How to check LPAR system status

row whose system status you want to check.
How to collect guest OS dump
lace the cursor on the Dump column in the LPAR row whose dump you want
to collect. Press Enter to display the sub-screen to execute a dump. Place the
cursor on Yes and press Enter. A sub-screen that re-confirms the dump
execution will be displayed. Place the cursor on Yes again and press Enter.
Dump collection is possible only when the relevant LPAR is activated.
Note:
•
To check the guest OS status before collecting a dump, before collecting
the guest OS dump, collect console log data and capture a logical VGA
snapshot.
You could not be too careful when collecting dumps because that
collecting dumps may damage the guest OS.
What is Console log data?
Console log data is the screen data displayed when the guest OS on an LPAR
is running. LPAR manager stores especially character data among the screen
data in the internal buffer (up to 1,500 lines). If the console log data exceeds
the number of lines in the buffer, it is overwritten sequentially from the oldest
data.
How to collect console log data
Place the cursor on the CLD column in the LPAR row whose console log data
you would like to display. Press Enter to open a sub-screen. Use the
↑
and
↓
keys to select 'Yes' on the sub-screen, and press Enter.
