#1

You cannot collect this data when using a system that is set to output data using the default path and file name. Collect the data manually.

#2

The /etc/inet/ipnodes file exists only in Solaris. Collect this file together with the /etc/hosts file.

#3

Only the jpcras command in PFM - Manager 09-00 or later, or PFM - Base 09-00 or later, can collect this data.

#4

In HP-UX 11i V3 (IPF), you can use the coreadm command to change the name of a core file. After renaming, the jpcras command cannot collect any files whose name does not begin with core. For these files, collect information manually.
