I have an E4500 with 4 CPU and 2 GB of physical
memory.
I wish to set up a place where I can save the
core dump file in case the system panics.

I have a couple of questions:

1. How big can a core dump file can be (worst case?)
   Can it be as big as 2 GB?
   (this is a loaded Oracle database server)

2. Due to my oversight, my /var partition is now
   only less than 120 MB. Can I use other directory
   to store core dump files? What Unix command will
   configure the location of the core files?
   btw, I am running Solaris 2.6 and the swap space
   is about 512 MB.

Thanks,
Tony
