Here's one i use , can't recall from where i picked it up . but it good and works.

By default dump is configured for /dev/vg00/lvol2

You could view the same via

# lvlnboot -v

or

# crashconf -v

If you like to dedicate a logical volume for a dump device, then

Here I am taking an example of creating a LV
/dev/vg00/dumplvol for dump

#crashconf -v
#lvcreate -r n -C y -n dumplvol -L 4096M /dev/vg00
#lvrmboot -d /dev/vg00/lvol2 /dev/vg00
#lvlnboot -d /dev/vg00/dumplvol /dev/vg00
#crashconf -r /dev/vg00/dumplvol
#crashconf -v !! check whether /dev/vg00/dumplvol is taken as new dump device instead of lvol2
