Dump Button: Pressing the Dump button copies current memory contents to a
log file. Information in this log file may be used during troubleshooting
procedures.
Procedure:
1. In Data Viewer, select the General folder of CPU module 1. The General
screen displays.
2. Check the current state of the Status display located at the bottom of this
screen. A green Status display indicates the CPU module is up; a gray Status
display indicates the CPU module is down. A memory dump can be made
with the CPU module up or down. However, if a memory dump is made
when the CPU module up, The CPU module is taken offline until the
memory dump has completed.
3. Switch to CPU 1 module Maintenance folder and click on the Dump button.
The memory dump files are stored in the directory /var/log/vmdump/ on the
managed server. The dump operation is reported as an alert by ESMPRO.
MTBF Information:
The MTBF (Mean-Time-Between-Failures) information of a component can be
viewed or cleared (initialized). Your server manages the MTBF of each
component. If a fault occurs in a component, the module calculates the MTBF
of the component again. If the calculated value is lower than the pre-defined
threshold, the system performs one of the following predefined three functions:
!
Use Threshold: MTBF is calculated when a fault occurs. If calculated
MTBF is below the set threshold value, the device is stopped.
!
Never Restart: The device is stopped whenever a fault occurs.
!
Always Restart: The device is rebooted whenever a fault occurs.
Note:
A disabled component with the MTBF lower than the threshold,
can be forcibly enabled by clearing the MTBF.
Procedure:
To clear the MTBF information of the CPU module, press the MTBF button
displayed in the Maintenance screen.
