Mike, It has been several years since I have IPL'ed from HMC itself because out Z9 is in another city. But what I remember is I entered my CCUU IPL address beside the Load address and entered SYSG beside the Load parameter. Once you IPL, you then need to bring up the SYSG console by clicking on the "Integrated System Console" under Recovery and it will be there.

I selected ICKSADSF to load, left the IPL PARMS blank, and pressed PF10. I instantly got the expected CLEAR SCREEN TO CONTINUE (or words to that effect) message in the lower right corner of the 3270 screen. So I'm sure the ICKSADSF MODULE is good, I'm just not giving it the right parms to point it to SYSG on my HMC. :( So far I have tried: CONS=SYSG SYSG CONSSYSG CONSSYSC CONSSCLP And I've left the parms blank as well. None of these have worked. :( -Mike -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of Michael Coffin Sent: Monday, October 18, 2010 1:22 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: ICKSADSF Parms Hi Rich, Unfortunately no, there are no running systems at the site where the DASD is (we're deploying PPRC and I chose not to replicate any system TEMP space, but I need to get the initial TEMP space set up at the remote site, should be simple but ICKSADSF won't load/run correctly, the stand alone DDR module loads and runs OK). I just tried putting CONSSYSG in the IPL PARMS of SALIPL while loading ICKSADSF per Alexander's suggestion, but that's not working either (tried CONSSYSC too). I've got a way to get the packs replicated to the remote site, but it would makes things really easy if I could just get ICKSADSF to load and run so I can allocate some PAGE/SPOL. :( -Mike -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of Rich Greenberg Sent: Monday, October 18, 2010 1:15 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: ICKSADSF Parms On: Mon, Oct 18, 2010 at 12:25:31PM -0400,Michael Coffin Wrote: } I've never had an occasion to use ICKSADSF from SALIPL until now (I have a } clone of my system with NO PAGE or SPOL, so it crashes right after IPL), so } I need to allocate a couple of packs.

Can you access any dasd belonging to the new system from a working system? Even if its not the packs you plan to use eventually, format and allocate some page and spool space and make the volser match something already in the system volume list as page/spool. Then you can IPL it and format allocate the desired pack(s) as page/spool, relabel the temp volume, and reipl. -- Rich Greenberg Sarasota, FL, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 941 378 2097 Eastern time.
