It's pretty much the same procedure. Use the steps outlined in Procedure
A of chapter 4
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.

. IBM ships an iPod with ever z9 for sites to
use if they ever need to send back a stand alone dump, say. Another
example is the very high capacity LTO type tape drives.

Seems like it ought to be a function of the LPAR to dump memory contents
somewhere (all machines have LPAR now and there's intelligence there,
right). Maybe on the hard drive of that z9 :)

I'm not sure when we really need a VM stand-alone dump. Usually a PSW
restaret will get us a dump. How often do you use stand-alone dumps?
