System Dump Device is used for Crash Recovery.
By default /dev/hd6 is assigned for Dump.
Steps to create a dump device:
1) Estimate the amount of size required to create a dump device:
# sysdumpdev -e
The output is shown in bytes.
2) Check the free PP's available in rootvg.
# lsvg rootvg
Determine about PP's required to create dump device.
3) Check the PV's in the rootvg
# lsvg -p rootvg
Select the PV which is having more free PP's to create dump device.
4) Create a dump device.
# mklv -y dump_device -t dump rootvg PP's PV
5) Check the dump device
# lsvg -l rootvg
6) Initialzie the Dump
# sysdumpdev -K
7) Assign the dump device as a primary dump device
# sysdumpdev -Pp /dev/dump_device
8) verify the dump device
# sysdumpdev -l
