C-Series Tech-Support from CLI

Tech-support data can be exported from the GUI under the Admin tab -> Utilities, but it can also be collected via the CLI.

The following commands can be used from an SSH session into the server's CIMC to configure and start the collection of tech-support data:

scope cimc
scope tech-support
set tftp-ip x.x.x.x
set path supportfile
commit
start

You can view progress of the tech-support collection/upload by using the 'show detail' command repeatedly.
