Upline Dumping
Upline DumpingIntroduction
The access server upline dumps its memory when:
∙An unexpected failure occurs.
∙You force a crash.
The access server always dumps to a load host with the protocol that was used for its download. After an upline dump, the access server automatically reinitializes.
Reference
To send a dump file to Digital Equipment Corporation for evaluation, follow the procedure described in the Network Access Server Problem Solving manual.
Upline Dumps with MOP HostsIf the access server uses the MOP protocol, check the Dump Address field in the display for the SHOW SERVER STATUS command. This
If the dump host is running DECnet software, you can convert the Ethernet address of the dump host to the DECnet node address of the dump host. A formula for this conversion appears in the DECnet documentation for the operating system of the dump host.
When you use the Add option of DSV$CONFIGURE or DSVCONFIG, the command procedure assigns a name for the access server dump file. When a dump occurs, MOP takes the data and creates the dump file. If the access server dumps more than once, MOP creates new versions of the file.
Upline Dumps with BOOTP/TFTP HostsLoad hosts that use BOOTP and TFTP protocols store upline dumps in the file that you created when you configured the load host.
Refer to the DECserver Network Access Software Installation (DIGITAL UNIX) guide.
