Full Dump Files

To create the files for a PathBuilder switch motherboard full dump, follow
these steps:
1 On a UNIX TFTP server, create files with the names dmXXXXXX.s01
through dmXXXXXX.s11, where XXXXXX is the last six characters of the
MAC address of the motherboard of the PathBuilder switch.
For example, if the last six characters of the MAC address of the
PathBuilder switch are 06BA6A, enter:
touch dm06BA6A.s01
touch dm06BA6A.s02
touch dm06BA6A.s03
touch dm06BA6A.s04
touch dm06BA6A.s05
touch dm06BA6A.s06
touch dm06BA6A.s07
touch dm06BA6A.s08
touch dm06BA6A.s09
touch dm06BA6A.s10
touch dm06BA6A.s11
2 Ensure that all users have permission to write to the target directory and
filename. To determine this on a UNIX system, enter:
ls -a
3 To change write access permissions on a file or directory, enter:
chmod 666 dm06BA6A.s01
chmod 666 dm06BA6A.s02
chmod 666 dm06BA6A.s03
chmod 666 dm06BA6A.s04
chmod 666 dm06BA6A.s05
chmod 666 dm06BA6A.s06
chmod 666 dm06BA6A.s07
chmod 666 dm06BA6A.s08
chmod 666 dm06BA6A.s09
chmod 666 dm06BA6A.s10
chmod 666 dm06BA6A.s11
If a system crash occurs, the system performs a dump and outputs
PathBuilder switch motherboard information to these files. Each file
contains a maximum of 15 megabytes of information.
See the UNIX system documentation if you have any problems.
