Help!! How do you read a dump file!?

[MadMattF]

I'm completely new to AIX and unix so any help is appreciated! We recently had a system halt due to a couple of drive failures. On reboot of the server I made a tape of the dump file. How can I read/view this file!?

Many Thanks!!!

Good luck. Most of the time I just send it off to IBM. If the dump file is still on disk, you can use the "crash" command.

# man crash

After you print out the 20 pages from the man page, and read them, you'll probably just open up an APAR and send the tape off.

I second the sentiment made by Bill

Hello,

does any one know a tool to see all processor activity
on a S80 or H80. I´m using topas and several other commands.
No command will display all processor activity.

Please let me know

Greetings,

Johan

You can use [tt]sar[/tt]. It have many options, but can show activity per processor.

You can use some [tt]ps[/tt] options to look at the BND (bind processor) column too.
I hope it works...
Unix was made by and for smart people.
