Viewing Diagnostic Dumps Files
Diagnostic dump file names can be viewed using the OneCommand Manager for

client can be used to download dump files by browsing the host data store.

1. On the Diagnostic Dump Tab, click Show Dump Files. The Diagnostic Dump Files
window opens showing the diagnostic dump files currently on your system. These
files are available in the dump directory configured from the Diagnostic Dumps
