Collecting Maintenance Data
When the director operational firmware detects a critical error or FRU failure, the
director automatically copies the contents of dynamic random access memory
(DRAM) to a dump area in FLASH memory on the active CTP card, then initiates
a failover to the operational FRU. The director then transfers (through the
Ethernet connection) the captured dump file from FLASH memory to the HAFM
appliance hard drive.
Note:
An optional full-volatility feature is often required at military sites that process
classified data. If the feature is enabled through a product feature enablement (PFE)
key, a memory dump file (that possibly includes classified Fibre Channel frames) is not
included as part of the data collection procedure.
Perform the maintenance data collection procedure after a firmware fault is
corrected or a failed FRU is replaced to capture the data for analysis by third-level
support personnel. Maintenance data includes the dump file, hardware log, audit
log, and an engineering log viewable only by support personnel. To collect
maintenance data:
1. Open the HAFM application. The View All - HAFM 8 main window displays.
2. Double-click the icon representing the director for which the data collection
procedure will be performed. The Hardware View for the selected director
displays.
3. Choose Maintenance > Data Collection. The Save Data Collection dialog
box displays, as shown in
Figure 48: Save Data Collection dialog box
