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 Saludos, Josà RaÃl BarÃn Dpto.

Abresch Jr. - at Pepco Enviado el: sÃbado, 27 de noviembre de 2004 19:06 Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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.
