Step 10. Full Image Dump - IBM RT PC Problem Determination Manual

S tep 10. F u ll Im age D um p
This step dumps all of your system's real memory and requires
multiple (up to four) diskettes. A full image dump takes more time
than a VRM dump and you cannot use the dump formatter to
inspect the information on the diskettes. Therefore, you should not
use this step unless you have been directed to do so by a support
person servicing your system. Otherwise, use the VRM dump
procedures described in steps 2 and 3 of this chapter.
You can start a full image dump yourself, or you can take a full
image dump in place of a system-started VRM dump. In either
case, have enough formatted diskettes available for your system:
• Two diskettes for a 2mb system.
• Three diskettes for a 3mb system.
• Four diskettes for a 4mb system.
• Sixteen diskettes for a 16mb system.
Number the diskettes in the sequence you will use them. 1 for the
first diskette, 2 for the second diskette, and so on.
If you want to take a system-started full image dump, go to item 2
in the following procedure.
If you want to start the full image dump, do the following:
CTRL-ALT-numpad7.
1. Press
A c6 alternating with abend code 00 is displayed in the
two-digit display.
2. (Start here for a system initiated full image dump.) Insert
diskette 1 into the diskette drive in location A. (The top drive
if there are two.)
CTRL-ALT-numpad7.
3. Press
A c8 appears in the two-digit while the system verifies the
diskette is usable. If the diskette is not usable, a c5 appears. In
this case you should remove the bad diskette and insert
another.
