Abstract
Mechanisms are provided for generating a system dump data structure based on device state data. A system dump operation is initialized in a data processing system and a device dump is requested by a dump manager from a device coupled to the data processing system. A collection scope data structure and disruption vector corresponding to the device are retrieved. The collection scope data structure specifies a set of one or more functions in the device for which to collect state data. The disruption vector specifies, for each of the one or more functions, a corresponding level of disruption that will be caused by the device dump. The device dump data is collected from the device in accordance with the collection scope data structure and the disruption vector and the system dump data structure is generated based on the collected device dump data.
