Using the AIX commands to copy a dump
Platform dumps are saved in an AIX® directory where you can use AIX commands to copy a dump.
Copy the dump only if you are directed to do so by your next
level of support or service provider.
Note: If you have a management console, you must manage your
platform dumps with the management console.
Platform dumps are saved in AIX under the following
directory:
/var/adm/ras/platformNote: If
the AIX logical
partition becomes the service partition after it was installed, run
the following command to create this directory:
platform_dump -f jfs2or
platform_dump -f jfsThis command will create the /var/adm/ras/platform file system. This was done automatically during installation if the AIX logical partition was marked as the service partition before it was installed.
