Downloading Trace Files Using the FD Dump Tool

The USP V/VM Storage Navigator supports the FD Dump Tool. The FD Dump
Tool is available to only storage administrators, and allows them to download

the Storage Navigator configuration information from the SVP either onto a
floppy disk or onto a hard disk drive. The downloaded information (trace files)
can be used by Hitachi Data Systems service personnel to diagnose problems

related to Storage Navigator operations for troubleshooting purposes.

If you are unable to resolve an error condition, first copy the Storage
Navigator configuration information onto floppy disk(s) using the FD Dump

Tool. Contact the Hitachi Data Systems Support Center (see Calling the
Hitachi Data Systems Support Center), and
give the information on the floppy
disk(s) to the Hitachi Data Systems service personnel.

Cautions:
• If another user (including SVP user) is using the FD Dump Tool, or a

maintenance operation is being performed, you cannot download trace files

using the FD Dump Tool.

• If you want to download trace files to see the configuration information,

select the Refresh All ( ) command from the menu bar of the Storage

Navigator first to refresh the configuration information, and then use the
FD Dump Tool to perform the downloading operation.

To download the Storage Navigator configuration information (trace files) from
the SVP:
1. On the Tool Panel of the Storage Navigator computer, click Download

Trace Files to open the Download Trace Files dialog box. The login dialog

box is displayed.
