Using a DASD dump device

To use a DASD dump device, you need to install the stand-alone DASD dump tool and perform the dump process. Then, copy the dump to a file in a Linux® file system.

DASD dumps are written directly to a DASD partition that was not formatted with a file system. The following DASD types are supported:
  • ECKD DASDs
    • 3380
    • 3390
  • FBA DASDs
