Dump Commands
The diagnostic dump feature enables you to create a “dump” file for a selected adapter. Dump files
contain information such as firmware version, driver version, and operating system information for
instance. This information is useful when troubleshooting an adapter, but is unavailable in read-only
mode.
The dump files created are binary files and text files (.txt). The binary files have the following extensions
depending on the adapter type:
• OneConnect
™ CNAs - .edf extension
• 16-Gb HBAs - .bin extension
• Legacy and LightPulse
™ adapters - .dmp extension
