You can initiate a dump from a DASD device.
Procedure
To obtain a dump with the DASD dump tool, perform the
following main steps:
- Stop all CPUs.
- Store status on the IPL CPU.
- IPL the dump tool on the IPL CPU.
Note: Do not clear the main memory.
The dump process can take several minutes
depending on the device type you are using and the amount of system
memory. After the dump completes, the IPL CPU should go into disabled
wait.
The following PSW indicates that the dump process completed
successfully:
(64-bit) PSW: 00020000 80000000 00000000 00000000
Any
other disabled wait PSW indicates an error.
After
the dump tool is IPLed, messages that indicate the progress of the dump
are written to the console:
