Error description
When running V710 stand-alone dump in an LPAR with more than 40 processors defined, stand-alone dump stops with no messages indicating that it failed. Subsequent attempts showed that stand-alone dump works if there were 40 or fewer processors defined in an LPAR.

The failure also occurs sporadically on second level systems that have 64 virtual CPUs defined. Subsequent debugging showed that stand-alone dump works if there were 40 or fewer processors defined in an LPAR. V640 stand-alone dump worked in all of the failing environments.

Comments
For V710, the image files are changed to allow up to 64 CPUs to be dumped. Also, SADU71 IMAGE was changed so that the dump produced will cause VM Dump Tool to use the V710 BLKLIBS (files HCQD8710 VMDTDATA and HCQB8710 VMDTDATA) instead of V640 BLKLIBS by default. Finally, the V710 image files are updated to the latest service level. For V640, the image files are updated to the latest service level.
