The major changes to system crash dump functionality in HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 (B.11.20) are largely internal and do not affect the user-level interface:

  • The boot loader passes user boot arguments through, unchanged, to the kernel, where they are parsed. Accordingly, the dump/crash path handles user boot arguments affecting dump device configuration, initializes, at boot-time, certain dump-related data structures, allows for user config(1M)-time and run-time configuration of dump devices and selection of memory to be dumped, and explicitly passes any information necessary for the taking of a crash dump to the dump application.

  • Dump support is currently available for the Qlogic and LSI SCSI controllers only.

  • There is currently no dump support for:

    • IDE (you can't dump to the CD read/write device or the LS-120 floppy device).

    • Fibre Channel

    • dump-to-tape
