3.6. System Dump
The system dump can be produced by following the procedure explained below if the OS is
corrupt (e.g., OS stall), or OS information needs to be collected. Note that this operation requires
the OS to be active. System dump cannot be produced if the trouble involves hardware failure
(e.g., HDD containing the OS crashed).
* To produce system dump, OS settings/disk configuration that allow system dump are required.
Some OS does not support system dump. For system dump settings, refer to the
installation/setup manual of each OS.
System dump procedure
(1) Open the SP console, and check that the SP console prompt is present.
(2) Enter SP command “dp,” specify the partition number to produce dump, and enter “yes” (for
the “dp” command, see 2.4.6.3).
(3) After logs of the processors in the selected partition are collected, the OS starts the dump
operation.
(4) After finishing the dump operation, the OS reboots. Log in the OS again and check the dump
file.
* For the location of the system dump file (directory), refer to the installation/setup manual of
the OS.
