Creating a Dump of the VSE Guest
To get a stand-alone dump of a VSE guest, proceed as though VSE
were a native system but with these differences:
- Issue the CP STORE STATUS command instead of
doing a machine save. Then enter
set run off - Attach the disk or tape unit to the VSE machine before you IPL the VSE stand-alone
dump program on disk or tape.Note: The stand-alone dump program must have been written to disk or tape prior to the incident.
If you are using handshaking and if VSE storage is in the virtual machine, then you can use the CP VMDUMP command. However, you cannot use the VSE Info/Analysis program to debug VSE problems, because it requires the VSE DUMP utilities. These utilities allow you to debug problems interactively, create problem reports on the VSE machine, and go into dump scan mode.
