.SH NAME
|
|
mkdump \- Preparing disks for use as S/390 dump device.
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B mkdump
|
|
[\fIOPTIONS\fR] [\fIDEVICE\fR]...
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
mkdump 2.0.3
|
|
.PP
|
|
Prepare one or more volumes for use as S/390 dump device. Supported devices
|
|
are ECKD DASD and SCSI over zFCP disks, while multi\-volumes are limited to DASD.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Only whole disks can be used, no partitions! If the device is incompatible
|
|
formatted/partioned, the script will refuse to install the dump record
|
|
unless the \fB\-\-force\fR switch is given.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Disks which are in use or have mounted partitions will not be listed and can't be used.
|
|
The mentioning of "dumpdevice" after a disk indicates that it is an already usable dump device. Additionally multi\-volume dump devices are indicated by the list of including DASD ids.
