Urgent: crashconf issue

[Craig A. Sharp]

We are creating a new crashconf on two raw disks.

The crash dump for the default lvol has been removed from the system file and the kernel reset. The dump devices have been reset using crashconf -r /dev/dsk/cxtxdx /dev/dsk/cxtxdx
When we reboot the system the dump goes back to the lvol in the crashconf -v display.

Any ideas?

Here are the commands used to setup the dump.

lvrmboot -d lvol2 /dev/vg00
kconfig -e /lopt/hp/system.bak
sed '/dump\ lvol/ d' /lopt/hp/system.bak > /lopt/hp/system
kconfig -i /lopt/hp/system
crashconf -r /dev/dsk/c11t6d0 /dev/dsk/c5t6d0
crashconf -v

I create logical volumes wherever I want (does not have to be in vg00) and add an entry in /etc/fstab

/dev/vg01/dump / dump defaults 0 0

but you can enter

/dev/dsk/c#t#d# / dump detaults 0 0

and do crashconf -arv

Then I make sure that CRASHCONF_REPLACE=1 in /etc/rc.config.d/crashconf and SAVE_PART=1 in /etc/rc.config.d/savecrash.

No reboot required but if you do reboot, it should not revert back to the lvol.
