9.6.2 Using the 5155/5159, 5150 or 5151 for a Memory Dump
To use a 5155, 5159, 5150 or 5151 tape drive to capture memory
dumps, read the following information.
Himalaya K100, K200, K1000, and K2000 and CLX Systems
When the Copy Memory is used, tape screen on the control panel to
dump memory. The cartridge tape in the base system cabinet
(cabinet 1) is used by default; however, a 5155, 5159, 5150 or 5151
tape drive can be used for memory dumps if the system is
configured as follows:
• MFC connection
The 5155, 5159, 5150 or 5151 FRU is attached to a MFC that
is connected to CPU 0 or CPU 1 (the MFC must be in the base
system cabinet or in I/O cabinet 1A), and the tape drive is
specified as the default drive to be used for memory dumps.
(Use the TMDS MDS subsystem commands to do this. See the
TMDS Reference Manual.)
• 3216 controller connection (CLX platforms only support
“Memory Dumps” when connected to an MFC.
The 5155/5159, 5150 or 5151 FRU is attached to a 3216
controller located in the base system cabinet or in I/O cabinet
#1A and the drive is designated as unit 5 on the 3216 controller
(in the system configuration file). The tape drive must be
specified as the default drive to be used for memory dumps.
(Use TMDS MDS subsystem commands to do this. See the
TMDS Reference Manual.)
Before performing a Copy Memory tape task, be sure to load a
write-enabled cartridge tape in the tape drive and bring the drive
online.
