Using AIX commands to delete a dump

Dumps are saved in an AIX® directory where you can use AIX commands to delete a dump.

Platform dumps are saved in AIX under the following directory:

/var/adm/platform

Delete the dump only if directed to do so by your next level of support or service provider.

Note: If the AIX logical partition becomes the service partition after it was installed, run the following command to create this directory:

platform_dump -f jfs2

platform_dump -f jfs

to create the /var/adm/ras/platform file system.

During an installation, this directory is created automatically if the AIX logical partition was marked as the service partition before it was installed.
