core dump / memory fault

My client is getting a core dump on their HP 9000 (10.2). I need help reading
the dump to determine the problem.

I saw this note in another forum.

"ask HP to send you the procedure "using Q4 to analyse system dump fies for
10.20). you can use this procedure to create files and send
those across for analysis."

Can you please give me any information that would help me read the dump or give
me some resources that could help me read it.

Thanks.

Try this:

cd /var/adm/crash/core.X
/usr/contrib/bin/gunzip vmunix.gz
/usr/contrib/bin/q4prep -p
q4 -p .

At the q4> prompt type: trace event 0 > trace
include analyze.pl
run Analyze AU >> ana.out
exit

Re: core dump / memory fault

How about normal process coredump? Your method can only
deal with system core dump when there is a system panic, right? By the way,
do you remember how to
generate a process coredump? You can get it by keying ^\ and you will get a
coredump. How to analyse this file? Using adb or else?
