List Members,
Below is the procedure we successfully use to create a stand-alone dump of a
hung or misbehaving VSE guest machine.
Does anyone have a working procedure for an MVS system, running under VM, that
they are willing to share. The dump must be to DASD.
Thanks in advance.
1. Log on to the VSE machine that is hung. (You may type disc on the VM
operator console then press ENTER to get a VM LOGO screen.) From this screen,
press ENTER, then key:
LOGON userid
userid is the VM user ID for the VSE machine.
When the password is requested, key in the appropriate password.
2. Key the following: #CP D PSW and press ENTER. Low storage will be
displayed similar to the following:
000706000 00004000 00C802C8 0001010C 00000000 06 .. ..H.H……..
00000040 00FFF00 08000001 A0A7F660 00000000 06 ..0……x6-…
3. Enter the following: #CP STORE STATUS
The system will respond: STORE COMPLETE
4. Enter: #CP SET RUN OFF
5. Enter: #CP IPL cuu
where cuu (121) is the IPL’able device containing the SA Dump
Program:
Note: if MORE or HOLDING appears in the lower right hand corner, hit your
CLEAR key.
6. After a few long minutes of processing, the following message will be
displayed:
4G10I STAND ALONE DUMP COMPLETE
HCPGIR450W CP entered; disabled wait PSW 000A0000 00CE0040
6. Enter: #CP SYSCLEAR
7. Enter: #CP LOGOFF
Thank you,
