C.1.2 Crash Dump

Check the crash dump directory for a crash dump created after the switchover had occurred. The time the dump was written can be found by referring to the time stamp using, for example, "ls(1)" command.

• If a crash dump after the switchover is found

  Save the crash dump.

• If a crash dump after the switchover is not found

  If the failed node is restartable, manually collect a crash dump before restarting it.

Crash dump directory

Crash dumps are stored as files on a node on which an error has occurred (Diskdump) or on the netdump server (Netdump). They are stored in /var/crash directory.
