Specify a special file name matching with the storage device to be registered, using the absolute path starting with /dev/. For how to specify a special file name, see the operating system manual. The following lists some of special file names.

When using a built-in CMT

/dev/cmt00

/dev/datxx (xx varies depending on the connection method or setting method.)

Remarks

To collect failure information, the work area for collection is required. If you specify the name of the directory in the environment variable TMPDIR, a file to be used as the work area is created under the directory. Specify a directory that has sufficient free space for TMPDIR. If you do not specify TMPDIR, the command follows the DMTMPDIR settings of the operating-environment settings file.
