Re: DFHSM - URGENT HELP

2007-11-16 Thread Joel C. Ewing
If the migrated dataset was scratched, the MCDS definitions for the 
dataset are gone also, and this is what is causing your recall failure.


In addition the the DEF NVSAM to catalog the dataset, you will also need 
to determine what ML2 volume contains the dataset (may require looking 
at old HSM CDS backups) and then run an DFHSM AUDIT on that tape, which 
will then see the dataset cataloged to MIGRAT and on the tape but not in 
the MCDS and propose/make the necessary fixes in MCDS to make the 
dataset accessible again.


Another approach that we occasionally use, assuming you have backups of 
the HSM CDS datasets and a recovery/test MVS platform that can be used:
You can bring up an HSM environment on a test system with back level 
versions of the production CDS datasets that still have the dataset on 
ML2 and catalog the dataset to MIGRAT with DEF NVSAM on the test system, 
 Recall the dataset there, and then export the dataset back to the 
production system by some means, where it can be re-migrated back to ML2.

Then try to recall the dataset. If it fails look in the HSM Storage

Recovery Scenarios Chapter (at least that is the case in the 1.8
manual!). You would look for the heading:
Reestablish Access to Previously Deleted Migrated Data Sets (No Backup

That should fix you up.

Re: Running REXX program in a batch job

2007-11-16 Thread Joel C. Ewing
I've always assumed there was slightly less overhead in running batch 
REXX without the TSO TMP, provided you didn't need any TSO commands or 
ISPF services - but I suspect this overhead is minimal.  I believe you 
also avoid the need for several DDs, which in a bizarre case might make 
a difference.


We regularly run batch TSO (batch TMP), batch REXX, and batch ISPF from 
production batch jobs, which all run under userids with no TSO access 
(No TSO Segment and not in SYSUADS).


I can't conceive of any rational reason why a sysadmin or auditor would 
want to restrict batch TMP usage.  It buys you no power or data access 
that could not be derived by other means, except perhaps for the 
somewhat dubious ability to execute CLISTs - but everything a CLIST can 
do can be better done by REXX.


The reasons for restricting interactive TSO usage have traditionally 
been because of the greater system overhead of running tasks in an 
interactive environment, and perhaps because of the fear that the 
relative ease of interactive searching and browsing would potentially 
make it easier for someone logged on to TSO to stumble across and misuse 
sensitive data if someone had failed to adequately protect it.  Use of 
TMP non-interactively in batch has not raised these issues.

Subject: Re: STK SILO DEVTYPE 9490

I agree with Roy Hewitt and Mark Zeldon.

Way back when, I was a user of the STK UIMs so that I could gen the
9490s
as device type 9490.  But, after some z/OS (or perhaps OS/390, it was
some
time ago) change came along, and the STK UIMs didn't work correctly
anymore, I changed to using the standard IBM UIMs - and have not looked
back since.

If you do decide to go down the path of installing the STK 9490 UIMs
into
z/OS (the modules must go into SYS1.NUCLEUS, by the way), please post
back your results as I'd be curious to hear if STK ever fixed their UIMs
for the
problem we hit several years ago.

There is one side effect to using the IBM 3490 UIM for the 9490 device.
The
IBM UIM for 3490 expects the Control unit to have 16 devices behind it.
The
STK UIM 9490 allows for what the STK device actually does - one control
unit / one device.  As a result, when you generate the production IODF
using
the IBM 3490 UIM, HCD issues a warning message.

CBDG448I Following 8 control units of type 3490 have less devices
 attached than the minimum number of 16 unit addresses:
 0230, 0231, 0232, 0233, 0234, 0235, 0236, 0237

This message appears, and the job I run to create a production IODF ends

RC=4.  Everything works correctly - I believe this is how nearly every
STK
9490 user does this.

