IEE711I SYSTEM DUMP NOT TAKEN. A CRITICAL AUXILIARY STORAGE SHORTAGE EXISTS
>From the message manual: "If the reason field shows A CRITICAL AUXILIARY STORAGE SHORTAGE EXISTS, first you need to ensure that enough DASD resource is available for captured dumps to be written out. Then, consider adding additional auxiliary storage (paging) resources, because SVC dumps will not be allowed again until the auxiliary storage utilization drops below 35%. See the system programmer response for message IRA201E for additional information about auxiliary storage utilization concerns." According to conversations at SHARE, the threshold for this condition is too conservative. AFAIK there is no APAR open to fix it. It's especially frustrating if you want to take a dump to find out who's using up AUX. ;-( . .

Is there an APAR that has more detail as to when this happens? Not too long ago I know we were getting warning messages about an LPAR that had hit 50% and I'm pretty sure I saw an email from a coworker that they manually took an SVCDUMP prior to adding some additional page volumes.
