Collect
Maintenance Data
When firmware detects a critical error, the product automatically
copies the contents of DRAM to a dump area in FLASH memory on
the CTP card. Perform this procedure after a firmware fault or FRU
failure to capture data for analysis by support personnel.
Maintenance data includes the dump file and engineering logs.
NOTE: An optional full-volatility feature is often required at military sites
that process classified data. If the feature is enabled through a PFE key, a
memory dump file (that may include classified Fibre Channel frames) is not
included as part of the data collection procedure.
To collect maintenance data:
1. At the Element Manager application (management server), select
Data Collection from the Maintenance menu. The Save Data
Collection dialog box displays (Figure 4-16).
