Guest Memory Dump Collection Command - Hitachi CB 520H A1 User Manual

Guest Memory Dump Collection Command

Outline of Guest Memory Dump Collection Command
The guest memory dump function collects memory data (memory dump)
allocated to the specified guest (LPAR) on the LPAR manager side by
executing the HVM management command (HvmSh) on the LPAR manager
management server, and transfers the collected data to the external FTP
server to save it as a file.
This function allows memory dump even if a logical server error occurs, such
as when OS dump data cannot be collected by the guest OS, and therefore
can be used for analyzing logical server errors.
The figure below shows a schematic diagram of the guest memory dump
function.
