IIRC, there was a discussion, either at SHARE or in this forum, in which it was stated that dumps of z/VM 5.2 would not be significantly larger than those from what were then the current systems (mine was 4.4). Would somebody like to recant? Our dumps are much, much larger. When I used VMARC to compress a 5.2 dump, it is reduced to approximately 18% of its former size. That compressed dump is larger than the uncompressed dumps I used to get from 4.4. Same h/w, same everything except for VM CP.
