Caleb,

You actually do want the rc=108 message, not PIPE's return code.  The 
design of CP is wonderful: the return code *is* the CP message number.  If 
you have a running VM system, enter: HELP MSG HCP108E.  Otherwise look up 
HCP108E in the CP Messages and Codes manual.

Basically, it means that the ID from which you are running VMINST executed 
the command: cp link avsvm 191 802 wr.
but that ID is authorized for the requested LINK (WR).
WR    Write link. A write link is established unless another user has an 
      existing link (any mode) to the disk. If the write link is denied, a 

      read link is established unless another user has an existing 
      exclusive mode link for the disk.  

When you say your are "Doing a First level installation." are you 100% 
certain?  If you had a running VM system and are installing from a 
separate ID you defined on that system, then you are actually performing a 
2nd level installation.  BTW, you cannot start a "2nd level installation" 
from one system and complete it on a different system (should that info be 
of any help).  A true 1st level installation means that you are running on 
the bare metal with no other VM system being used for the installation. Is 
that the case?  If so, was there ANY other error before this one?

z/VM 5.2 install from tape






Hi,

Trying to install z/vm 5.2 from tape. Doing a First level installation.
Everthing went fine until i run INSTVM. Then i get the following message.


hcpivm8342e the command pipe cp link avsvm 191 802 wr failed with rc=10
8
detach and link of maints disk procedure failed.

INSTVM execution failed. I tried to a reinstall and reviewed every step, 
but
still got the same message.
.
z/vm messages manual is not very useful.

HCP8342E THE COMMAND command FAILED WITH RC=rc
 
Explanation:  The COMMAND named failed with the return code stated.
.
Has anyone encountered this problem before ? Where can i find the meaning
 of
RC=108  ? 
.
Appreciate any advise on this.

Caleb
