Troubleshooting and Support

Collecting data (MustGather)
When a solution cannot be found to your migration problem, you can begin collecting data (MustGather) before calling IBM support. This will help you familiarize yourself with the troubleshooting process and save you time.

Exchanging information with IBM Technical Support
To diagnose or identify a problem, it is sometimes necessary to provide Technical Support with data and information from your system. In addition, Technical Support might also need to provide you with tools or utilities to be used in problem determination.
