The dump will include the smallest amount of information possible (a minimum number of

hardware scan log rings).

The complete dump will take the longest time to finish; it may take as long as 1.5 hours on a fully

configured system.

Option 3, Immediate Dump, can only be used when the system is in the standby state with power on. It

is used to dump the system data after a checkstop or machine check occurs when the system firmware

is running, or when the operating system is booting or running.

The scan log dump policy can also be set from the Tasks menu in the AIX service aids.

If a valid dump file already exists, the dump control code will stop because the contents of the prior

dump must be protected.
