I have a F4800 that crashed a while ago and what like to know if there are ways to determine why this system went down. Also is there a way to turn crash analysis ON and OFF?

FYI - /var/crash/"hostname" is empty.

Thanks!

 
you can verify it is activated, I believe it is enabled in:
/etc/init.d/sysetup (vi the file)

If the server went down in a way where it was not able to create a core, then of course a core file would not be present. Sometime /var/adm/messages will tell you if it attempted to create a core.
 
dumpadm will tell you where it's trying to save the core file.

It's possible you do not have enough space on the file system it's trying to save the core file on and which is preventing the system from dumping.

If lack of space is the problem you can change the dump directory using dumpadm and then do a savecore to save the core file.
