Narrative:
Near maximum takeoff weight; had to use runway not being utilized for normal departures; packs off takeoff. Shortly after gear retraction; EICAS warning indicated left main landing gear still down and locked with nose and right main gear retracted. Completed departure procedure; pack takeoff procedure; and notified departure of gear problem. Chose to restrict speed to 250 to comply with max landing gear extension/retraction speeds. Also stopped climb at FL200.after coordination with company dispatch and maintenance via satcom; a divert to [an alternate] was decided upon rather than a return to [departure airport] due to terrain and possible further potential problems in the event of a go-around and having to leave gear extended.[we advised] ATC; and headings were given to [the alternate]. Due to the heavy weight; we elected to dump fuel to reduce our landing weight. Coordination and approval was obtained from ATC for the dump. After dumping we prepared for a landing. The flight attendants were briefed; and then the passengers were informed of the issue and plan. Landing distance performance data for the overweight landing was obtained from dispatch; and the arrival and approach were briefed.the landing was made at a weight of 380;000 pounds with no issues. After landing; we taxied to remote parking; shut down the aircraft; and submitted the maintenance ACARS items for the gear as well as the overweight landing. Checking the landing gear synopsis page; we noticed one of the left main brake [temperatures] was higher than the rest; so after ensuring the aircraft was chocked and with approval of the maintenance technician we released the parking brake to facilitate cooling of the brakes.
