2-28 October 22, 1999 SP Switch Router Adapter Guide - 1.4 Update 2
Configuring the SP Switch Router Adapter
Step 3. Change profile settings
Change dump defaults for all dev1 cards - Dump profile
Global values for dump settings are at the Dump profile. These settings are usually changed
only for debug purposes. Default settings are shown in this example.
The keep-count field specifies how many dumps are compressed and stored at one time for
each media card. The file system can store the default setting of 2 which actually stores four
dumps per day (the current dump, the first dump of the day, and two additional dumps). Use
caution if you change the recommended default.
Here is the path, default settings are shown:
super> read dump
DUMP read
super> list
hw-table = <{hippi 20 /var/portcards/grdump 0} {rmb 20 /var/portc+
dump-vector-table = <{3 rmb "RMB default dump vectors" < {1 SRAM 2+
config-spontaneous = off
keep-count = 2
The hw-table field has settings to specify when dumps are taken and where dumps are stored.
Here is the path to examine the global SP Switch Router Adapter settings:
super> list hw-table
hippi = { hippi 20 /var/portcards/grdump 0 }
rmb = { rmb 20 /var/portcards/grdump 3 }
hssi = { hssi 20 /var/portcards/grdump 7 }
dev1 = { dev1 20 /var/portcards/grdump 9 }
atm-oc3-v2 = { atm-oc3-v2 20 /var/portcards/grdump 5 }
fddi-v2 = { fddi-v2 20 /var/portcards/grdump 6 }
atm-oc12-v1 = { atm-oc12-v1 20 /var/portcards/grdump 10 }
ethernet-v1 = { ethernet-v1 20 /var/portcards/grdump 8 }
sonet-v1 = { sonet-v1 20 /var/portcards/grdump 11 }
atm-oc12-v2 = { atm-oc12-v2 20 /var/portcards/grdump 14 }
super> list dev1
media = dev1
config = 20
path = /var/portcards/grdump
In the config field you can specify when dumps will be taken by using a value that represents
a certain event or several such events. You can specify the value in either hex or decimal.
However, after you save (write) your specified value and you later read the field, the setting is
always displayed in decimal. Here are the hex values for dump events:
0x0001 - dump always (override other bits)
0x0002 - dump just the next time the card reboots
0x0004 - dump on card panic
0x0008 - dump whenever card is reset
0x0010 - dump whenever card is hung
0x0020 - dump on power up
