Great article. How do I find out what SPOCC is connecet to my 3par system?
Thanks for the feedback!
Best way I would say would be to contact HPE and they will be able to identify which Service Processor is sending information back home
Does it not automatically transfer to HPE after the capture?
I have not seen this behaviour. Have you seen this on a particular 3PAR / Service Processor OS?
Hi, Great site! Is there a tool for analyzing the insplore logs?
Thanks for the feedback. There is no special tool available but if you look in side the compressed folder you will see that it is just a collection of text files that you will be able to open. Each shows the result of different CLI commands, so if you are familiar with the CLI you should be able to read them fairly easily
