Saving a system dump while in multi-user state
You can obtain a system dump while the system
is up and running, with
dumpmemory.
This command does not interfere with other things going
on in the system, so users can be active on the system when
you use it.
This makes it a very useful tool for debugging the cause of
poor performance of an application, or of a sluggish system.
However, because memory is constantly changing in system state
3 (multi-user state) some of the information may not be valid.
See
dumpmemory(1M)
for complete information on its use.
