Set Memory Dump (Debug Information)

This section explains the setting for collecting memory dump (debug information) in the server.
Notes on memory dump
IMPORTANT:
The maintenance personnel designated by your sales agent are responsible for collecting
memory dump. Customers should make settings of memory dump only.
Sometimes a message indicating a shortage of virtual memory appears at the system startup,
when a failure has occurred after making settings described here and you have restarted the
system to save the memory dump. Continue the startup. If you restart the system, you may
not be able to collect the memory dump accurately.
If an error such as a stop error of the OS occurs, the normal dump function may run instead
of the quick dump function depending on the system status. However, the memory dump
file can be used for failure analysis equivalent to that of the quick dump function.
Follow the procedure below to specify.
Click Start and select [Control Panel].
