Analyzing Dumps with the crash Command in AIX

    For a fast problem determination you can execute the following
    steps.

    First you check if your "crash" comand is already
    includes the "trace -m" function.
    The best way to do so is to execute:

         # crash /dev/hd7

   you will get a > (greater sign) as prompt
   than enter this comands:


         > ? ( question mark shows you the available comands,
               look for "trace -m")

         > quit

     If you have this function included in your "crash" comand, you
     are able to do the following steps:


        # crash /dev/hd7 | tee /tmp/crash.out

    you will get a > (greater sign) as prompt
    than enter this comands:

        > stat
        > od curid
        > proc -r
        > mst
        > t -mk
        > cpu
        > status
        > dlock
        > symptom
        > errpt
        > quit


    Now you have your prompt again and you can print the file /tmp/crash.out.
