should be created as, %TEMP%\ TSR{date_time}_{serial_number}.zip
Where
{date_time} is the date time the file exported.
{serial_number} is the serial number of the Dell appliance.
