details

System Requirements:

OES2 and Virtualized NetWare (NW65sp7)

Installation:
Install the correct rpm for SLES version and architecture as root user.
Note: For SLES 10 SP3 and SLES 11, use the SLES10-SP2 RPM.

rpm -ivh novell-nwcore-1.0.4-1...

Managing the service:

Status ./etc/init.d/novell-nwcore status

/var/log/nwcore

If you wish to change the location of where the coredump is written, modify the /etc.init.d/novell-nwcore file and change the following:
"ARGS="/var/log/nwcore""

-On each instance of Virtualized NetWare, Copy Diag500.nlm to c:\nwserver.

unload diag500.nlm
load diag500.nlm (new version)

-To test the new coredump ability, enter the command "386debug" on server console. This will cause the server to enter the debugger.

-Use the normal commands to navigate the debugger. ".c" will initiate the coredump.

-Answer the prompts as desired.
Reboot the server after coredump (y/n)
Coredump type: 1) Full coredump 2) Full without Cache
Compress coredump? 1) Yes 2) No
Where should diagnostic coredump be sent? 1) XENHOST 2) NETWORK 3) HDISK
Note:Option"1" should be selected to send the coredump to DOM(0).

-The coredump will be written to the system.

Known Problems and Limitations:
Notes: The keyboard may be slow to respond to key strokes while in the debugger. The system may become unresponsive if the ++ keys are pressed prior to coredump process being completed.
