If you have access to the HMC, use PSW RESTART. It will dump the system just like taking a SNAPDUMP followed by a re-IPL.

We are in a situation where our processor and ATL are 3 hours away from us. Plus it is at an unmanned, lights out site. Recently our system locked up and I needed to take a S/A dump. The problem I'm encountering is finding a way to mount a tape to do the S/A dump. The ATL has a web interface but it does not have a feature that will let me mount a tape. Has anyone been in this situation and thus, how did you get around it? Thanks, Steve G.
