Obtaining a Drive Dump
As a part of troubleshooting, you can download a drive dump.A drive dump is a recording of the state of the
drive at a particular instant used for purpose of debugging. Two logs are pulled: the current log and the
forced log.
1 Stop all I/O to the device. For instructions, refer to the appliance's Hardware User Guide.
2 Log on as SAN administrator, portal administrator, or power user.
3 Expand the appliance in the navigation panel or the graphical panel. Expand the appropriate channel.
4 Right-click the device graphic.
5 Select Drive Dump.
A file browser is displayed.
6 Enter the location that you want to save the drive dump to.
7 Click OK.
First the current drive log is retrieved. It is saved with the name entered in Step 6. Then the forced drive
log is retrieved. It is saved with the filename entered in Step 6, followed by the string "_force."
8 Work with your service representative to interpret the drive dump.
Note
Basic users are not authorized to obtain drive dumps. If the portal administrator
or power user have access to a portal with only partial access to the appliance
for which firmware is to be uploaded, only the SAN administrator can obtain a
drive dump.
Note
Drive dumps can be obtained for SDLT-320 drives, SDLT-600 drives, and all
IBM LTO drives.
