Dump Analysis Using SLUIPCS

Normally, dump analysis is performed by a StorageTek Software Support Representative. However, the facilities described in this section are available to all users.

The SLUIPCS CMS command supplied by StorageTek utilizes the dump processing facilities native to the VM release on which it executes. Under VM/SP, VM/SP HPO, and VM/ESA 370, SLUIPCS uses Interactive Problem Control System (IPCS) facilities; under VM/XA SP and VM/ESA, SLUIPCS uses the Dump Viewing Facility (DVF).

When SLUIPCS SCAN is specified, one of the following interactive dump analysis (SCAN) environments is established:

•DUMPSCAN - VM/XA SP and VM/ESA

•IPCSSCAN - VM/SP and VM/SP HPO, Release 6, and VM/ESA 370

After entering the SCAN environment, you may invoke any of the environment’s IBM or StorageTek supplied subcommands. The following IBM manuals describe the IBM subcommands that may be used in the SCAN environment:

•VM/SP and VM/SP HPO Release 6 -- IPCS Guide and Reference

•VM/ESA 370 Release 1 -- IPCS Guide and Reference

•VM/XA SP and VM/ESA -- Dump Viewing Facility Operation Guide and Reference

StorageTek provides the following specialized subcommands for the SCAN environment:
