/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 226.

To access dump information, at the Maintenance# prompt, enter:

The dump information is displayed on your screen and, if you have configured your communi-

cation 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 IP address or hostname, and filename is the target dump

file.
