Chapter 5: Troubleshooting Procedures

NOTE

Rename any crash dumps that you want to save. The CSMIM-T1 overwrites crash dumps.

The assigned name depends on the number of characters per file name that the dump host supports. For hosts supporting file names longer than 14 characters (e.g., BSD hosts), dump files are named dump.addr. The file extension addr is the CSMIM-T1’s IP address.

For hosts that limit file names to 14 characters (e.g., System V hosts), a dump creates two additional directories under /usr/spool/erpcd/bfs. The name of the first directory is dump; the second directory uses the CSMIM-T1’s IP network address as its name. The dump file uses the CSMIM-T1’s IP host address as its name.

\

NOTE

The tftp dump names are user-defined. If a name is not specified, the CSMIM-T1 uses the bfs convention.

Each dump file contains a complete image of the CSMIM-T1 RAM memory and hardware state. The amount of space required for a dump file varies according to the port configuration. The ROM Monitor config command displays the amount of memory for the CSMIM-T1.

Table 5-10shows sample dump file names. All pathnames are relative to the file /usr/spool/erpcd/bfs.
