# Create a logical enclosure support dump file

A logical enclosure support dump file includes content from each member logical interconnect in addition to the content of the appliance support dump. The entire bundle of files is compressed and encrypted for downloading. The consolidated logical enclosure support dump is encrypted as support dump information from the logical interconnects includes proprietary HPE intellectual property.

| NOTE: You can create an unencrypted appliance support dump by from the Settings: Appliance screen.

If instructed to create a support dump from more than one logical enclosure, navigate to each logical enclosure screen individually and create a support dump. You must wait for each support dump to complete before creating a subsequent support dump.

By default, the logical enclosure support dump includes the appliance support dump. If instructed to create a logical enclosure support dump that does not contain the appliance support dump, you must use the logical enclosure REST APIs. For more information, see the REST API scripting online help for logical enclosures.
