The keys to 'hands free' standalone dump: 1. Dump to DASD. No tape involved. 2. The SMSYSC parameter. Use here in DIAGxx. If you have an HMC Load profile for SAD (which I recommend), use it there too.
You can test your new config without having to trigger an AUTOIPL wait state. Just IPL SAD on a disposable LPAR and verify that the entire process completes without any operator intervention. If that works, DIAGxx SADMP will surely work also. Note that automatic IPL is 'never' triggered by hardware, only by z/OS. It could be that some underlying hardware component is patient zero, but the actual reIPL is a z/OS response to that problem. . . .

We do have AUTOIPL coded but the SAMDP parameter is NONE. I'll set this up and test it (if I can think of a way to generate a wait state) Regards and thanks Paul -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of J O Skip Robinson Sent: Monday, March 23, 2015 2:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Unscheduled automatic reIPL on z10 I'm supposing that you have AUTOIPL coded in DIAGxx. AUTOIPL causes automatic IPL in a situation that would otherwise leave you in a wait state. We actually had this problem repeatedly early in R13 because the system would run totally out of real storage, a problem that was eventually fixed by APAR. The main point is that DIAGxx should also include the SADMP parameter as shown below. It requires that you configure standalone dump to work without manual intervention, a good idea in any case. You should get an SAD for most any wait state code other that V XCF,OFF.
