Enable Crash Dumps

How do I verify that a HP-UX 10.20 host is configured properly so that a crash dump is saved in /var/adm/crash after the host crashes?

Thanks,
Josh

Re: Enable Crash Dumps

Shalom Josh,

If I remember flip the switch from 0 to 1 in /etc/rc.config.d/savecrash

Re: Enable Crash Dumps

Thanks Steven!

/etc/rc.config.d/savecore is the file.

# SAVECORE: Set to 0 to disable saving system core files.
SAVECORE=1


# SAVECORE_DIR: Directory name for system core files. Note: the filesystem
# in which this directory is located should have as much free
# space as your system has RAM.
SAVECORE_DIR=/var/adm/crash
