- This can be caused by any one of a million things. You need to look at
- the dump to determine the cause. First execute "sysdumpdev -L".
- That will tell you the dump device it dumped to and whether it was successful
- at dumping it. Then dd the dump image off the dump device - it's a lot faster
- than running crash on the dump device directly. For example,
- dd if=/dev/hd7 of=dumpfile
- where in this case /dev/hd7 was the dump device. The output file (in this
- case I called it dumpfile) will be the same size as the size of your dump
- logical volume (ie. /dev/hd7), so make sure you have enough room for this.
-
- Then run "crash dumpfile". Once within crash, there are many things you could
- do depending on the crash. You might start by typing in "trace" or "t". That
- will give you a stack trace for the currently running process. Type in
- "user" or "u" for more detailed information on the current process.
-
- You'll have to call support or post what you've found so far to determine
- what to do from here on.
