The most important stuff is dumped first. In the SHARE presentation from Greg Dyck that I mentioned in my last post, he says this: "95% of failures are solved using 5% of dumped data (my guesstimate)" So even if you run out of space during your SADUMP or only have time (say 10-15 minutes) to let it run before re-IPLing (SLAs), there is still a good chance you will have what is needed.
