Your question implies confusion. It is the Stand-Alone Dump program that scans and saves a broken LPAR's memory, which you IPL on top of a broken LPAR. I imagine you can scan a broken LPAR's memory using HMC/SE facilities, but I doubt many people can "PEEK/POKE" a busted-arse LPAR to fix it on the fly successfully. Generally you want the system back up as soon as possible (take SAD and re-boot).
The fact that you SAD program has been installed on the volume that contains your DLIB's is irrelevant. There are no DLIB's or programs from DLIB's involved in the process of a stand-alone dump. It is the installation of the SAD program that generates all the necessary components, on whatever tape or DASD volume you specify (excluding any DASD sysres volumes of course, you don't want to overwrite the IPL text stored in cyl 0,0 that brings up your system). Refer to the MVS Diagnosis and Service Aids manual for whichever version of z/OS you are using.
