Is the OSA port set up correctly? I spent many happy hours trying to start an OSA port a couple of years ago until I discovered that the port was set up as Token Ring, not Ethernet. The reason? There was a little wrap plug in the T/R port... I took the T/R wrap plug out, put the Ethernet one (

We have to use custom-made LSZH (Low Smoke - Zero Halogen) in our new computer rooms - ours are a very nice bright green. I've also seen beige ones - I think they, like the green ones, were made by someone other than IBM. Regards, Roy Harrop D1-38, CTC +44 (0) 1489 444 391 --

FW: VTAPE from Virtual Software Systems

2008-09-04 Thread HARROP, Roy
We considered VTAPE some years ago, but then went out and bought a brand-new IBM VTS. It's shared between our (very old) VM/ESA 2.4 and (even older) OS/390 systems. It's set up so that OS/390 sees a string of 16x 3490Es and VM sees 32x 3490E. We use a lot of NL tapes, and the data format on so

FW: ADD VIRTUAL MEMORY DYNAMICALLY

2008-08-07 Thread HARROP, Roy
Am I missing something here? The subject matter is "Add Virtual Memory Dynamically", which has got to be a function worth having - but why would anyone want to remove it? Surely it's akin to being able to add packs for paging - and you can't take them away (cue for a song?). This may be half

Ricoh printer/copiers and VM

2006-10-03 Thread HARROP, Roy
Has anyone succeeded in making a VM system print to Ricoh Aficio 3045 PCL 5e or Ricoh Aficio 3235C Multifunctional copiers via RSCS?   We’ve recently replaced a lot of our photocopiers with these machines, which are connected to the Windoze network to allow printing from the PCs.  I now n

FW: real ctc vs vctc on tcp/ip

2006-09-12 Thread HARROP, Roy
We have two CTCs between an old VM/ESA system and an even older OS/390 system running on separate physical processors. One of the CTCs connects the TCP/IP's on these systems and the other connects VM's RSCS to OS/390's JES2. The relevant bit of the VM IOCDS: CHPID PATH=(BB),TYPE=CTC,SWITCH=01

VM's SMTP server

2006-03-17 Thread HARROP, Roy
Hi, Some time ago, our network people changed the address of their mail server. I duly changed all references that I could find in the VM system to point to the new address. Now VM's SMTP recognises the new IPMAILER address and sends mail destined for the real Outside World to the correct place
