Hi Kevin, On the other userids, are you linking TCPMAINT 592? All userids attempting to use TCP/IP need to be able to see TCPIP DATA, which is usually on TCPMAINT 592.
Peter -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Morris, Kevin J. (RET-DAY) Sent: June 16, 2008 14:54 To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: zVM 5.3 and DNS We recently installed zVM 5.3 onto our test VM LPAR (production is still 5.2) and encountered a strange problem in that TCPMAINT appears to be the only user that can resolve hostnames. OPERATOR, MAINT, other systems programmer CMS userids all get "Unknown host xxxxxx". Example: --- as user: TCPMAINT --- ping vm03 Ping Level 530: Pinging host VM03 (10.196.76.30). Enter #CP EXT to interrupt. PING: Ping #1 response took 0.001 seconds. Successes so far 1. --- as user: MAINT ------ ping vm03 DTCPIN0014E Unknown host VM03 Ready(00100); T=0.01/0.01 14:43:36 ping 10.196.76.30 Ping Level 530: Pinging host 10.196.76.30. Enter #CP EXT to interrupt. PING: Ping #1 response took 0.002 seconds. Successes so far 1. ------------------------- Has anyone else encountered this issue? We use RACF, but I don't see any error messages going to RACFVM or OPERATOR, so I don't think it is RACF related. Plus, when we IPL 5.2 on the test LPAR, it uses the same RACF database and we don't have this issue. Any ideas?
