Reporting a dump by using an AIX command

You can report a dump by using an AIX® command.

About this task

Report the dump only if you are directed to do so by your next level of support or service provider.
Platform dumps are saved in AIX in the following directory: 
/var/adm/platform
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

or

platform_dump -f jfs

This command creates the /var/adm/ras/platform file system. This is done automatically during the installation if the AIX logical partition was marked as the service partition before it was installed.
