REMCS Agent Operator's Guide 1.5

3.4.3 Crash dump selection menu

[Display Item]

The crash dump list is displayed. Its contents are as follows.

(1) Crash dump:

vmcore.N and unix.N are the filenames of a crash dump (note). N indicates the generation number. The crash dump is assumed to be saved in the following location.

/var/crash/`uname -n`/

If a system is designed so that crash dump is generated in any location other than the above location, change the value of the SaveCore variable in the definition file. See Section 3.10, "Environment Definition File" for details.

(2) Basic Info:

fjsnap.N is the filename of basic information that is automatically collected when a crash dump is output. N indicates the generation number.

Because fjsnap.N is created (after a period of about 10 minutes) during booting after system panic, it might not be displayed on the menu immediately after booting. In such an event, wait for about 10 minutes, and then reopen the investigation information collection menu.

(3) Date:

Date and time when the crash dump and basic information are generated.

(4) Size:

Total size of vmcore.N, unix.N, and fjsnap.N.

[Selection Item]

Select the item number of the line in which the crash dump and basic information of the generation to be collected are displayed.
