/maint/uudmp
Uuencode Flash Dump
Using this command, dump information is presented in uuencoded format. This format makes it
easy to capture the dump information as a file or a string of characters.
If you want to capture dump information to a file, set your communication software on your
workstation to capture session data prior to issuing the uudmp command. This will ensure that you
do not lose any information. Once entered, the uudmp command will cause approximately 23,300
lines of data to be displayed on your screen and copied into the file.
Using the uudmp command, dump information can be read multiple times. The command does not
cause the information to be updated or cleared from flash memory.
Note – Dump information is not cleared automatically. In order for any subsequent dump
information to be written to flash memory, you must manually clear the dump region. For more
information on clearing the dump region, see page 330.
To access dump information, at the Maintenance# prompt, enter:
The dump information is displayed on your screen and, if you have configured your communication
software to do so, captured to a file. If the dump region is empty, the following appears:
/maint/ptdmp <FTP/TFTP server> <filename>
FTP/TFTP System Dump Put
Use this command to put (save) the system dump to a FTP/TFTP server.
Note – If the FTP/TFTP server is running SunOS or the Solaris operating system, the specified
ptdmp file must exist prior to executing the ptdmp command, and must be writable (set with
proper permission, and not locked by any application). The contents of the specified file will be
replaced with the current dump data.
To save dump information via FTP/TFTP, at the Maintenance# prompt, enter:
Where server is the FTP/TFTP server IPv4 address or hostname, and filename is the target dump
file.
Maintenance# uudmp
No FLASH dump available.
Maintenance# ptdmp <FTP/TFTP server> <filename>
