Sherry, The only way to get 4500 cylinders from a 3390-3 is to put two of them in an SFS filepool. If you already have this set up, then the rest is relatively easy. You can use the "VM minidisk" install method with minor changes. Upload the files to SFS with your terminal emulator, then follow the directions for VM minidisk install. When you're told to access the minidisk, access the SFS directory instead. If the process runs out of memory and abends, IPL CMS and re-run the command that failed. It will restart from a checkpoint and keep going. Eventually, you'll get to the end.
Dennis "If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself." -- James Madison, in Federalist No. 51 -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU] On Behalf Of Sherry Everhart Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2011 13:13 To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: [IBMVM] 2nd level z/VM 5.4 installation Frank, no, we don't have TCP/IP running on 1st level VM. (At least I don't think so!) And I don't understand the Filepool method that Alan spoke of either. Sorry, Alan, but mostly when you tell me things it all sounds a bit like when Charlie Brown's teacher talks.... (Good grief... :)) And Dennis, I don't know how to get 4500 cylinders from a 3390-3 disk, so that I can copy all the files on the dvds to a VM minidisk, which leads m e back to my first posting.
