Paging space logical volumes will generally hold the system
dump. However, because an incomplete dump may not be usable, follow
the procedure below to make sure that you have enough dump space.
- Enter the sysdumpdev command to list the dump devices.
The logical volume of the primary dump device might be /dev/lg_dumplv or /dev/hd7.
Note: You can also determine the dump devices using SMIT. Select
the Show Current Dump Devices option from the System Dump SMIT
menu.
- Determine your logical volume type by using SMIT. Enter
the SMIT fast path smit lvm or smitty lvm. You will
go directly to Logical Volumes. Select the List all Logical Volumes
by Volume Group option.
Find your dump volume in
the list and note its Type (in the second column). For example, the
logical volume type might be sysdump if the dump device is lg_dumplv,
or paging if the dump device is hd6.
