The default dump contains all areas of central storage and some
areas of virtual storage that are not backed by central storage. The
output of the stand-alone dump program includes:
- The prefixed save areas (PSA)
- The nucleus and extended nucleus
- The system queue area (SQA) and the extended SQA
- The common service area (CSA) and the extended CSA
- Subpools 203-205, 213-215, 229, 230, 236, 237, 247, 248, and 249
for all address spaces
- The local system queue area (LSQA) and the extended LSQA for eligible
address spaces
- The dump title provided by the operator; otherwise, the dump is
untitled
- The processor STORE STATUS information for each processor
- Central storage from address 0 to the top of main storage (some
blocks might be missing because of offline storage elements)
- Virtual storage areas selected by the DUMP keyword, or selected
by the operator at runtime.
- A message log, normally consisting of all console messages issued
by the dump program, including suppressed messages. (To format and
print the stand-alone dump message log, use the VERBEXIT SADMPMSG
subcommand or the SADMPMSG option of the IPCS dialog.)
- High virtual for the TRACE address space.
- High virtual for the DUMPSRV address space.
- High virtual for the GRS address space.
- Dump records summarizing the zeroed pages in the dump
- The full generalized trace facility (GTF) address space
- Subpool 127 in the GRS address space
- Data spaces whose names begin with ISG for the GRS address space
- All of DUMPSRV's data spaces
- The full cross-system coupling facility (XCF) address space
- All of XCF's dataspaces
- XES-related dataspaces for address spaces with an XES connection
Note that this list does not imply an order of the stand-alone
dump process. During stand-alone dump processing, several different
messages are issued to indicate the progress of the dumping:
- For real dump processing, AMD005I is issued.
- For both real and virtual dump processing, AMD095I is issued every
30 seconds, followed by message AMD056I indicating that dumping of
virtual storage has completed and AMD104I to indicate what output
devices and/or dump data sets were used by the stand-alone dump program.
