DESCRIPTION

Creates a support bundle and optionally uploads the support bundle to DataCore Technical Support. An incident number from DataCore Technical Support is required when invoking this Cmdlet.

PARAMETERS

-BundleType<String>

The type of support bundle to create. To create more than one type of support bundle, the cmdlet must be invoked again. Each time the cmdlet is invoked, a cabinet file is created which contains the support bundle information. For instance, it may be necessary to create a crashdump bundle and a full bundle, so the cmdlet would need to be run twice. Specify one of the following values: "Standard" will collect more recent file information pertaining to configuration and system, logs, and driver traces. "Full" will collect a full support bundle which consists of configuration and system information, registry keys, event logs and driver dumps. "Mini" will collect a mini support bundle which consists of configuration information. "CrashDump" will collect the memory dump at crash time.

-SkipUpload<SwitchParameter>

Uploading the support bundle to DataCore Technical Support requires Internet access from the server and port 3793 must be open if using firewalls. Specify this parameter to skip the automatic upload over the Internet. The support bundle will have to be sent to DataCore Technical Support manually. The cabinet file containing the support bundle information will be located in the Support folder where the software files exist. The cabinet file can be copied to a server with Internet access and attached directly to the incident in the DataCore Technical Support Portal. If this parameter is not specified, the support bundle will be automatically uploaded after it is created.
