HP-UX Compressed Dump Release Notes

What’s in This Version

Chapter 1 9

The Compressed Dump product uses a new crash dump format, PARDIR, for saving the

dumps. Existing versions of kernel dump debug tools do not support PARDIR format dumps.

To use with existing dump debug tools, the dump needs to be converted to any of the older

crash dump formats.

The following command converts crash.0 which is in PARDIR format into CRASHDIR

format in crash.1. The converted dump will take up considerably more disk space.

$ crashutil -v CRASHDIR /var/adm/crash/crash.0 /var/adm/crash/crash.1

The dump can also be converted in-place, using the following command:

$ crashutil -v CRASHDIR /var/adm/crash/crash.0
