Configuring the coreadm utility on VOB servers

About this task

You must use the Solaris coreadm utility to enable VOB server processes to generate core files if they fail. Core files are often needed to help resolve problems that cause server failures. To enable core file generation for these server processes:

Procedure

  1. Log on to the VOB server host as root.
  2. Run the coreadm command with the -e proc-setid argument.

    coreadm -e proc-setid

  3. Verify that the system is now configured to allow core file dumps by running the coreadm command with no arguments.
    Look for the output line per-process setid core dumps: enabled. (This does not require the root identity).

    coreadm
    global core file pattern:
    init core file pattern: core
    global core dumps: disabled
    per-process core dumps: enabled
    global setid core dumps: disabled
    per-process setid core dumps: enabled
    global core dump logging: disabled
