Dump Off System Disk

[deleted05.10]

Hi,
I want to install DOSD ( dump off system disk ).
I set on Console the Parameter "dump_dev", in MODPARAMS.DAT "dumpstyle=13" and "dumpfile_device="dka0". Also in SYCONFIG.COM the MOUNT-Command and the LOGICAL for "clue$dosd_device".
A Testcrash works fine and after boot i have in SYS$ERRORLOG:CLUE$node....LIS-File.
When i start AUTOGEN i get the error "%MOUNT-F-VOLALRMNT, another volume of same label already mounted"... The Problem is the MOUNT-Command of the local disk in SYCONFIG.COM.
How can i solve the problem....

The error message that you are getting simply means another disk with the same label is already mounted on your system.

I would suggest that you check
OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 2: Tuning, Monitoring, and Complex Systems for complete information about how to write the system dump file to a disk other than the system disk.

I can see that above, you are setting the dumpfile onto DSA0 device, which is already mounted.

I would suggest that you look innto the manual and do it and in the event have any questions, throw them here and we would be glad to help you

I have a noshadow local disk for page,swap an dumpfile.
in the OpenVMS Manual http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/732FINAL/aa-pv5nh-tk/00/00/28-con.html#dump-off for DOSD-Device, the mount should be in SYSCONFIG.COM.
In the article "http://h18000.www1.hp.com/support/asktima/operating_systems/0094A74D-642A6F00-1C0069.html" HP says " NO MOUNT in SYCONFIG.COM". When i remove the MOUNT-Command from SYSCONFIG.COM in SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM --> No Error in AUTOGEN.
But on Crash-Reboot no CLUE-File is created.

Hello Bell

I have set up dosd similar to you but with two differences ...
No entries in syconfig.com
I have redefined sys$errorlog.
The clue$node....lis files are written to sys$common:[syserr] and not sys$errorlog.

AUTOGEN runs SYCONFIG.COM so in SYCONFIG.COM
you need to check if the disk is alreay mounted and only mount it if not.
e.g
$ IF .NOT. F$GETDVI("DKA200,"MNT") THEN MOUNT/SYSTEM/NOASSIST DKA200 LABEL
