Disabling saving of system dump while kernel panic
Hi,
Is there an option to disable saving of system dump when a user invokes a kernel panic
using sysdumpstart command.
Also, is there any other way of invoking a kernel panic other than using
sysdumpstart?
Thanks,
Kanna

ddi_in_panic
ddi_in_panic(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers ddi_in_panic(9F)
NAME
ddi_in_panic - determine if system is in panic state
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/ddi.h>
#include <sys/sunddi.h>
int ddi_in_panic(void);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).
DESCRIPTION
Drivers controlling devices on which the system may write a kernel crash dump in the event of a panic can call ddi_in_panic() to determine
if the system is panicking.
When the system is panicking, the calls of functions scheduled by timeout(9F) and ddi_trigger_softintr(9F) will never occur. Neither can
delay(9F) be relied upon, since it is implemented via timeout(9F).
Drivers that need to enforce a time delay such as SCSI bus reset delay time must busy-wait when the system is panicking.
RETURN VALUES
ddi_in_panic() returns 1 if the system is in panic, or 0 otherwise.
CONTEXT
ddi_in_panic() may be called from any context.
SEE ALSO
dump(9E), delay(9F), ddi_trigger_softintr(9F), timeout(9F)
