Error description
The problem shows up in two ways. 1) /usr/lib/ras/dumpcheck ends up creating an error log entry when CD ROM device is configured as a dump device. IDENTIFIER TIMESTAMP T C RESOURCE_NAME DESCRIPTION 6D87B1C0 1014075813 U O dumpcheck The dump device can not be accessed 2)sysdumpdev -lv primary /dev/cd0 primary size -1 blocks (512 bytes)<<incorrect o/p .. .. The correct output should be as follows: primary /dev/cd0 primary size 8946816 blocks (512 bytes) .. .. The fact that dumpcheck creates an errorlog entry is due the fact that the size of the dump device shown is -1.
Local fix
The errlog entry created by dumpcheck can be ignored. The dump creation works in spite of the fact that dumpcheck reports the error. There is no workaround for the fact that sysdumpdev reports the size incorrectly.
Problem summary
The dump area size is not calculated for CDRAM device,when CD ROM device is configured as a dump device.
Problem conclusion
Ensure that dump area size is calculated for CDRAM device,when CD ROM device is configured as a dump device.
Temporary fix
