Removing a persistent dump volume

Warning:

The system will not boot correctly if you delete a dump volume without first removing it from the crash dump configuration.

Use this procedure to remove a dump volume from the crash dump configuration.

To remove a persistent dump volume

  1. Run the following command to remove a VxVM volume that is being used as a dump volume from the crash dump configuration:

    #crashconf -ds /dev/vx/dsk/bootdg/dumpvol

    In this example, the dump volume is named dumpvol in the boot disk group.

  2. Display the new crash dump configuration:

    #crashconf -v

    You can now remove the volume if required.
