Concurrent Dump is a new feature for HP-UX 11i v3 crash dump subsystem. This feature enhances performance scalability of the HP-UX crash dump subsystem with machine configuration if the customer follows recommended guidelines for dump device configuration. This solution is implemented for Itanium®-based platforms only.

Summary of Change

What’s New for Customers Migrating from HP-UX 11i v1 September 2005?

This is a new functionality for HP-UX 11i v3, but it is only available for customers who will be migrating to Itanium®-based platforms. Using this functionality, you can configure your machine to perform a distributed parallel dump, thereby improving the dump throughput and reducing dump time.

HP-UX 11i v3 crash dumps can be done faster compared to HP-UX 11i v1 running on the same machine. This speed improvement can be seen only on HP Itanium®-based platforms.
