5.4.1 About memory dump file/paging file
Memory dump file stores the debug information when STOP error (Fatal system error) occurs in the system. Settings for
obtaining the memory dump are done after installing the operating system to be used in the operation or after installing the
application.
The paging file is created in the hard disk to temporarily secure the memory area which has not been used. Paging file is
also used at the time of creating the memory dump file. At the time of creating the memory dump file, entire memory dump
information is stored temporarily in the paging file.
For the details regarding the memory dump file and paging file, see “11.4.3.Setup of dump environment (Windows)” of
PRIMEQUEST 2000 Series Administration Manual (C122-E175EN).
5.5 Setup of dump environment (Linux)
In RHEL, the environment which can acquire the dump most reliably can be prepared by combining the kdump function
which is a standard function of the operating system and the sadump function of hardware.
