Very Computer

        I have a some system crash dumps on a dual Ultra-II that I want
to analyze at least enough to get a clue of where the problem is coming
from. I am going to take advantage of the warranty support we have on the
system, but it takes forever, and I want to at least get some clues now.
This is all that I know how to do:

$ adb -k unix.0 vmcore.0
physmem
1f541
$c
complete_panic(?) + 24
do_panic(0x1,0x30042fa4,0x1040c028,0x0,0x20,0x0)
vcmn_err(0x3,0x1040d048,0x3,0x30042fa4,0x30043e80,0x4) + 190
cmn_err(0x3,0x1040d048,0x9,0x0,0x1040d2b8,0x9) + 1c
die(0x31,0x30043188,0x78,0x0,0x1040d048,0x0) + a0
trap(0x30043188,0x1,0x0,0x1,0x0,0x5) + 81c

        Can someone point me to web pages or give me some other clues
to go about doing this?

Thanks

Couple of Tips,

Go on a Course - there is Crash Dump Analysis course by Sun,
by a book,
http://sunsite.queensu.ca/sunmicro/sunpress/books/Drake/Drake.html

other than that there are several documents on Sunsolve,
there is also a simple initial analysis script called iscda available
from Sun for Preliminary Analysis.

But First of all download and install all the recommended patches, 90%
of problems have been seen and fixed before, with patches, and Sun will
request this to be done prior inspection.

You might want to take a look at:

http://www.sun.com/smi/ssoftpress/books/Drake/brown/macros.html

but I don't know if these will work with 2.6.  I would think so.

cockroff's book "Crash" will guide you....
