Chapter Review on Dump Space

     

We hope that we never actually have to make use of dump space. When our system crashes, we need to be able to preserve the relevant information to disk in order to have the resulting crashdump analyzed by our local HP Response Center engineers . At the time of this writing, there is a new feature available to help speed up the process of performing a crashdump. It's known as a Compressed Dump. It is available for HP-UX 11i version 1, but will be enabled only where there are more than five processors. It's a free download from http://software.hp.com. I can't comment further than being interested in any product that speeds up a crashdump, allowing me to return my system to my users.

A crash can be caused by hardware or software problems. Ultimately, it will be up to our local Response Center to perform root cause analysis and help us make sure it never happens again.
