Oracle Solaris 11 System Administrator — Question 9

Your server hangs intermittently and you believe it may be due to either faulty hardware or a driver. The support technician has told you to generate a live core dump of all memory pages for further analysis. Your dump configuration is:

Dump content: kernel pages -
Dump device: /dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/dump (dedicated)

Savecore directory: /var/crash -

Savecore enabled: yes -

Save compressed: on -
You don't have enough space on the current dump device, so you need to store the dump on /dev/zvol/dsk/pool2/dump.
Which option would you select to change the dump location for the next core dump and capture the content of all memory pages as requested by the support technician?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it correctly sets the new dump device to /dev/zvol/dsk/pool2/dump and specifies that all memory pages should be captured using the '-c all' option. Options A, B, C, and E either fail to set the correct device or do not include the necessary command to capture all memory pages, which is required for the analysis.
