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

A crash dump is stored as a file on the node in which the error occurred (Diskdump). The crash dump is stored in the /var/crash directory.
