Re: configuring the s390 dump tools to dump to a shared device?

Sharing dump devices we have documented a proposal for dump device sharing using vmcmd: http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/dw/linux390/docu/l311dt12.pdf I was thinking that with the vmcmd option, there might be a way to do it, and thus only have one disk (or set of disks) tied up for possible dumps. Something like the following commands: LINK MAINT 999 999 MR CPU ALL STOP STORE STATUS I 999 DET 999 I CMS However, that'd predicate being able to run zipl -d against the 999 disk on a single zlinux server that may or may not have the same RAM configuration as the server that eventually dumps. Does anyone know if this can be done? I'm not sure what's included in the dump ipl record... Thanks for any hints/tips/exclamations that the idea is completely out to lunch! You just have to use a dump device that is big enough to store a dump of your largest guest.

Hope they never look at what can be done with gawk 4.0. On Wed, Nov 13, 2013 at 1:28 PM, David L.
