1. Yes. On the S85 it is done via the operator panel. I do not have the
sequence off hand; but it is in your service guide and in the AIX online
documentation. On the H70, it is simply hit the reset button. BUT, you
must have always allow dump ( -K ) set to TRUE; not false.
2. The dump device on a fresh install of AIX since version 4 is set to hd6
or paging space.
HTH,
Lamar

Subject: 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.
