    This command lets you access logs and configuration files for troubleshooting.

    See Viewing information about the system.

    See Viewing the deduplication (MSDP) history or configuration files.

  • The crstats and dcscan commands

    Note:

    These commands do not appear in the shell menu, but you can run them directly. The arguments for these commands cannot include path separators (/).
