Disk Space Allocation Command For Saving A Memory Dump (Createdmp) - Hitachi HF-W2000 58 Instruction Manual

8.4.3 Disk space allocation command for saving a memory dump (createdmp)

Name
createdmp - Reserves disk space for a memory dump file
Syntax
createdmp
Functionality
The createdmp command creates an empty memory dump file beforehand, and reserves disk space for a memory
dump to prevent situations where collecting a memory dump fails because of insufficient disk space. By using this
command, you can avoid failures when collecting memory dumps that are caused by insufficient disk space.
The createdmp command reserves disk space if the following conditions are met. If these conditions are not met,
the command terminates with an error. Ensure that the memory dump settings are appropriate, and then retry this
command. For information about how to set up the memory dump settings, see 8.2.2 Configuring the settings
related to memory dumps.
• The Complete memory dump setting is specified.
• The file name of the memory dump is entered correctly.
• The memory dump file can be overwritten.
• After the space for the memory dump file is allocated, the partition used for allocation still has free space totaling
at least 10% of the disk capacity.
The size of the allocated disk space is as follows:
• The size of the physical memory size plus 10 MB
NOTE
• When you run the createdmp command, sign in to the computer as an administrator registered on the
computer (as a member of the Administrators group). You cannot run multiple instances of the createdmp
command simultaneously.
• If User Account Control (UAC) is enabled, open a command prompt as an administrator to run the command.
