We're running RHEL 5.9 and 6.3. My Linux guys tell me that RedHat support is telling them that the only way to take a dump on System Z is VMDUMP. But our Linuxes tend to be up in the 20-40GB range, and it takes forever (many hours) to take a dump, tons of free dump space in the spool, and many hours to do the DUMPLOAD and of course tons of CMS disk space to hold a dump.
I know the IBM dump tools doc says explicitly to use kdump, but apparently RedHat support has been adamant.... Has anyone else bumped into that message from RedHat?
