All our image names have a dash. I have been able to successfully run snIPL with the option "-x" which returns all the image names. It's only when I pass an image name as an option, that snIPL has a problem. First example works, second doesn't snipl -L xx.xx.xx.xx -x snipl -L xx.xx.xx.xx -r CCPUC-LX2

CCPUC-LX2 Hi, I talked to Ursula (the current maintainer of snipl) and she told me to forward this to the list as she is not subscribed: ----------------------- currently snipl assumes that an image name does not contain a dash '-' and defines an extra dash-usage required when snipl talks to the HMC refering to an image name of a specific CPC. I have introduced this in 2005 after I have been told: " The '-' character is NOT a valid character for the CPC or Image name. The valid characters are basically A-Z and 0-9. These are documented in the help panels for the HMC/SE tasks tha are used to define these names. " If this is wrong, and a dash '-' is a valid character for an image name, I have to determine another character unallowed in CPC / Image names that I can use for snipl to separate CPC and image. I am going to contact my HMC-colleagues within IBM to determine whether dashes are valid in image names or not. ------------------------ -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards Christian Borntraeger Linux Software Engineer zSeries Linux & Virtualization ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
