Does anyone know where the location of HP-UX dump files get written too, when I do a system reset from the CM issuing a TC, its will always do a system dump, but not sure where the dump is located.

Output of UX dump files varies from system to system depending on requirements, etc.

Perform the following: man -k dump

The listing there will provide heaps of leads.

Hope that helps some 🙂

Cheers,
