Downloading Trace Files Using the FD Dump Tool
The USP V/VM Storage Navigator supports the
FD Dump Tool
. The FD Dump
Tool is available to only storage administrators, and allows them to download
the Storage Navigator configuration information from the SVP either onto a
floppy disk or onto a hard disk drive. The downloaded information (trace files)
can be used by Hitachi Data Systems service personnel to diagnose problems
related to Storage Navigator operations for troubleshooting purposes.
If you are unable to resolve an error condition, first copy the Storage
Navigator configuration information onto floppy disk(s) using the
FD Dump
Tool
. Contact the Hitachi Data Systems Support Center (see Calling the
Hitachi Data Systems Support Center), and give the information on the floppy
disk(s) to the Hitachi Data Systems service personnel.
