Appliance Administrators can execute a trusted, secure appliance diagnostics package to help solve issues with configuration, synchronization, and clustering as well as other other internal challenges. The appliance diagnostics package is available from the web support kiosk, not the serial kiosk. The appliance diagnostics package can be used even when the appliance is in quarantine. To protect against external threats, Safeguard rejects illegitimate appliance diagnostics packages. The manifest file in the appliance diagnostics package lists criteria which may include the minimum Safeguard version, appliance ID, and expiration timestamp UTC. New product code and database changes are not included in an appliance diagnostics package.
Navigate to Administrative Tools | Settings | Appliance | Appliance Diagnostics.
