System Dumps and Dump Scripts

jacks0n — Fri, 10 Aug 2001 04:27:45 GMT

Hi Ppls,

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of where I could find information about system dumps and dump scripts on HP-UX... or even better, help out with some information. What I'm specifically after is information as to where standard dump scripts are located on HP-UX and information about allocating sufficient space for a full system dump.
If anyone by chance has this information about Sun or AIX that would also help.

Best Regards,
Attila.

Hi,

The attached link is to the System Administrators guide which has all the information on how to set up dump space.

Hi Attila,

* the estimated amount of dump should be equal to your machine phisical memory plus some space for the system kernel - from expirience it's nice to estimete dump=1.5 x phisical_memory.

* scripts: /sbin/savecrash (on 11.0)

* conf: /etc/rc.config.d/savecrash (on 11.0)

good luck,
