    Hello,

    Is /dev/hd6, the default dump device/paging space in AIX 5.3 and AIX 6.1.

    Is it created during the OS installation itself?

    Thanks,
    Kannan

    Hi,

    On AIX 5.3 & 6.1, the default deump device is lg_dumplv.
    You can make a lsvg -l rootvg to see it or a sysdumpdev -l.

    Regards,

    Nico

    hd6 will be default dump device if the lpar has RAM less than 2G/4G (cannot recall the exact value). Higher than this a dedicated dump device lg_dumplv will be created whose size will be in proportion to the RAM installed (think for 4G it is about 1G). This is created at installation time and can be changed later with sysdumpdev command.
