发明名称 FIRMWARE DUMP COLLECTION FROM PRIMARY SYSTEM DUMP DEVICE ADAPTER
摘要 A method of firmware dump collection from a primary dump adapter is provided. The method includes identifying a primary system dump device and a secondary system dump device. An operating system (OS) dump coordinator writes non-disruptive state data to the primary system dump device, and writes disruptive state data to the secondary system dump device. Non-disruptive state data is requested from a hardware device adapter that is connected to the non-primary system dump device. Disruptive state data is requested from the hardware device adapter that is connected to the primary system dump device. The non-disruptive state data is written to the primary system dump device. Disruptive state data is written to the secondary system dump device.

主权项 1. A computer system for firmware dump collection from a primary dump adapter, the computer system comprising a computer readable memory, a processing unit communicatively coupled to the computer readable memory, computer readable storage medium, and program instructions stored on the computer readable storage medium for execution by the processing unit via the computer readable memory, the program instructions comprising: program instructions to identify a primary system dump device and a secondary system dump device, wherein the primary and the secondary system dump devices include non-transitory computer-readable tangible storage, and wherein both the primary and the secondary dump devices are defined to both the operating system (OS) and the firmware and, wherein an operating system (OS) dump coordinator writes non-disruptive state data to the primary system dump device, and wherein the operating system dump coordinator writes disruptive state data to the secondary system dump device; program instructions to request non-disruptive state data from a hardware device adapter wherein collecting non-disruptive state data does not disable the hardware device adapter, based on the hardware device adapter not being connected to the primary system dump device, and wherein the non-disruptive data includes device driver software state data and firmware state data; program instructions to request disruptive state data from the hardware device adapter wherein collecting disruptive state data disables the hardware device adapter, based on the hardware device adapter being connected to the primary system dump device, and wherein the disruptive state data includes hardware device adapter firmware state data; program instructions to write non-disruptive state data to the primary system dump device; and program instructions to write disruptive state data to the secondary system dump device.
