AIX 4.2.1 crashes

[nnconcerts]

I am locating core files for this and it is hard to find the reason for a crash. I have now enabled a full dump through SMIT. Is there something I should look for? I also looked at all the core files available on the system, but nothing much shows up between the addresses 6b0 64 using lqueryvg. This system uses PeopleSoft. Is there something I should look for? Hope someone has an answer.
Thanks

Hi,

Please differentiate between the system and appliaction dumps.
Application dumps are relatively small files created by a certain application crash,that are analized as following,by cut&paste of the following into any shell:

===================
ksh
DATE1=`errpt -a -j C60BB505 | grep Date | awk '{ print $5 }' | cut -d: -f 1,2 |head -1`
for SEQUENCE in `errpt -a -j C60BB505|grep Sequence|cut -d: -f2`
do
DATE2=`errpt -a -j C60BB505 -l $SEQUENCE | grep Date | awk '{ print $5 }' | cut -d: -f 1,2`
if [[ $DATE1 != $DATE2 ]] ;then
echo “`errpt -l $SEQUENCE -a | grep Date | awk '{ print $3,$4,$5 }'` \c\t”
errpt -a -j C60BB505 -l $SEQUENCE | awk '/PROGRAM NAME/,/ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/' | grep -vE "PROG|ADD"
DATE1=$DATE2
fi
done
exit
===================================================
However,system dumps happen when the kernel carshes,normally computer sticks with 888 on the LCD display.

To analize these please refer to thread :

I have created a test fiie and copied the code into it. I will test it later, I wanted to check the LCD if that would come up with an error code. I hope it doesn't corrupt any process or add more overheads.
Thanks
