Your approach of using asg search and then going to the owner of the connection is fine. You can also use g_tcpdump, but that's more performance intensive and like you mentioned there is not much benefit of using it other than troubleshooting possible correction.

cppcap does not work in global mode (with g_ commands). That's a known limitation.

Remember that each virtual system is active on every SGM. In order to capture traffic on a specific VS you will need to switch to VS context either with vsenv (in expert mode) or set virtual system in gclish. Most commands are vs aware and work in VS context.

You also referred to another thread about accessing each SGM individually. This is not possible in current software versions. However, in dual site you can access each site by using UIPC (Unique IP-address per chassis). Limitation with this technique is that the IPs you use must be from the same management IP-space as the management address.

Are you familiar with asg_cp2blades-command? You can use it to copy files to all SGMs, so even Winscp copies the files to the SMO only, you can still copy them quickly to all other SGMs (or only to the SGMs you want) by using asg_cp2blades.
