Recovering from failures

• The logical volume cannot be used for file system storage, because the 

whole logical volume is used.

To use logical volumes for dump devices (no matter how many logical 
volumes are required), include the following dump statement in the 
system file:

Configuring No Dump Devices—To configure a kernel with no dump 
device, use the following dump statement in the system file:

To configured the kernel for no dump device, the above statement (

) must be used.

Omitting dump statements altogether from the 

system

 file results in a 

kernel that uses the primary paging device (swap device) as the dump 
device.

Step 2. Once the 

system

 file has been edited, build a new kernel file using the 

config

 command.

Step 3. Save the existing kernel file (probably 

/stand/vmunix

) to a safe place 

(such as 

/stand/vmunix.safe

) in case the new kernel file can not be 

booted.

Step 4. Boot the system from the new kernel file to activate the new dump device 

definitions.

If there is not a concern about capturing a dump that occurs during the 
earliest stages of the boot process, replace or supplement any kernel 
dump device definitions while the system is booting or running. There 
are two ways to do this:

1. Using 

crashconf

 to read dump entries in the 

/etc/fstab

 file 

(using 

crashconf

’s 

-a

 option)

2. Using arguments to the 

crashconf 

command, directly specifying 

the devices to be configured
