Unable to create a crash dump after a vpar crashed.

[unix adm]

Hi

MY VPAR crashed and not able to create a crash dump with below error on console

Any clue on this . what it could mean ?


Unable to assign ASL device \_SB_.N005.S080.IOC0.L002.S2F0 for crash dump - will retry for 5 minutes
Still unable to assign device. Retrying...
Still unable to assign device. Retrying...
Still unable to assign device. Retrying...

It hanged to had to do a reset to get the servers up, but no crash dump and no RCA.

i think you have given, TOC at GSP

is crash dump device is configured on the system??
#more /etc/crashconf

check below entry
/etc/rc.config.d/crashconf:CRASHCONF_ENABLED=1
/etc/rc.config.d/crashconf:CRASHCONF_READ_FSTAB=1
/etc/rc.config.d/crashconf:CRASHCONF_REPLACE=0

>>Unable to assign ASL device

This suggest that you have configured dump device on other than vg00,
is it a SAN disk??

You may have to update dump device by
lvlnboot -d

It is highly recommened that you configure dump on vg00 (lvol2)

@ Sanjeev, Yes crashconf is correctly configured.

Thanks.

@ Kapil , dump device is configured OK ,

Boot Definitions for Volume Group /dev/vg00:
Physical Volumes belonging in Root Volume Group:
/dev/dsk/c10t0d0s2 (5/0/2/1/0/4/0.0.0) -- Boot Disk
/dev/dsk/c20t0d0 (6/0/10/1/0/4/0.0.0)
Boot: lvol1 on: /dev/dsk/c10t0d0s2

Swap: lvol2 on: /dev/dsk/c10t0d0s2
Dump: lvol2 on: /dev/dsk/c10t0d0s2, 0


Is there anyway I can interpret "_SB_.N005.S080.IOC0.L002.S2F0" which device does it mean?
