Running the realport dump (rpdump) program on Aix

Steps on setup:

• Place the rpdump.aix binary on the AIX host and give it executable permissions (chmod a+x).
• Stop all port processes and the RealPort daemon.

   

  Example:
  # pdisable tty1
  # rmdev -l sa4 -R
  tty1 Defined
  lp3 Defined
  sa4 Defined

   

• Start the rpdump utility:

  ./rpdump -pa -o dump.bin -I /dev/sa#_mon

   

  Where # is the actual "sa" number the Node is at.
  -pa = Send all data to the output file
  -o = File to write to
  -I = SA device being rpdumped

   

• The resulting dump.bin file is the actual debug output, and can only be read by the rpdump utility.
