How to Collect a PIR If HNAS Is Not Configured to Send via Email

• How can I collect a PIR if the HNAS is not configured to send via email?
• How can I collect a PIR if I do not have email set up on the HNAS?

To collect a performance-info-report (PIR) without configuring Hitachi NAS Platform (HNAS) to send email you can use the --to-ssc command option which will create the completed PIR on the SMU.  For example:

performance-info-report -f my-filesystem-name --to-ssc

The PIR will run on the file system you specified (my-filesystem-name in the example above) and the output file will be found on the SMU under /home/manager with the format of <node_name_pir_<date_time>.tgz.  You can then use Winscp or some other SFTP client to download it from the SMU to your desktop.
