sddump command

This command initiates a dump of service data from compute nodes, and I/O modules that support this function.

If command syntax is not correctly entered, or if a command fails to run, an error message is returned. See Common errors for a list of error messages that apply to all commands or sddump command errors for a list of error messages that are specific to the sddump command.

The command table is a multi-row, four-column table where each row describes a CMM CLI command option: column one lists command function, column two provides a detailed command description, column three shows command-option syntax, and column four lists valid command targets.
Function What it does Command Target (see paths in Command targets)
Dump service data (compute node) Dumps service data of the specified type from the specified compute node target.
  • For compute nodes with an IMM, data dumps are initiated and collected from the CMM.
  • For compute nodes that do not have an IMM, data dumps can be initiated, but are not collected, from the CMM; these data dumps remain on the compute node.
 sddump -init
This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities:
  • Supervisor
  • Blade administration
See Commands and user authority for additional information.
Compute node:
  • blade[x]
  • where x is the node bay number.
Dump service data (I/O module) Dumps service data from the specified I/O-module target.
Note: To successfully obtain a data dump from an I/O module, the I/O module must support data collection.
sddump -init
I/O module:
  • switch[x]
  • where x is the I/O-bay number.
Get service data Collects service data, from the last generated service-data dump, of the specified type from the specified compute node target. sddump -coll
This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities:
  • Supervisor
  • Blade administration
See Commands and user authority for additional information.
Compute node:
  • blade[x]
  • where x is the node bay number.
Example: To initiate a data dump from the system-management processor of the compute node in bay 2, while this compute node is set as the persistent command environment, at the system:blade[2]> prompt, type 
sddump -init

The following example shows the information that is returned from this command:

system:blade[2]> sddump -init 
OK
system:blade[2]>
