Operation


DUMP is a standalone utility that you can invoke only at the ISL> prompt from the physical console. It takes a snapshot or dump of system memory at a given point in time, which can help HP support personnel to determine the cause of system problems.

You must precede the DUMP command by a non-destructive boot. During the non-destructive boot sequence, the bootstrap software saves the machine's hardware state at the time that the boot was initiated. DUMP then takes control and dumps the processor internal memory, main memory, and all allocated secondary storage marked for dumping.
