Hi Peter. To update the VM directory without dirmaint you can use 

DIRECTXA <filename>     <-- being <filename> the name of your file with
filetype DIRECT.

On the other hand try the following: 

- ipl cms parm instseg no
- It will get into VM READ state. Press ENTER.
- Then Q DISK
- Then access 591 z
- The Query command should work fine. If Access 591 z fails it might be due
to the loss of your virtual device 591 so try doing this: 

- Link <userid> <mdisk> <591> <access mode>       <-- being <userid> the
user to which the disk you need belongs
- access 591 z                                                  <mdisk> is
the virtual device address for that user's disk
        
<access mode> can be RR or MR depending on Read Only or Read Write

good luck

Asunto: z/VM Virtual Switch Controller define problem



We are in the early stages of setting up z/VM for our Linux guests.

I am trying to add a virtual switch controller while following Getting
Started with Linux on zSeries on page 71. We are not licensed for dirmaint
so I did not use the procedures on the preceding pages. However, I did
create user VSWCTRL1 successfully. Anyway, I can logon to VSWCTRL1 and all
seems fine. While doing step 4, I receive the following:

LOGON VSWCTRL1
12:54:38 z/VM Version 5 Release 1.0, Service Level 0401 (64-bit),
12:54:38 built on IBM Virtualization Technology
12:54:38 There is no logmsg data
12:54:38 FILES:   NO RDR, 0006 PRT,   NO PUN
12:54:38 LOGON AT 12:54:38 EST SATURDAY 11/27/04
12:54:38 GRAF L0005 LOGON  AS  VSWCTRL1 USERS = 9     FROM 10.10.150.3
z/VM V5.1.0    2004-11-10 08:32
access 591 z
DMSACP723I Z (591) R/O
Ready; T=0.01/0.01 12:55:03
12:55:26 COPY TCPROFILE EXEC Z PROFILE EXEC A
12:55:26 HCPCMD001E Unknown CP command: COPY
12:59:55 Q DISK
12:59:55 HCPCQV003E Invalid option â DISK
13:00:55 L *
13:00:55 HCPCMD001E Unknown CP command: L

It seems I am allowed one command. Any subsequent command does not seem to
be recognized. I am a z/VM newbie so be kind. Thanks to for any insight
anyone can give.

Peter
