I have an issue on multiple guests when performing a standalone dump. On one guest with 512M RAM the following works fine. The dump quickly writes to the linked pack and all is well. This system was up and running fine when I did this so not necessarily real world.
CP CPU ALL STOP CP STORE STATUS CP IPL DDDD But on a linux server with 8G of RAM that was hanging, I ran the same commands as above and nothing outputs to the console for a long time and then finally I see it dumping. But the dump size is 108G. From all the IBM documentation I've read, the dasd device should be sized to size of RAM + 10MB. The size here doesn't make sense. I've tried this on two separate guests with 8G RAM. Can anyone explain what's going on?