Re: Dataset-held message to TSO user

2007-11-16 Thread Skip Robinson
ISGECMON appears to work as self-advertized. A quick test on our sandbox
gives good results: the owning user is notified regardless of where the job
is running.

Note that this program works altogether differently from DSNHELD, which is
an MPF exit kicked off by message IEF863I on the batch job's system.
ISGECMON, running on every system with an interval pop, eventually detects
the conflict wherever the user is logged on, so TPUT gets issued on the
'right' system.

Thanks to all for the quick help. We're venturing into our first
bronze-plex this weekend, so users will likely see some GRS false
contentions. Having sysplex-wide notification will help.

For many years we have run an MPF exit called DSNHELD, apparently

glaring deficiency: it uses TPUT and can therefore send its message only to
a user logged on to the same system that's running the job.

In a sysplex we need to send the message to the user wherever he's logged
on in the GRSplex. Does anyone have a more modern mechanism to accomplish
this goal? I don't find anything on the current CBT.

The old one of course! (which is why I wrote "library reader" although
I didn't capitalize it).   I do have the new one installed on my
workstation because the old one doesn't support PDF bookshelves and
the WebSphere stuff is only available as PDF now.

I've never looked at doing that.   If it took extra cycles on z/OS
then that would be one more thing to add to our costs so I guess I 
shouldn't look at doing it.  At least not until it runs on a zAAP or zIIP. :-)
I have enough software to configure and support on z/OS as it is!  :-) :-)

I guess my preference is the windows version because that is what I have 
used since the CD collections became available.  Not many shops I've been 
at had it on MVS.  Here, the sysplex that read/mvs is on gets poor TSO 
response time as it is and I assume searches would go to TSO period 2 or 3. 
I know the guys that grew up with that sysplex (I inherited it via
consolidation)
use it on MVS.

What subsystem ate my message

2007-11-16 Thread Field, Alan C.
Earlier this month there was a thread on which sub-system ate my
message. 

 

That was another poster and the thread was left hanging.

 

I'm in the same situation. I set the SLIP, collected the trace records
and I can see a number of sub-systems

seeing the message. 

 

How do I determine which is the one that is suppressing the message?

 

I expected to see a bit being turned on by one of them but so far I
haven't found anything that points me to a specific subsystem.

2007-11-16 Thread Gregory, Gary G
My first "real" job was in 1984 with Texas American (Bank) Services in
Fort Worth.  When I started we were in the process of "insourcing" all
of our applications from EDS and one of the first three we brought back
in house was ATM processing (followed by ACH and Corporate Trust).  TASI
built a new operations center in Bedford to be closer to the airport
(for cash letter transit) and Memorial Day weekend, 1984 we moved two
3890 sorters, a 3083, 4341 and a 370/148.  During the move, IBM loaned
us a 4341 and DASD that ran the ATMs and the interface to PULSE for the
weekend.

Does anyone remember the CICS-based ATM software that the old MTech
wrote and marketed?  Later on in 1985 I did a tour of duty with UCCEL's

Yep! And oh by the way, it also sounds exactly like the bank that was my

Anyway, he tells me "The Evolution of the SRM to The Workload Manager in

"Dispatching Management in MVS - TCBs to Enclaves" should have been

There is one side effect to using the IBM 3490 UIM for the 9490 device.
The 
IBM UIM for 3490 expects the Control unit to have 16 devices behind it.
The 
STK UIM 9490 allows for what the STK device actually does - one control 
unit / one device.  As a result, when you generate the production IODF
using 
the IBM 3490 UIM, HCD issues a warning message.

CBDG448I Following 8 control units of type 3490 have less devices
 attached than the minimum number of 16 unit addresses:  
 0230, 0231, 0232, 0233, 0234, 0235, 0236, 0237  

This message appears, and the job I run to create a production IODF ends

RC=4.  Everything works correctly - I believe this is how nearly every
STK 
9490 user does this.

I keep them on our LAN.  It is really easy to keep them up to date
with Softcopy Librarian.  It isn't very often that manuals are updated
within a given release anyway (so I only check every few months).

