Perform the following setup operation in advance so that you can quickly and securely
recover the system if a failure occurs.
Setting Memory Dump (Debug Information)
In the steps explained below, settings are made to collect memory dump (debug
information) in the unit.
•Memory dump is collected by the maintenance personnel from
the maintenance service company. The customer only have to
make memory dump settings.
•If a failure occurs after the settings explained below are made,
and the system has to be restarted to save memory dump, a
message indicating shortage of virtual memory may appear at
the start of the system. In this case, continue the start operation
without interruption. If the start operation is tried again, the
memory dump cannot sometimes be saved correctly.
Follow the setup steps below.
1. From the start menu, select [Control Panel] and click [System].
The [System Properties] dialog box appears.
2. Double-click [Advanced].
3. In the [Startup and Recovery] box, click [Settings].
4. In the text box, enter the location where debug information is to be written, and click
[OK].
<When writing debug information under the file name "MEMORY.DMP" in the
D drive>
D:\MEMORY.DMP
TIPS
•For writing of debug information, it is recommended that
"Complete Memory Dump" be specified. When the installed
memory capacity exceeds 2GB, however, "Complete Memory
Dump" cannot be specified (it does not appear in the menu). In
this case, specify "Kernel Memory Dump".
•Specify a drive having a free space equal to or more than the
installed memory capacity plus 1MB (equal to or more than
2048MB plus 1MB when the installed memory capacity exceeds
2GB).
•When the installed memory capacity will exceed 2GB as a result
of memory expansion, change writing of debug information to
"Kernel Memory Dump" before expansion. In addition, the size
of debug information (memory dump) collected is changed by the
memory expansion. Check the free space of the drive to which
debug information (memory dump) is to be written.
5. Click [Settings] of the [Performance] box.
The [Performance Options] window is displayed.
6. Click the [Advanced] tab of the [Performance Options] window.
7. Click [Change] in the [Virtual memory] box.
