Good catch, Ed! I suspect that somewhere along the line Tom did something like DDR the sysres to a new volume, and then re-labeled it. In doing so, at some point perhaps the allocation map was wiped out, and was then manually re-allocated.
Tom... if this is actually a new sysres and not your production sysres, try running SALIPL to re-write the StandAlone Program Loader (SAPL). Or, being lazy like me, run the MKSALIPL EXEC pasted below my signature.

This is z/VM 5.4 with RSU 1003. I am IPLing native (LPAR) on a z9. I have other systems running the same level z/VM without any problem.. I am sure it is something I have done. It would be nice if the message was documented, so I would know where to look. It is not urgent today I have backups so I am running now. I need it to work by the time the z196 comes online in a couple of weeks.

Page 149 explains the "000A" as a machine running in ESA/390 mode. But there is no corresponding HCP015W, or HCP00FW message (the latter of which, with a hex value, would start a whole new thread). Can you tell us more about _what_ you are IPLing? Is it CP on 1st level, CP on 2nd level, CMS, or some utility program - on what size virtual machine, in what mode (provide output from CP Query SET). That info might help point someone in the right direction. Also, what's the proper level of urgency? :-) Mike Walter Aon Corporation The opinions expressed herein are mine alone, not my employer's.
