9404.0. "The Right Way to Force a UNIX Crash Dump in an Alphaserver 1000?" by NETRIX::"[email protected]" (Jarkko Hietaniemi) Mon Apr 07 1997 07:21

[copied from MIKASA because has answered in 3.5 weeks...]

What are the correct

        - console variables
        - button presses
        - console commands

to force a proper UNIX crash dump from a hung Alphaserver 1000?

9404.1Here are 2 waysUNIFIX::HARRISJuggling has its ups and downsMon Apr 07 1997 10:1013
    I like to force a panic by setting the "hz" global to 0
    
    	# dbx -k /vmunix
    	(dbx) assign hz=0
    
    If you can get to the console prompt ">>>" then you can enter the
    console command "crash"
    
    	>>> crash
    
    You can also see the "Kernel Debugging" manual.
