compressed with gzip.
Tip:
•
Use the off-the shelf decompression software to decompress the tar
archive and gzip files.
• The files other than svpsts_ja and svpsts_en are internal purpose only.
We do not disclose the format.
• A hvmdumpA-YYYYMMDD-hhmmss.tar is saved in the management
module by LPAR manager. A LPAR manager dump log is saved
automatically if an error occurs on LPAR manager. In addition, a LPAR
manager dump log can be saved manually for problem analysis. To save a
LPAR manager dump log manually, use LPAR manager screen or HvmSh
command.
• For management module firmware version A0145 or later:
You can obtain specific server blade dump logs with LPAR manager in
operation. See
Collecting LP dump logs with LPAR manager in operation
on page 2-210 for details. Those dump logs can be downloaded as a file
but not be saved in the management module.
