Hi all... I'm hoping for some good suggestions... We have: - very big LPARs (80GB to 190GB and more) - very limited 3390 space
In the 190GB LPAR, the basic dump space takes the better part of 3 mod 9s (about 1.1GB). To have dump space for a full dump (190GB), that would take at least 29 mod 9s, which we don't have -- especially when you consider there are a number of large VM LPARs that would each need the space...
What we do have the ability to get space on is FCP LUNs, and we've the connectivity already... So... But (at least in this environment) there is the possibility of not having connectivity to the LUN after a VM IPL.
If I set up a BIG EDEV for the dump, I'd like to keep spool files off the EDEV, so I don't loose things like console logs in case there's a LUN connectivity issue. In the olden days there was an allocation type of DUMP, but I don't see that any more...
Am I missing the DUMP option, or?? And that doesn't even begin to talk about trying to load a dump that big... Thanks for any thoughts...... Lee -- Lee Stewart, Senior SE Sirius Computer Solutions Phone: (303) 996-7122 Email: lee.stew...@siriuscom.com Web: www.siriuscom.com
