still resident in the raw dump devices. To save the remainder of the dump into the

crash dump directory, use:

crashutil /var/adm/crash/crash.2

If preferred, the completed crash dump directory could be in a different location -

perhaps on another machine via NFS:

crashutil /var/adm/crash/crash.2 /nfs/remote/otherdir

To debug this crash dump using tools which do not understand the most current

crash dump format, convert it to the older core directory format:

crashutil -v COREDIR /var/adm/crash/crash.2 /tmp/oldcoredir

or the even older “core ﬁle and kernel” format:

crashutil -v COREFILE /var/adm/crash/crash.2 \

/tmp/corefile /tmp/kernfile
