RCVDUMP Program (Super-Group or Super ID
Only)
H-Series Syntax
filename
is the name of the disk file to which the dump is to be written.
cpuNum
is the number of the logical processor from which a processor element is to be
dumped. Specify cpuNum as an integer in the range from 0 through 15.
SLICE <sliceId>
is the identification of the slice from which the processor element is to be dumped.
Valid values are A or B or C or ALL. The default is ALL. Note that ALL may not
be used with the parallel method of dumping.
START n...
is the byte address where the dump will start. The default value is 0.
END n...
is the byte address where the dump will stop. Using a value of -1 is the same as
specifying the end of memory. The default value is -1.
ONLINE
If this option is specified, the dump of a processor can be taken while it is running
and only a full dump file (excluding free memory) is created. You may use either
PARALLEL or ONLINE but not both.
PARALLEL
If this option is specified, the dump of a single processor element can be taken
while the other PEs in that logical processor are reloaded and continue normal
Caution. This command should be used only as part of a documented processor dumping and
recovery procedure. See the sections Processors: Monitoring and Recovery and Starting and
Stopping the System in the NonStop S-Series Operations Guide or the Integrity NonStop NS-
Series Operations Guide.
If a memory dump is requested as part of a recovery procedure, for processors with more than
2 gigabytes of memory, use the HP Tandem Failure Data System (TFDS) memory dump
facility to ensure that the dump occurs in a timely fashion. Otherwise, use either RCVDUMP or
the TFDS facility. TFDS must be configured on the system before the halt occurs.
