ldsysdump(ADM)


ldsysdump -- load system dump from floppy diskettes or cartridge tape

Synopsis

/usr/sbin/ldsysdump destination_file

Description

The ldsysdump command loads the memory image files from the floppy diskettes or cartridge tape used to take a system dump and recombines them into a single file on the hard disk suitable for use by the crash command. The destination_file is the name of the hard disk file into which the data from the diskettes will be loaded.

When executed, ldsysdump begins an interactive procedure that prompts the user to insert the diskettes or tape to be loaded. The user has the option of quitting the session at any time. This allows only the portion of the system image needed to be dumped.

Diagnostics

If a floppy diskette is inserted out of sequence a message is printed. The user is allowed to insert a new one and continue the session.

Notices

The file size limit must be set large enough to hold the dump.
