The Maintenance Menu
Uuencode Flash Dump
Command:
/maint/uudmp
Using this command, dump information is presented in uuencoded format. This format makes
it easy to capture the dump information as a file or a string of characters.
If you want to capture dump information to a file, set your communication software on your
workstation to capture session data prior to issuing the
uudmp
command. This will ensure
that you do not lose any information. Once entered, the
uudmp
command will cause
approximately 23,300 lines of data to be displayed on your screen and copied into the file.
Using the
uudmp
command, dump information can be read multiple times. The command
does not cause the information to be updated or cleared from flash memory.
Dump information is not cleared automatically. In order for any subsequent dump
information to be written to flash memory, you must manually clear the dump region. For
more information on clearing the dump region, refer to the “Clearing Dump Information”
section later in this chapter.
To access dump information, at the
Maintenance#
prompt, enter:
Maintenance#
uudmp
The dump information is displayed on your screen and, if you have configured your
communication software to do so, captured to a file. If the dump region is empty, the
following displays:
No FLASH dump available.
TFTP System Dump Put
Command:
/maint/ptdmp
<server> <filename>
Use this command to save the system dump to a TFTP server.
If the TFTP server is running SunOS or the Solaris operating system, the specified
ptdmp
file must exist prior to executing the
ptdmp
command, and must be writable (set with proper
permission, and not locked by any application). The contents of the specified file will be
replaced with the current dump data.
To save dump information via TFTP, at the
Maintenance#
prompt, enter:
Maintenance#
ptdmp
<server> <filename>
Type the TFTP server IP address or hostname as
<server>
, and the target dump file as
<filename>.
