Sachin,

You can manually generate a crash dump by doing a transfer of control to the server or TOC ( TC ).

The following information is for PA-Risc servers:

V-Class: The process for TOCing a V-Class server varies depending
on the number of nodes managed by the teststation and
the model number of the server.

V2200/V2250 with only one node connected to the
teststation:
type: do_reset 0 4

V2200/V2250/V2500/V2600 NOT in an SEA configuration but
with multiple complexes configured for one test station:
type: set_complex complex_name
then type: do_reset 0 4

V2500/V2600 in an SEA configuration:
type: do_reset node_number 4

N-Class: At the console(webconsole) type -b. Enter username and
password configured at the GSP prompt at boot time (HP
won't know what it was set to). If entered correctly, a
gsp> will occur. At the GSP prompt, type "TC. The TOC
button should be user-accessible -on the GSP card.

A-Class: Press the TOC button (labeled Transfer of Control) on the
the bottom-right of the rear between the primary LAN port
and SCSI connector.

T-Class: Set keyswitch to SERVICE; at console press Ctrl-b, at CM>
type SP, at SP> type TC.

K-Class: Press TOC button at bottom of CORE-IO -or- turn the
keyswitch to "Service" and at console: press Ctrl-b.
At CM> type TC, confirm your action.

L-Class: Like the N-Class, press Ctrl-b, login to GSP and execute
the TC command. The TOC button is on the GSP card, but on
an L-class, it's not user-accesible.

D-Class: Press TOC button on the CORE-I/O Board -or- On rear of CPU,
set SERVICE/NORMAL switch on AP card to SERVICE position.
At console press Ctrl-b, at CM> type TC.

E-Class: Place Service/Normal switch (on rear) in Service position.
Then at the console press ctrl-b. At CM> type TC

8x7's and E,F,G,H,I series and the 840:
At console press Ctrl-b. At CM> type TC.

8x2 series: Turn the keyswitch to position 3 and release it.

8x5 series: Turn the keyswitch behind the lower panel to "soft
reset/TC" for one second.

815 and 808: Press the TOC button at the lower right rear of the
unit.

Regards,

Jaime.

You can log on to the management processor attached to the server, and issue a TC command from the command menu (CM). This will perform a 'Transfer of Control,' causing running applications to dump state.

Hi,

You can TOC from system console using TC command. Some old servers have TOC button to do the same.
