GetHostDump

Manages the managed system's host crash dump file: creates and downloads it, deletes it on the BMC, or downloads it directly from the BMC.

  • Use --action CreateDump to create the managed system's crash dump file and download it from the BMC.
  • Use --action DeleteDump to delete a crash dump file on the BMC.
  • Use --action DirectDump to download the managed system's crash dump file directly from the BMC. If the crash dump file does not exist, SAA shows the warning "No dump messages exist, please create a dump message first."

Syntax

OOB

saa -i <IP or host name> -u <username> -p <password> -c GetHostDump --action <actiondump> [--file <HostDump.tgz> [--overwrite]]

saa [-I Redfish_HI -u <username> -p <password>] -c GetHostDump --action <actiondump> [--file <HostDump.tgz> [--overwrite]]

Multiple Systems OOB

saa -l <system list file> [-u <username> -p <password>] -c GetHostDump --action <actiondump> [--file <HostDump.tgz> [--overwrite]]

Options
