regarding dump

Sridhar R — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 05:38:05 GMT

Below is my syslog.log file which shows the warning for DUMP.

What could be the problem and the possible solution??

Feb 11 05:38:42 cdbap101 vmunix: Logical volume 64, 0x3 configured as ROOT
Feb 11 05:38:42 cdbap101 vmunix: Logical volume 64, 0x2 configured as SWAP

Hi,

Kindly find the output of lvlnboot, it shows fine! But why am i getting that messages in syslog.log??

cdbap101#lvlnboot -v

Hi

In this instance, running the following command on the volume group in question
corrected the errors:

lvlnboot -R /dev/vg00

Rebooting the system shows the error is no longer occurring in /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log.

Thanks & Regards

Ramesh
