Note:
  1. Use just one of the optional parameters (-port or -enclosure).
  2. If -port is specified, -iogrp must also be specified.
  3. If -iogrp is specified, -port must also be specified.

Parameters

-portport_id
(Optional) If the system is wired correctly, this value is identical to the ID of the chain with the enclosures you want to dump. If the system is wired incorrectly, all the enclosures that are connected to port port_id of either node canister are dumped.
-iogrpiogrp_id_or_name
(Optional) The ID or name of the I/O group the control enclosure belongs to.
-enclosureenclosure_id
(Optional) The ID of the enclosure you want to dump.

Description

Important: One of the optional parameters must be specified.

This command requests the canisters in the enclosure or enclosures that are specified to dump data. Then, the dumped data is collected and moved to /dumps/enclosure on the nodes that are connected to the enclosure. There is one file for each canister successfully dumped. The files might be on different nodes. Dumps provide information to your product support personnel, who have the tools to interpret the dump data. Use the cpdumps command to copy the files from the system. This command does not disrupt access to the enclosures. The system limits the number of enclosure statesaves in the directory to 20 per node.

To trigger enclosure dumps from all enclosures connected to port 1 of the control enclosure in iogrp 2

triggerenclosuredump -port 1 -iogrp 2

The resulting output:

The data is dumped to the /dumps/enclosure directory if command is successful.

To trigger enclosure dumps from enclosure 5 

triggerenclosuredump -enclosure 5

The resulting output:

The data is dumped to the /dumps/enclosure directory if command is successful.
