Crash dump

[gigiz]

Hi guys,
is it possible configure a file system crash dump in a file system external at vg00?
For example at vg_crash.
Many point at all

Shalom,

It is possible to configure crash to go to any file system you wish.

Hi,

It can be done. By default savecrash will copy the dump content to /var/adm/crash directory.

Either create a new filesystem and mount it on /var/adm/crash directory or edit /etc/rc.config.d/savecrash and modify the SAVECRASH_DIR value to new filesytem mount point.

default will be this...
SAVECRASH_DIR=/var/adm/crash

But can i configure a vxvm veritas file system for a crash dump file system ?
for example

/dev/vx/dsk/dg_crash/lv_crash on /crash_dump
