completion, editing, and history" (page 21).

Description Forces the partner controller module to crash for a non-maskable interrupt. The command causes the

crash by issuing an internal kill command to the Storage Controller in the partner controller module.

This might be helpful to gather debug information that is only available via a crash dump.

CAUTION: Do not use this command in a production system. Use only for testing. This command

will interfere with the operation of volumes in vdisks owned by the failed controller, potentially

causing data loss.
