A crash dump is a disk copy of the physical memory of the computer at the time of a fatal system error. When a fatal operating system error occurs, a message describing the error is printed to the console. The operating system then generates a crash dump by writing the contents of physical memory to a predetermined dump device, which is typically a local disk partition. The dump device can be configured by way of dumpadm. Once the crash dump has been written to the dump device, the system will reboot. . This package includes the dumpadm and savecore utilities and the dumpadm SMF service. . The dumpadm service reconfigures the kernel's dump settings from /etc/dumpadm.conf and then invokes savecore to locate and retrieve any saved crash dumps.
