VM65922: CMS STANDALONE DUMP CHANGES FOR Z/ARCH ONLY MACHINE

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• The IBM z13 will be the last z Systems server to support
  running an operating system in ESA/390 architecture mode.
  All future servers will support only operating systems that
  run entirely in z/Architecture mode when running in a logical
  partition.  This APAR (VM65922) enhances the CMS component
  part of stand-alone dump to DASD program to run in
  z/Architecture-only environments.
  

Local fix

  The IBM z13 will be the last z Systems server to support
  running an operating system in ESA/390 architecture mode.
  Future servers will support only operating systems that
  run entirely in z/Architecture mode when running in a logical
  partition.
  
  This APAR (VM65922) enhances the image files in the CMS
  component that are used to install the stand-alone dump to
  DASD program to run in z/Architecture-only environments.
  APAR VM65921 is necessary to update an image file in the CP
  component that is used to install the stand-alone dump to
  DASD program.
  
  These two APARs are necessary for z/VM V630.  No change is
  necessary for z/VM V640 because the stand-alone dump utility
  included in the base install already supports running in
  z/Architecture-only environments.
  
  A program interrupt loop or a disabled wait state 9020 will
  occur if a prior level of the V630 stand-alone dump program
  or a stand-alone dump program from an earlier release is
  used in a z/Architecture-only environment.  A program
  interrupt loop appears as a PSW of all zeros in the
  HMC's Hardware Messages screen when running in an LPAR.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

  PREREQ: VM65957 VM65911 VM65460
  CO-REQ: NONE
  IF-REQ: NONE
  

Comments

• This APAR ships the CMS changes for Stand-alone Dump necessary
  for machines that run entirely in z/Architecture mode.
  
  To use this support, you must also install APAR VM65921 in
  the CP component.  That Apar contains the SADU71 IMAGE file
  which along with the SSPI71, SSPK71 and SSPP71 IMAGE files
  shipped by this APAR, are used by the SDINST utility to
  install the stand-alone dump program to DASD.
  
  Note that if compatible image files are not used when running
  SDINST, the following error occurs.
    ...
    HCPSDI8625E IMAGE FILE MISMATCH.
    HCPSDI8696E AN UNEXPECTED ERROR HAS OCCURRED AND STAND-ALONE
          DUMP INSTALLATION HAS BEEN ABORTED. YOU MAY RE-IPL CMS
