Re: sysdump copy dir.

Oh yes: the reason you get the error on one server not the other is because
the second server has a dedicated dump device, /dev/lg_dumplv, so it won't
need to copy the dump and consequently doesn't care how big the copy
directory is.
The first server uses hd6 and so it needs to copy the dump elsewhere before
booting or it will over-write the dump, (because of course the system can't
start without hd6).

Subject: sysdump copy dir.

biermans@velma:/home/biermans > sudo sysdumpdev -l
primary /dev/hd6
secondary /dev/sysdumpnull
copy directory /var/adm/ras
forced copy flag TRUE
always allow dump FALSE
dump compression OFF


I have another node where the /var/adm/ras is smaller than the
sysdumpdev estimate and I do not receive these errors.

biermans@sf1n04en4:/home/biermans > sudo sysdumpdev -l
primary /dev/lg_dumplv
secondary /dev/sysdumpnull
copy directory /var/adm/ras
forced copy flag TRUE
always allow dump TRUE
dump compression OFF

Why do I get the error on one node and not the other? Clearly neither
filesystem will hold a dump of their estimated sizes (377M and 3.7G
respectivly)
