Thanks to everyone that responded to my original hand holding request.
With everyone?s response we were able to install z/VM 5.3 as a second
level guest to our z/VM V5.1. We also applied the latest RSU maintenance
and have performed backups of our 5.3 system.
We are now looking to migrate our users (system programmers). Remember, we
only use z/VM for Linux guest only. I was going to migrate (cut and paste)
our z/VM 5.1 guest directory entries into our z/VM 5.3 user direct and
perform a DIRECTXA which should work. We only have about 20. But. . . . we
have some sharing concerns.
For example: I want to cut the following entry from user direct on z/VM
5.1 and paste it in user direct on z/VM 5.3 and put it online.
USER X062PEA ******** 64M 100M ABCDEFG
INCLUDE IBMDFLT
ACCOUNT 1 SYSPROG
IPL CMS
MACH XA
OPTION MAINTCCW LNKS LNKE LNKNOPAS
LINK TCPMAINT 0592 0592 RR
MDISK 0191 3390 11 5 VMUSR0 MR
MDISK 0199 3390 31 100 VMUSR0 RR
Volume VMUSR0 looks like the following under our current 5.1 system:
DASD 6815 CP SYSTEM VMUSR0 13
Here are the questions.
Can I attach 6815 to my second level z/VM 5.3 guest and then logon with
x062pea or do I need to detach it to our first level z/VM 5.1 system.
Are they any sharing concerns that I need to be aware of?
Our final z/VM 5.3 test will be ipling it in a separate LPAR. Are their
additional sharing concerns I have to worry about?
Anthing that will get us on the right track is appreciated. We want to
make sure that we do not cause problems with our production z/VM,
especially over the long holiday.
Thanks as always.
Peter
