EXAMPLES

An HP-UX 11.00 crash dump was saved by savecrash(1M) to

/var/adm/crash/crash.2

. The -p ﬂag

was speciﬁed to savecrash, specifying that only those portions of the dump which were endangered by swap

activity should be saved; the rest are 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, con-

vert 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
