[All 1Z0-820 Questions]

The core dump configuration in your non global zone is

A user is running a process in a non-global zone (testzone) and the process crashes. The process information is:

user1 2663 2618 0 17:46:42 pts/2 0:00 /usr/bin/bash

When the user's process crashes in testzone, a non-global zone, where will the core dump be saved?

AThe file will be stored in the non-global zone's directory: /var/core/pprocess/core.hash.2663.

BThe file will be saved in the global zone's directory: /var/core/core.bash.2663.

CA core file cannot be generated in a non-global zone because it shares the kernel with the global zone.

DThe file will be stored in the global zone's directory: /var/core/pprocess/core.bash.2663.

EThe file will be saved in non-global zone's directory: /var/core/core.bash.2663

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: E

The line

init core file pattern: /var/core/core.%f.%p

will be used for the non-global process to determine the destination of the dump file.

Note: When a process is dumping core, up to three core files can be produced: one in the per-process location, one in the system-wide global location, and, if the process was running in a local (non-global) zone, one in the global location for the zone in which that process was running.

Core dumps can definitely happen in non-global zones.

I thought it would go to the global zone, but I guess not!

It's saved in the non-global zone's directory, /var/core/core.bash.2663.

Ah, the classic "where's my core dump?" question. I bet it's in the non-global zone's directory.

Haha, no core file? That's like a car crash with no damage. How is that even possible?

I'm pretty sure it's saved in the global zone. The non-global zone shares the kernel with the global zone.

The core dump should be in the non-global zone, right? That's where the process crashed.

I’m confused about the global and non-global zones. I thought core dumps were only in the global zone, but I might be mixing it up with another topic.

I practiced a similar question, and I believe the core dump goes to the non-global zone's directory. So, I lean towards option A.

I remember something about core dumps being stored in the global zone, but that seems wrong for a non-global zone. Maybe it's option C?

I think the core dump should be saved in the non-global zone, but I'm not sure if it's option A or E.

I'm feeling confident about this one. Based on the information provided, the core file will be stored in the non-global zone's directory, specifically /var/core/pprocess/core.hash.2663.

Okay, let me think this through. The question mentions the core dump configuration in the non-global zone, so I'm guessing the core file will be saved in the non-global zone's directory. I'll carefully consider the options to select the best answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the core dump location. I need to review the information about global and non-global zones to determine where the core file will be saved.

I'm pretty sure the core dump will be saved in the non-global zone's directory, since the process is running in the testzone. I'll double-check the configuration details to make sure.
