RCVDUMP Program (Super-Group or Super ID
Only)
1 = Y bus
param
is either one of these parameters:
FULL
specifies that the entire physical memory is to be dumped. FULL is the default
for a processor if the size of physical memory is less than or equal to sixteen
megabytes. This option is ignored if the processor is not a VLX.
PARTIAL
specifies that only those pages of physical memory that are mapped in the
page table cache are to be dumped. PARTIAL is the default for a processor
with more than sixteen megabytes of physical memory. This option is ignored if
the processor is not a VLX.
Considerations
•
If the file dump-file does not already exist, a file with that name is created.
D-series: If dump-file exists, it must be empty (its end-of-file pointer must be set
to zero). If dump-file is not empty, RCVDUMP aborts. Also, if the empty dump-
file exists, but its primary and secondary extent sizes are too small to contain
the entire dump, the file is purged, and a new dump-file with extent sizes of
sufficient size is created.
H-series or G-series: If the file already exists RCVDUMP prompts the user to
specify whether it can overwrite the file. If the answer is ' no', RCVDUMP aborts.
Otherwise it overwrites the existing file and continues.
•
Any dump file created with G06.16 RVU or later has a file code of 145. Any dump
file created with an earlier RVU has a file code of 144. Any dump file created with
any J-series RVU or any H-series RVU has a file code of 148.
•
In H-series, if the system is not a duplex or triplex configuration, or if the ONLINE
or PARALLEL method is not specified, the default method is to use the TNet dump
method in conjunction with Halted State Services running in the halted processor
to be dumped. For more information on Halted State Services, contact your local
HP service provider.
Note. The PRIME and NOPRIME parameters do not have any effect on how the
RCVDUMP command operates. They are therefore no longer described in the RCVDUMP
command description.
