Deleting a dump by using a management console

You can delete a dump by using the Hardware Management Console (HMC).

Dumps are stored in the HMC's Manage Serviceable Events tool and are automatically deleted when room is required for new dumps.
To manually delete a dump on the HMC, choose one of the following navigation options depending on the interface type of the HMC:
  • If you are using an HMC Classic or HMC Enhanced interface, complete the following steps:
    1. In the navigation area, click Systems management > Servers.
    2. To enable the tasks for that server, select the required server name.
    3. From the Tasks menu, click Serviceability > Manage Dumps.
    4. Verify that the HMC containing the dump is the HMC being used to delete the dump.
    5. In the Manage Dumps window, click Selected > Delete Dump.
  • If you are using an HMC Enhanced+ interface, complete the following steps:
    1. In the navigation area, click the Resources icon Resources, and then click All Systems.
    2. To view the actions for that server, select the server name of the required server.
    3. In the navigation area, click Serviceability > Serviceability.
    4. In the View and Collect section of the Serviceability window, click Manage Dumps.
    5. Verify that the HMC that contains the dump is the HMC being used to copy the dump.
    6. In the Manage Dumps window, click Selected > Delete Dump.
