Well, as long the standby memory is offline this should work. But I
assume that you have this setup in order to set memory online eventually,
right?

You should take care to first set low memory online. Otherwise when
you e.g. set the last memory chunk online, you would have the same
problem and you would get a huge dump. The reason is that the DASD dump
tools use a very simple dump format that does not support memory
holes.
