<FRUSTRATION> Then why doesn't it say a 2074 is required anywhere in the Guide for Automated Installation and Service (GC24-6099-01). Equally it is not mentioned in the SAPR and none of my account team are familliar with this. <Quote> In Step 1 sub para 4 (p12) it only says:
If you are installing with CDROM and you are: Installing from a PS/2 with OMA/2, refer to the Optical Media Attach/2 Users Guide and the Optical Media Attach/2 Technical Reference. Installing from a 2074 Console Support controller capable of reading Optical Media Attach format, refer to the AWSOMA.DOC in the service Element directories. </QUOTE> I would (and did) read the first line as if you are using the below mentioned equipment read the other data otherwise continue as detailed. I'll be putting this into a RCF but just had to vent ! Alan, Thanks for your help (note there is no end frustration symbol at this point) On Sat, 2005-02-05 at 01:54 -0500, Alan Altmark wrote: > On Friday, 02/04/2005 at 04:08 PST, Ranga Nathan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > The CD for z/VM is meant for the unit that emulates tape.
