[Miscellaneous Debug Menu]
The Miscellaneous Debug Menu displays trace buffer information about events that can be
helpful in understanding switch operation. You can view the following information using the
debug menu:
Events traced by the Management Processor (MP)
Events traced to a buffer area when a reset occurs
If the switch resets for any reason, the MP trace buffer is saved into the snap trace buffer area.
The output from these commands can be interpreted by IBM Service Support.
