Abstract
Techniques are provided for expanding the functionality of live memory analysis commands to analyze a memory dump or other differing memory types. To this end, a live memory command which normally analyzes live memory is modified to invoke a virtual machine. Live memory commands, in general, have different code segments including a locate code segment which, when executed, locates a first control block in live memory. The locate code segment of the live memory command is modified to invoke a virtual machine for locating a second control block in a memory dump. When the modified code segment is executed, the second control block from a memory dump is accessed.
