The hvdump command collects RMS debugging information on the local node. A normal RMS installation creates the file
RELIANT_PATH/bin/hvdump
By default, RELIANT_PATH is /opt/SMAW/SMAWRrms/. Symbolic links to the same file are also created in /usr/bin/hvdump (which is usually in the default search path) and /opt/SMAW/bin/hvdump.
Invoking hvdump gathers log files and configuration data and places them in the RELIANT_PATH directory in the following archive:
<nodename>RMS.<timestamp>.debug_information.tar.<suf>
where the suffix <suf> is 'gz' on Linux platforms, and 'Z' on Solaris platforms.
The archive file is intended for use by RMS support specialists. The hvdump(1M) manual page presents a detailed list of the files and information included in the archive.
