When the dump process is completed on a tape library or autoloader
other than the 3584/TS3500/TS4500, the Dump function
stores 1 log file in the output folder of the program (*.blz). For
the 3584/TS3500/TS4500, a dump file (*.a) is stored
in the output folder.
Note: When the Dump function is completed for
tape libraries or autoloaders other than the 3584/TS3500/TS4500,
the log file contains only Log Sense and Mode Sense pages, while a
Drive or 3584/TS3500/TS4500 dump contains much
more diagnostic information.
Retrieve the files from the ITDT-SE output subdirectory that was
created during the installation. The following are examples of the
directory:
- Example output directory (Windows): c:\ITDT\output
- Example output directory (UNIX): /home/user/ITDT/output
- Example output directory (i5/OS): /home/ITDT/output
(On the IFS) use FTP or the System i Navigator to transfer the file
If you want to use other ITDT-SE functions, type R followed by Enter to return to the device list; otherwise, type Q followed by Enter to exit the program.
