    LABEL: DMPCHK_NOSPACE
    IDENTIFIER: F89FB899

    Date/Time: Tue Jan 17 15:00:02 BEIS
    Sequence Number: 28998
    Machine Id: 0058C0CE4C00
    Node Id: <machine_name>
    Class: O
    Type: PEND
    Resource Name: dumpcheck

    Description
    The copy directory is too small.

    Probable Causes
    There is not enough free space in the file system containing the copy directory to accommodate the dump.

    Recommended Actions
    Increase the size of that file system.

    Detail Data
    File system name
    /var/adm/ras
    Current free space in kb
    206548
    Current estimated dump size in kb
    262144


    I have three questions about this error.

    1. How to release the size of the "copy directory"?
    2. Where is the location of the "copy directory"?
    3. Does the size of "copy directory" affect to update fix?
    Thank you for help!

    And reconsider usage of special device for dump:
    /dev/hd6, /dev/lg_dumplv
