Objective


How to generate and download tech-support file from the CN Series Firewall



Procedure


  •  Sequence: 

 
 

Note:
a) You need to get TSF from both Management Planes “pan-mgmt-sts-0” and “pan-mgmt-sts-1”
b) TSF from MP will also consist of logs of the DP connected to it.
 

  • Check the MP pods
        Command: “kubectl get pod -n kube-system”
             
  • Go to the admin console
        Command: “su - admin”
  
  •  

Request the tech-support file on both mgmts and wait for its completion (example is just for MP)  

   Command: “request tech-support dump”
  •  
 Check status of the job.
    Command: “show jobs id <job_id>”
  •  
 After the job is complete, exit the admin console and get the tech-support file name.
    Note: The tech-support file will be in /opt/pancfg/tmp/techsupport/
  •  

Copy the file out of the cn-mgmts to local machine (run for both, this is one long line)  

     Command:
    kubectl -n kube-system cp <MP Pod>:/opt/pancfg/tmp/techsupport/<TSF_File_Name> ./<TSF_File_Name>
