You can list log or dump files using the command-line interface (CLI).
Perform the following steps to list log or dump files:
These commands will list the error log by type. These commands will return a list of dumps in the appropriate directory. For example, issue the svcinfo lserrlogbymdisk command, displays the error log by MDisks.
You can display the whole log or filter the log so that only errors, events, or unfixed errors are displayed. In addition, you can request the output to be sorted either by error priority or by time. For error priority, the most serious errors are the lowest-numbered errors. They are, therefore, displayed first in the table. For time, either the older or the latest entry can be displayed first in the output.
These commands will list the dump file by type. These commands will return a list of dumps in the appropriate directory. For example, issue the svcinfo lsconfigdumps command, a list of dumps for configurations will be stored in the /dumps/configs destination directory.
The software dump files contain dumps of the SAN Volume Controller memory. Your IBM® service representative might ask for these dumps to debug problems. The software dumps are large files (approximately 300 MB). Consider copying these files to your host using secure copy (scp) methods.
