Hi list, we just received our z/VM trial tape and are having a bit of a
problem IPLing it. We have a z9 BC machine with an IFL. When we IPL the
tape we get either a device or controller busy message or a timeout
message. We made sure the devices and chpds for the tape was offline to
the other systems. There are 4 z/OS lpars running on the machine
utilizing the 3 general purpose engines. The tape and dasd are shared.
We made sure the tape was OK by running FATAR from the same drive we
were trying to IPL from.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
