z/VM guest example

You can initiate a dump to tape from z/VM®.

Example

If 193 is the tape device:
#cp rewind 193
#cp cpu all stop
#cp store status
#cp i 193
On z/VM, a three-processor machine in this example, you will see messages about the disabled wait:
01: The virtual machine is placed in CP mode due to a SIGP stop from CPU 00.
02: The virtual machine is placed in CP mode due to a SIGP stop from CPU 00.
"CP entered; disabled wait PSW 00020000 80000000 00000000 00000000"

You can now IPL your Linux® instance and resume operations.
