Memory Dump - NEC Express5800 User Manual

MEMORY DUMP

If an error occurs, the dump file should be saved to acquire necessary information.
If you saved the dump to DAT, write down that it is saved as "NTBackup" or "ARCServe" on the
label. You can specify the location to save the diagnostic information as you like. For more
information, see Chapter 5 for detail.
IMPORTANT:
Consult with your service representative before dumping the
memory. Dumping the memory while the CPU blade is in the
successful operation may affect the system operation.
Restarting the system due to an error may display a message
indicating insufficient virtual memory. Ignore this message and
proceed. Restarting the system may result in dumping improper
data.
Dumping memory is not available in Linux operating system.
Press the DUMP switch to save the dump file when an error occurs. Insert a metal pin (a
straightened large paper clip will make a substitute) into the switch hole to press the DUMP switch.
Pressing the DUMP switch saves the dump file in the specified directory. (Memory dumping may
not be available when the CPU stalls.)
