we do allow it in plan...frustrating on some vendors getting key/psw's... then I have others that do exactly what I suggest...grace period to get keys/psw's..but your up and running..

Thus, your DR plan should incorporate possible delays while these errant CPU codes are squared away. Add that task to the list of things to do and assign a body to it. >>> Ron Wells <ron.we...@slfs.com> 6/27/2013 8:34 AM >>> taking a step back and going to jump on vendors that does not allow at least 3days on a different system....not very smart not allowing this for DR purposes and couple vendors we have normally mess up the key/password we need on DR... From: David Kreuter <dkreu...@vm-resources.com> To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Date: 06/26/2013 03:37 PM Subject: Re: REXX mod Sent by: Linux on 390 Port <LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU> I recall from years gone by that z/OS will issue a DIAGNOSE code when running under z/VM and fetch the real CPU serial number. So the handy CP SET CPUID won't fool any vendor "nim wads". Some of the vendors got bent out of shape with the notion of changing a z/OS CPUID so the DIAG instruction included a function code to always return real system info. DIAG function '218'x. Not that I am advocating this (perish the thought) but at IPL time in the virtual machine you could TRACE DIAG 218 and store your desired values into the buffer it returns.

It can be used to change the serial number for that v.m. guest but not the hardware model number.
