How to Display the Current Crash Dump Configuration

  1. Become superuser.

  2. Display the current crash dump configuration.


    # dumpadm
      Dump content: kernel pages
       Dump device: /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s1 (swap)
Savecore directory: /var/pluto
  Savecore enabled: yes

    The above example output means:

    • The dump content is kernel memory pages.

    • Kernel memory will be dumped on a swap device, /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s1. You can identify all your swap areas with the swap -l command.

    • System crash dump files will be written in the /var/crash/venus directory.

    • Saving crash dump files is enabled.
