Retrieving the weekly HPE 3PAR Storage System configuration and error files

The HPE 3PAR Service Processor gathers HPE 3PAR Storage System configuration and error information and stores this information as files on the Service Processor. Once a week, the SP compresses and zips these files into a single weekly file. The weekly file can be retrieved from the SP and transmitted to HPE through email or FTP. These instructions explain how to retrieve and transfer these files.
