 | Caution - Oracle Solaris strongly recommends that you do not disable the saving of crash dumps. Crash dumps provide invaluable way to determine what causes your system to crash. |
As the root role, you do have the ability to disable or enable the saving of crash dumps:
# dumpadm -n | -y
- –n
-
Disables the saving of crash dumps
- –y
-
Enables the saving of crash dumps
This example illustrates how to disable the saving of crash dumps on your system.
