Hi all,

What is the purpose of configuring crash dump? Can anyone explain details or give me a document reference of configuring it?

Hi,

A dump area is disk space used to write an image of the core memory after a system crash. The analysis of a core dump may be useful in troubleshooting and restoring the system to working order.

Have a look at Configuring Swap and dump devices section of the "Managing Systems and Workgroups" manual at
http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90950/ch06s03.html

Also have a look at section "Abnormal system shutdowns" at
http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90950/ch05s05.html

at crashconf man page - http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-60105/crashconf.1M.html

Regards,
Ninad
