Creating Diagnostic Dumps
The diagnostic dump capability enables you to create a “dump” file for a selected
adapter. Dump files contain various information such as firmware version, driver
version, and so on, that is particularly useful when troubleshooting an adapter. You can
also retrieve dump files from remote hosts. (Not available in read-only mode.) For
16Gb/s HBAs refer to the OneConnect section “Creating Diagnostic Dumps” on
page 282.
Caution: Disruption of service can occur if a diagnostic dump is run during I/O
activity.
Note: Diagnostic dump is not supported on LPe16000 series adapters.
To start a diagnostic dump:
1. From the discovery-tree, select an adapter port whose diagnostic information you
want to dump.
2. Select the Diagnostics tab and click Diagnostic Dump. The Diagnostic Dump
dialog box appears. You can specify how many files you want to retain using the
Files Retained counter. Click Delete Existing Dump Files to remove existing dump
files for the selected adapter port from your system.
