2 dump questions

1. I was discussing AIX dump devices with a friend.
He claims that if you have no console attached to an
H70 and/or S85, you can't force a dump. I always
thought that there was a power/reset key sequence on
the H70 and/or S85 you could use to initiate a dump if
the system hung.

[I do know you have to have the "always allow dump"
set to FALSE.]

2. On a FRESH install of AIX, is the dump device
called hd7 or dump_lv? I'd heard the latter, but I've
seen on migrated machines that it retained the hd7
name.
