Hi Pieter,

i logged in as MAINT user and run "x direct user c" command.
then edited the file, saved, run the command "diskmap user", run the
command "x user diskmap" and searched for overlaps. And there was no
overlap.
Then executed "directxa user" and re-ipled Z/VM.

This is the procedure which our Z/VM guy wrote to me and im the Linux
guy.So i dont know if it was a source directory or parts of a segmented
directory on DIRMAINT disks. Our Z/VM has left the company some time
ago, and we dont have one yet.
Due to ipl didnt work us, we executed a POR (power on reset) and saw a
hardware message about FICON Channel Error, Lost of Light or something.
So we thought maybe it's a hardware failure. But i dont know how to be
sure about that.

There is also one weird thing, we re-configured all guests memory
settings, but some guests still run properly some doesnt ipl.

Regards

Can you describe in more detail what you exactly did?
I hope you are talking about manually changing a monolithic source directory 
and not parts of a segmented directory on DIRMAINT disks? If the latter that 
won't work and there is a fair chance you clobbered your directory. In that 
case I hope you have a recent monlithic source directory to recover or you 
could be in for some trouble.
After you made the changes I assume you also manually ran DIRECTXA against it? 
If not your changes are not active and you can simply logoff/logon you guest to 
get back to the old config.

best regards,
Pieter Harder

Onderwerp: HCPGIR450W and HCPGIR453W after editing user direct

Hello all,

We have 14 Sles Guests running on Z/VM 5.4. We edited the user direct
file and changed the memory settings of Linux guests.For example;

linux001 - 2048M 4096M
linux002 - 2048M 4096M
has changed to
linux001 - 3072M 6144M
linux002 - 1024M 2048M

Now, i cant ipl my guest's. When i try to ipl from minidisk 100,
linux 001 says:
HCPGIR453W CP Entered, program interrupt loop.
linux002 says:
HCPGIR450W CP entered, disabled wait PSW 00020001 80000000 00000000 001536B0

It seems disk mapping are broken but i'm totally sure that i only
changed Memory settings, not touched minidisk settings.

Need your help please.

Regards
