DUMP 

Syntax 

     ISL> DUMP

Operation 

DUMP is a standalone utility that you can invoke only at the ISL> prompt
from the physical console.  It takes a snapshot or dump of system memory
at a given point in time, which can help HP support personnel to
determine the cause of system problems.

You must precede the DUMP command by a non-destructive boot.  During the
non-destructive boot sequence, the bootstrap software saves the machine's
hardware state at the time that the boot was initiated.  DUMP then takes
control and dumps the processor internal memory, main memory, and all
allocated secondary storage marked for dumping.
