4.10 Setting Up the Dump Environment (Windows
Server 2003)
Windows Server 2003 allows you to use standard OS functions to collect dumps.
Before you can collect dumps, you must allocate a system area. For details on
allocating an area for such use, see the PRIMEQUEST 580A/540A/580/540/480/440
System Design Guide (C122-B001EN) or the PRIMEQUEST 520A/520/420 System
Design Guide (C122-B009EN).
This section describes how to set up an environment for Windows Server 2003 to
execute dump. For dump-related operations, see Chapter 1, "System Maintenance" in
the PRIMEQUEST 500A/500/400 Series Reference Manual: Tools/Operation
Information (C122-E074EN).
To enable system recovery in case of system failure, make the necessary settings by
referring to the following sections before starting operation.

4.10.1 Setting a memory dump file and paging file
This section explains how to set a memory dump file and paging file.
The memory dump file is used to save debug information when a STOP error (fatal
system error) occurs in the system. After the operating system and applications used
for operation are installed, make the settings required for a memory dump.
4.10.1.1 Different types of information that can be obtained by a
memory dump
The following three types of memory dumps can be configured on the PRIMEQUEST
system, and they differ in the scope of information recorded:
Before starting a memory dump, make sure that the hard disk has enough free space.
•
Complete memory dump
Records all the contents of the physical memory when the system has stopped.
The boot volume must have free space equivalent to approximately the physical
memory size plus 1 megabyte. It can save only one dump. If the specified save
location already has a dump file, the dump file is overwritten.
