Question

The following information has been reported in an AIX error log: How can the administrator prevent the error from reoccurring?

Accepted Answer

C. Increase "/var" file system to ensure it has a minimum of 266MB free space When the primary dump device is configured as a file under /var (such as /var/adm/ras/sysdump), AIX requires enough free space in the /var filesystem to hold the dump image. If /var has less than the required space (266MB in this case), the dump fails with a logged error, and increasing /var free space prevents recurrence.

Answer

A. Create a secondary dump device greater than 266MB Creating a secondary dump device does not resolve insufficient space in the filesystem where the primary dump target resides.

Answer

B. Increase primary dump device size greater than 266MB The primary dump device size setting does not directly free up filesystem space in /var; the underlying filesystem must have room for the dump file.

Answer

D. Increase "/var/adm/ras/livedump" file system to ensure it has a minimum of 266MB free space /var/adm/ras/livedump is used for live dump captures, which is a separate facility from the system crash dump mechanism involved here.
