Hi all, The site I'm on is replacing GRS with CA-MIM. This is mainly 'cos they don't have a 'PLEX, but do have two closely coupled LPARS on different CECS. Both of those CECS will be moving to different remote sites, and connectivity will be over FCTC's. >From what I know, GRS will only "talk" over a FCTC using XRC, and they can't >use that. 'cos they don't have a 'PLEX.
We've defined all new FCTC's (Exxx and Fxxx unit / CU addresses), and have defined all LPARS to talk to each other both on the existing CECs and the new CECs. CA-MIM provides a procedure for testing the CTC "paths" before going live, PROCCTC (We have called ours MIICTC) To run this, you are supposed to start the proc, and pass it the CTC unit address, i.e. S PROCCTC,/E700 (or in our case S MIICTC,/E700 - you need the / for a 4 digit unit address) However, when we start our proc, it fails: - S MIICTC,/E700 /£HASP100 MIICTC ON STCINRDR IEF695I START MIICTC WITH JOBNAME MIICTC IS ASSIGNED TO USER STC , GROUP PROD /£HASP373 MIICTC STARTED /ACF9CCCD USERID STC IS ASSIGNED TO THIS JOB - MIICTC /IEF403I MIICTC - STARTED - TIME=08.34.14 - --TIMINGS (MINS.)-- ----PAGING COUNTS--- -JOBNAME STEPNAME PROCSTEP RC EXCP CONN TCB SRB CLOCK SERV PG PAGE SWAP VIO SWAPS -MIICTC IEFPROC FLUSH 0 0 ****** .00 .0 0 0 0 0 0 0 /IEF453I MIICTC - JOB FAILED - JCL ERROR - TIME=08.34.14 -MIICTC ENDED. NAME- TOTAL TCB CPU TIME= .00 TOTAL ELAPSED TIME= .0 /£HASP395 MIICTC ENDED IEE132I START COMMAND DEVICE ALLOCATION ERROR The JCL is good, and the unit address correct. We know that SMS was getting in the mix previously, 'cos they EXCLUDE a bunch of devices / unit addresses in their "valid dasd", but they changed the ACS routines to exclude E* and F* devices: - FILTLIST &VALID_DASD EXCLUDE('3590-1', 64%,92%,B4%,1F%,06%,4A%,E*,F*, And have put them live. (Don't ask why they do this, I don't know!) I ran a SMS test case against the ACTIVE SMS CDS on all three LPARs, specifying an Exxx and a Fxxx unit address, and now they do NOT have a storage class assigned, whereas they were getting one assigned previously. However, the proc still fails. CA-MIM is critical to the CEC move project (of course). I have CA looking at it, but can anyone else shed some light on what might be happening here?
