Transferring the Crash
Dump File
Quantum DXi6900 G1 User's Guide
6 To create a checksum file that can be used to verify the correct
transmission of the KDUMP file, use the following command:
md5sum kdump_CX0916BVA00005_Flames_2009-07-
02_11h43m48s.tar.bz2 > \
md5sum_ kdump_CX0916BVA00005_Flames_2009-07-
02_11h43m48s.tar.bz2
Executing this command will produce a checksum file and place it in
the md5sum_ kdump_CX0916BVA00005_Flames_2009-07-
02_11h43m48s.tar.bz2 file. The > option produces and "output
to" and the \ option is a UNIX continuation marker that tells the
command to continue on the next line.
Use WinSCP to transfer the crash dump file from the DXi system to the
attached service laptop.
Note: Ensure that the laptop is connected using Ethernet to the DXi
(either directly or over the customer's network) and you have
set your IP address accordingly so that you can communicate
with the DXi system. Verify connectivity by accessing the DXi
web interface.
1 Launch WinSCP.
WinSCP displays the initial login screen which includes all of the
default options and can be used to successfully connect (see
Figure 34).
