Bobby,
I'm glad you got past your issue, I'm surprised you received both tape
and DVD for install...
One question after you get z/VM installed can you test that tape again.
Just to see if it was a tape issue.
regards
Phil Tully

Bobby,
I am on my way out the door soon, but a couple of quick questions.
Are you using the integrated 3270 console for your installation?
Is the tape drive online to that LPAR?
Are the packs online to that LPAR?
On the LOAD panel did you use the Load address of your tape drive?
Did you use a Load parameter of CNSLSCLP or SYSG ?
good luck

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
