Parameters

-enclosure enclosure_id
(Optional) The ID of the enclosure you want to dump.

Description

This command requests the canisters in the enclosure or enclosures that are specified to dump data. Then, the dumped data is collected and moved to /dumps/enclosure on the nodes that are connected to the enclosure. There is one file for each canister successfully dumped. The files might be on different nodes. Dumps provide information about your system to your product support personnel, who have tools to interpret the dump data. Use the cpdumps command to copy the files from the system. This command does not disrupt access to the enclosures. The system limits the number of enclosure statesaves in the directory to 20 per node.

To trigger enclosure dumps from enclosure 5

triggerenclosuredump -enclosure 5

The resulting output:

The data is dumped to the /dumps/enclosure directory if command is successful.
