Usage

The AHS monitors and records changes in the server hardware and system configuration. It can assist you in diagnosing problems and delivering rapid resolution.

The AHS does not collect information about your operations, finances, customers, employees, partners, or data center (for example, IP addresses, host names, user names, and passwords are not collected). By downloading and sending the AHS data to Hewlett Packard Enterprise, you agree to have Hewlett Packard Enterprise use the data for analysis, technical resolution, and quality improvements.

This command mounts an AHS partition, downloads AHS log files and bundles them into an .ahs package file.

If a start date and end date are not specified, by default AHS data related to the last 7 days is downloaded. If a start date without an end date is specified, AHS uses the current date as an end date for the download. If a start date and end date are specified, only AHS data in that date range, including start and end dates, is downloaded. If a file name is not specified, a default file name is generated. For instance, HPE_xxxxxxxxxx_20140821.ahs.
