5-62 Installing and Using Utilities

Dump Collection

To collect the dump file with NEC ESMPRO Manager, use [CPU Module] →[Maintenance] tree in the data viewer.

To collect the dump with the ft server utility, use the utility screen of the component.

IMPORTANT: Acquire the dump only for the examination of a fault.

The dump can be collected in two ways. In each way, the dump file is collected with the same path and file name "%SystemDrive%\NECDump\MEMORY.DMP" as the dump file of the OS standard.

Collecting dump of inactive module

The dump is acquired from the inactive CPU module (due to the occurrence of a fault or forced stop).

Collecting dump under system operation

Either of the CPU modules is entered into the offline state and the dump is collected during system operation. After the acquisition, the CPU module is returned to the online state again. This can be done only in the duplex system.

The table below shows the potential cases in which the dump is acquired.
