triggerenclosuredump

Use the triggerenclosuredump command to force the specified enclosure or enclosures to dump data.

Syntax

triggerenclosuredump { -port port_id -iogrp iogrp_id_or_name | -enclosure enclosure_id }

Note:

You can only use one of the optional parameters (-port or -enclosure).
If -port is specified, -iogrp must also be specified.
If -iogrp is specified, -port must also be specified.

Parameters

-port port_id: (Optional) If the system is wired correctly, this value is identical to the ID of the chain with the enclosures you want to dump. If the system is wired incorrectly, all the enclosures connected to port port_id of either node canister are dumped.
-iogrp iogrp_id_or_name: (Optional) The ID or name of the I/O group the control enclosure belongs to.
-enclosure enclosure_id: (Optional) The ID of the enclosure you want to dump.

Description

Important: One of the optional parameters must be specified.

This command requests the canisters in the enclosure or enclosures specified to dump data. The dumped data is subsequently collected and moved to /dumps/enclosure on the nodes that are connected to the enclosure. There is one file for each canister successfully dumped and they may be located on different nodes. Dumps are for use by your prouct support team (or information) if it has the tools to interpret the dump data. Use the cpdumps command to copy the files from the system. This command does not disrupt access to the enclosures. The system limits the number of enclosure statesaves in the directory to 20 per node.

To trigger enclosure dumps from all enclosures connected to port 1 of the control enclosure in `iogrp 2`

triggerenclosuredump -port 1 -iogrp 2

The resulting output:

The data is dumped to the /dumps/enclosure directory if command is successful.

To trigger enclosure dumps from `enclosure 5`

triggerenclosuredump -enclosure 5
