We are doing a VMDUMP for a 2G linux server and it is taking FOREVER. If this was a production server we would be picking daggers out of places I can't mention here.
Paging is not too bad on the system (300/sec) and we set the share and reserved for the guest up to maybe help, but nothing seems to get it moving any. It is doing about 1000 spool records every 15-20 seconds and we guestimated it would be about 524288 records; after about an hour it is less than half done!! Is this to be expected? Are we to expect VMDUMP to take that long for these larger guests or do we have a situation we need to dig into? _______________________________________ James Vincent Systems Engineering Consultant Nationwide Services Co., Technology Solutions Mainframe, z/VM and z/Linux Support One Nationwide Plaza 3-20-13 Columbus OH 43215-2220 U.S.A Voice: (614) 249-5547 Fax: (614) 677-7681 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
