To enable the automatic generation of a core dump if an ASR event occurs, the Compaq
Health (System Management) driver, cpqw, needs to be configured as follows:
•
The Health (System Management) driver from the Compaq Extended Feature Set (EFS)
version 5.34 (for Sco OpenServer 5) or version 7.34 (For SCO UnixWare 7) must be
installed. A later version is also acceptable.
•
Edit the /etc/conf/pack.d/cpqw/space.c. file and locate the variable:
cpqw_ASR_create_crash_dump in this file
•
Change the assigned value from “DISABLED” TO “ENABLED”
•
Relink the UNIX kernel in the usual way and reboot the server to activate the new setting
