Changing dump options
You can specify certain characteristics of system dumps that are taken including
whether the dumps are allowed and whether dumps should be compressed.
You can specify dump-related settings using the SMIT fastpath smit sysdumpdev.
Gathering debugging data
You can gather various system and configuration data to a file that then can be
moved to disk or tape, or be transmitted to another system. This information may
be needed to identify and resolve system problems.
Note: Any previously gathered debugging data is overwritten.
You can gather debugging data using the SMIT fastpath smit snap.

aids that are used to perform hardware problem determination.

perform specific tasks using command line flags.
