Copying a dump

Use this procedure to copy a current platform dump or current main storage dump when the Main Storage Dump auto copy option is disabled. Copying the current dump allows another dump of the same type to be created.

Note: If you have an HMC, you must manage your platform dumps with the HMC. However, you will need to manage i5/OS^® main storage dumps with the IBM^® i5/OS service tools.
