Hi subhashni,

The file where the crash files are stored is defined in the file /etc/rc.config.d/savecrash

Hope this helps.

You specify your dump device via lvlnboot command.

lvlnboot -d /dev/vg??/dump_lv

"man lvlnboot" for more information.

When the system comes back up, the crash dump gets written to /var/adm/crash by default.

Hi,

Check for the file /etc/rc.config.d/savecore

That is the file.

For HP-UX 10.20 look at:

/etc/rc.config.d/savecore

and the line

SAVECORE_DIR=/var/adm/crash

by default, controls where the info will get saved.

Hi subhashni,

The file name is /etc/rc.config.d/savecore in 10.20

hope this helps.
