do a:
# sysdumpev -L
Device name: /dev/hd6
Major device number: 10
Minor device number: 2
Size: 88271872 bytes
Date/Time: Sun Feb 2 23:02:04 CST 2003
Dump status: -3
dump crashed or did not start
Dump copy filename: /var/adm/ras/vmcore.0
If it coredumped recently and the return code is 0
it's probably in: "/var/adm/ras/" with the file: "vmcore.0". If it is then
you can send me the core and I'll let you know what I believe the problem
is. But only do this if all else fails. I agree with Bill you may have to
look at your boot file (kernel). Now do a:
# bootinfo -y
Then look for that fileset installed on your system:
# lslpp -l | grep -i 64
bos.64bit 5.1.0.0 COMMITTED Base Operating System 64
bit
bos.mp64 5.1.0.0 COMMITTED Base Operating System
64-bit
bos.64bit 5.1.0.0 COMMITTED Base Operating System 64
bit
bos.mp64 5.1.0.0 COMMITTED Base Operating System
64-bit
#
You may want to think about re-linking the "/unix" kernel link with the
other kernel in the "/usr/lib/boot" directory and then try to de-install
and re-install the filesets above with the 64 bit maybe it was corrupted
some how. Then perhaps try reinstalling the bos.perf (AIX performance
toolbox) fileset and then re-try "sar". If all that fails even on the new
file(kernel), then look for the dump if it failed then u can send it to me
and I'll take a peak.
Another option maybe a "Preservation" install to refresh all of the AIX bos
filesets on the system.
