Core Image

[Kenneth Smith]

After loading HPUX 10.10, whenever I boot the system, it fails during the checklist on "Save system core image if needed". Other than that, the system is running fine. I checked the /etc/rc.log file and the error is:
SAVECORE: read failed /dev/dsk/c0t6d0 no such device
SAVECORE: error reading dump header
Exit code 1
"sbin/rc1.d/s440Savecore start" failed.

It mentions that device /dev/dsk/c0t6d0 is not there but it is the boot drive and is operating okay. Although it is not causing a problem at this time, does someone know how to fix this?

Thanks,
Ken Smith

you probably had a system panic and crash..
figure out why with /etc/shutdownlog

Then to fix your dump.. see the following:

lvlnboot -v
output

you may have to define the dump device to be the lvol2 for example.. ie swap space. on reboot the core will be saved in /var/adm/crash.

man lvnboot for details.

Later,
