AIX

Hi,

I would like to know default location for system dump as my system has generated system dump, as server was hanged.

I have run the command sysdumpdev -L it is showing /dev/lg_dumplv and showing correct date,

but when inside /dev/ directory the date which is showing for file lg_dumplv is old.

Please suggest.

Regards

Manoj

Use the command

Code:

snap -D

to copy it to /tmp/ibmsupt/dump.

I wanted to explain why you are seeing an old time stamd on the lg_dumplv file in /dev. lg_dumplv is a logical volume in which the system dump was copied to. The timestamp you are seeing on the /dev/lg_dumplv special file is the creation date of the logical volume device. It's not like a file that you would see in a file system setup.

The command that "zasson" privide should copy the dump from the lv to a file system where you can list out the file and acutally see it.

One other thought is I ususally don't have enough space in my /tmp directory to handle a system dump so you can use the -d option (snap -D -d /(some directory) to place that dump file in some other location.
