Gathering Error Diagnosis Information for Linux

To gather diagnostic data for problems believed to originate on Linux use the SVTn X DUMP command. This generates a tar file which includes first failure support data, internal logger trace data, and Linux Server control block information. Send the file to support for analysis.

SVT8 X DUMP                               
SVT8X2204I cacloud dump 150               
Diagnostic data in /var/lib/cacloud/debug:
376K cacloud-linux062-20130925-143842.tgz

In this example, the file cacloud-linux062-20130925-143842.tgz was created in directory /var/lib/cacloud/debug.

To see all the files that reside in the Linux debug directory use the SVTn X DIAG_INFO command.

SVT8 X DIAG_INFO                                
SVT8X2204I cacloud diag_info 154                
Directory of /var/lib/cacloud/debug/cacloud*.tgz
120K cacloud-linux062-20130920-181614.tgz       
376K cacloud-linux062-20130925-115722.tgz       
376K cacloud-linux062-20130925-143842.tgz
