IMPORTANT:
● Collect the information described below only when such is
requested by your maintenance company.
As to the hardware logs, however, it is recommended to collect
before asking for a support in order for your maintenance company
to identify and remove failed point quicker.
For customers without support contract, collect the hardware log
before asking for a support.
● When the system restarts after the failure, it may show a message
indicating that there is a shortage of virtual memory. Simply
continue the system startup. If the system is reset and then
restarted once again, the collection of failure information will fail.
IMPORTANT:
When STOP error, system error or system stall occurs, restart the
server before the log collection.
