Making Dump Files
5-12 Express5800/320Ma: System Administrator’s Guide
To create system memory dumps, you can:
• Press a button.
• Configure your system to create memory dumps.
• In ftSMC, right-click a CPU Enclosure, and select the Dump and Go command.
• In ftSMC, right-click a certain component, and select either the Dump and Go
command or the Dump command. (These commands are not available for all
components.)
The Dump command dumps a snapshot of the corresponding component. While
dumping, the component is not available. When the dump is complete, the component
returns to service.
You can also use Windows commands to configure the creation of memory dumps.
See Windows documentation.
Using the Dump Button
CAUTION
!
Making a dump file of an entire system automatically
takes the operating system offline and then restarts it.
With a firm, fine-tipped object, like a pushpin, press the Dump button, which is actually
a small circular opening.
Press the Dump button on the primary enclosure. The primary enclosure is the
enclosure on which the power switch LED is lit. The Dump button is located at the
center rear panel of each enclosure. It is labeled DUMP.
System Memory Dumps
Memory dumps are enabled through the Board Instance driver’s DumpQuickEnabled
and DumpNumberOfFilesToSave properties.
To enable system memory dumps
1. In ftSMC, expand ftServer (Local), ftServer Drivers, and then
Board Instance Driver - srabid.
2. Right click Board Instance Driver - srabid, Properties, and set
DumpQuickEnabled to True.
3. Set DumpNumberOfFilesToSave to the number of dump files you want to save to
disk.
