5.4 CSMIM-T1 DUMPS
The CSMIM-T1 dumps its memory image to a host running load server
software when certain software or hardware events occur.
Table 5-9
shows the LED states during a dump.
Events that trigger CSMIM-T1 dumps are:
• Non-recoverable hardware or software errors.
• Software fails to reset the CSMIM-T1’s watchdog timer.
• Software fails one or more internal consistency checks.
• Hardware detects an internal fault.

Key:
●
On continuously.
■ Flashing irregularly.
The CSMIM-T1 sends a dump file to a preferred load dump host. If you
do not define this host by specifying an address, the CSMIM-T1
broadcasts a request and dumps to the first host that responds.
The CSMIM-T1 sends a dump to the /usr/spool/erpcd/bfs directory on
the dump host. The /usr/spool/erpcd/bfs directory is a default pathname
and can be changed. The receiving CSMIM-T1 assigns a unique file name
for each device that it receives a dump from but not for each crash dump.
NOTE
Dump files are generated for use by technical support
personnel only.
