I have some questions about Stand-Alone Dump
The 'Tools and Service Aids' manual mentions the following steps for
Stand-Alone Dump
1 Stop all processors. Do not clear storage.
Does this mean to drag the icon for the image to be dumped to 'STOP'?
Does this affect any other defined images in the CPC?
2. IPL stand-alone dump
I assume this means setting 'LOAD TYPE' to normal, entering the 'LOAD
ADDRESS' of the SADUMP program, and selecting 'STORE STATUS' in the
Activation Profile for SADUMP? After the Activation Profile is assigned
to the image and saved is it then dragged to 'Activate'? Does this
affect any other defined images in the CPC?
3. There is a mention of a 'LOAD PARM'. It looks like this is entered
from the console after the image is dragged to 'Activate' from the HMC.
Is anything entered into the 'LOAD PARM' on in the Activation Profile
for the image?
4. Ready the default output device that was specified on the OUTPUT
parameter on the AMDSADMP macro
Does this mean to insert/mount a tape into the 'OUTPUT' device specified
when the SADUMP program was created?
5. Can these tapes be SL (standard label)?
6. Is there a way to estimate how many 3490E tapes will be required for
a SADUMP?
Thanks to all in advance.
