How to Collect VSP G/F350 G/F370 G/F700 G/F900 Dump Files Using the SVP Dump Tool

Background

Use the dump tool to download dump files onto a Hitachi Device Manager - Hitachi Storage Navigator computer. Downloaded dump files can be used to:

• Troubleshoot the system. Use the dump tool to download dump files from the service processor (SVP) and give it to Hitachi support personnel.
• Check system configuration. First, click File > Refresh All to update the configuration information, and then use the dump tool to download the dump files.

There are two types of dump files:

• Normal dump - includes all information about the SVP and the minimum information about the storage system. Select this when you have a less serious problem, such as an incorrect display.
• Detail dump (preferred) - includes all information about the SVP and the storage system. Select this when Device Manager - Storage Navigator has a serious problem (for example, Device manager - Storage Navigator does not start) or when you need to determine if the storage system has a problem.

Before you begin

• You must remote desktop into the SVP (click here for credentials - only displays for logged in customers).
• All other users (including the SVP user) must not be using the dump tool.
• Stop all maintenance operations. No other user should be managing the array at the time of the collection.
• Dump tools from other storage systems on the same SVP/MPC must not be used during the process.
