Using the Linux command line to copy a dump

Learn how to use the Linux® command line to copy a dump.

Copy the dump only if you are directed to do so by your next level of support or service provider.
Note: If you have an HMC, you must manage your platform dumps with the HMC. For details, see Using an HMC to copy a dump.
