Yes, we did that ...
all the core dump already deleted.

what the key point of my question is ...

why the volume of "inod" decreased ?

iused + ifree

3488 + 5600 not equal to 3533 + 627

Hi,

vxfs does dynamic inode allocation by default!
Thus number of inodes may vary.

The -i option of bdf only means something for HFS filesystems (like /stand). For VxFS filesystems, the numbers are not useful as they are constantly adjusted -- you'll never run out of inodes until you run out out of diskspace on VxFS filesystems.

The inode number is dynamic
