If the option is set to true, then pressing CTRL-ALT-1 (numpad) or
CTRL-ATL-2 (numpad) on a LFT terminal, or hitting the reset button on
the system will start a system dump, EVEN if the key for your system is
in the normal position. If there is no key present on your system, the
dump will still occur. CTRL-ALT-1 starts a dump to the primary dump
device and CTRL-ALT-2 to the secondary dump device.
If the option is set to false, then the system ignores the key sequences
from the LFT terminal and pressing reset on the system will reset the
system without performing a dump.
Thanks,
