Note: For VMware systems you must set a dump directory before initiating a

dump. The dump directory must be a “Storage” partition (a datastore)

under the directory

/vmfs/volumes.

4. Click OK. Dump files are created. Where these files are created depends upon your

operating system:

Windows – %ProgramFiles%Util\Dump\

Solaris – /opt/ELXocm/Dump

Linux – /var/log/emulex/ocmanager/Dump

VMware – a dump directory you created under /vmfs/volumes.

Two files are created:

<Hostname_WWPN_Date-Time>.dmp

<Hostname_WWPN_Date-Time>.txt

5. To obtain remote host dump files and copy them to your local system, click Get

Dump Files. The Diagnostic Dump File Transfer dialog box appears.

Note: The Get Dump Files button is disabled when a local adapter port is selected.

6. Select the files you want to copy (multiple selections are available) and click Start

Copy. The remote dump files are copied to your local Dump folder. The local dump

folder locations are described in step 4.

Running Advanced Diagnostic Tests

The Advanced Diagnostics capability gives you greater control than the Quick Test

over the type of diagnostics tests that run. Through Advanced Diagnostics, you can

specify which tests to run, the number of cycles to run and what to do in the event of a

test failure. (Not available in read-only mode.)
