3. Collected Data

OneCapture by default collects live firmware core dumps. For dead dumps, Emulex

adapters are taken offline during OneCapture execution. You must reboot to bring the

adapters online.
To skip collect FW dumps:

For Linux and Solaris systems, use "--bootfromsan'' to skip live dumps.

For Windows and VMware systems, choose "safe" mode, or uncheck dump

options in GUI interface, or use the "/type=safe" for the "/component" option to

choose the necessary items.

To collect dead dumps:

For Linux and Solaris systems, use "--deaddump".

For Windows and VMware systems, choose "full" mode, or select options in

GUI interface. Use the "/type=full" for the "/component" option to choose the

necessary items in CLI interface.

OneCapture cannot collect data for certain non-default library commands. However,

you can install add-on packages for those commands if the packages are compatible

with your system.
Below is a list of packages that may not be included with default installations. Install

these packages to capture the most data.

Note: OneCapture packet data may be captured as part of the memory dump within

the firmware dump.
