[SunHELP] Solaris crash dump

[DAUBIGNE Sebastien - BOR ( SDaubigne@bordeaux-bersol.sema.slb.com )]

Which parts of memory are dumped when the kernel crash dumps ?
Is it the entire RAM (user+kernel space)  or just the kernel part ?

What happens if the number of memory pages to dump exceeds the 2 Gb limit
for the primary swap ?

I just want to understand the kernel crash dump basics in order to compute
the right size for the dump file and /var/crash for a server with more than
4 Gb of RAM.

Thanks for any useful links and / or help.