We can... and do have manuals on z/OS in one of our sysplexes.  I just
prefer library reader for win-doze over the mvs version.

If it was only a couple hours DFHSM shouldn't have had time to clear out
all backups of the dataset.  Did you try either RECALL or RECOVER?  If
so, what command did you use and what was the output?

First of all, shut the caps-lock key off. It looks like you're yelling

Did you try doing the DEFINE NVSAM that John (I believe) tossed out?

At least at our site, before a dataset can get migrated, it must be
backed up via DFHSM backup routines. You could try running a DFHSM
RECOVER command to try to get the most recent backup of the dataset. 

Post the actual command you tried below. That could give us a clue as to
what you actually tried! Running the RECALL command against the dataset
would be the correct way to get it back from the ML2 volume.

How long ago did the dataset get uncataloged? Depending on what DFHSM
has run since the uncatalog happened may cause you problems.

Do you have any full-volume backups of the pack it was originally on?
If so, you may be able to get it back from a backup.

Re: STK SILO DEVTYPE 9490

2007-11-16 Thread Brian Peterson
I agree with Roy Hewitt and Mark Zeldon.

Way back when, I was a user of the STK UIMs so that I could gen the 9490s 
as device type 9490.  But, after some z/OS (or perhaps OS/390, it was some 
time ago) change came along, and the STK UIMs didn't work correctly 
anymore, I changed to using the standard IBM UIMs - and have not looked 
back since.

If you do decide to go down the path of installing the STK 9490 UIMs into 
z/OS (the modules must go into SYS1.NUCLEUS, by the way), please post 
back your results as I'd be curious to hear if STK ever fixed their UIMs for 
the 
problem we hit several years ago.

There is one side effect to using the IBM 3490 UIM for the 9490 device.  The 
IBM UIM for 3490 expects the Control unit to have 16 devices behind it.  The 
STK UIM 9490 allows for what the STK device actually does - one control 
unit / one device.  As a result, when you generate the production IODF using 
the IBM 3490 UIM, HCD issues a warning message.

CBDG448I Following 8 control units of type 3490 have less devices
 attached than the minimum number of 16 unit addresses:  
 0230, 0231, 0232, 0233, 0234, 0235, 0236, 0237  

This message appears, and the job I run to create a production IODF ends 
RC=4.  Everything works correctly - I believe this is how nearly every STK 
9490 user does this.

Here's definitions for eight 9490 devices, with device numbers 230-237:

Issue the DEFINE command again but use device type DEVT(X'78048083').
Then try to recall the dataset.  If it fails look in the HSM Storage
Administration Guide and follow the steps for Case 9 in the Data
Recovery Scenarios Chapter (at least that is the case in the 1.8
manual!).  You would look for the heading:
Reestablish Access to Previously Deleted Migrated Data Sets (No Backup

That should fix you up.

Re: CICS 3.1 Installation and Web Services for CICS

2007-11-16 Thread Rich Smrcina

Hunter,

I actually got the same impression from his original post.

Ken,  Web Services provides program-to-program communications which can 
be (but doesn't have to be) cross platform.  So an application on Linux 
for System z or Windows (for instance) can call a CICS program.  A CICS 
program, on the other hand, can also call a program running on other 
platforms.


It's certainly not new technology, but it's very cool!

Hunter Cobb wrote:
You might want to distinguish between using CICS as a web server (check 
the CICS TS 3.1 Internet Guide, SC34-6450),  and using CICS as a Web 
Services  provider (check the CICS TS 3.1 Web Services Guide, 
SC34-6458). As a web server, CICS can deliver both static web pages and 
application-generated pages. As a Web Services provider, CICS responds 
to program-to-program requests from the web. FWIW, CICS can also act as 
a Web Services requester.


 From your original posting, it sounds like CICS as a web server is more 
what you have in mind. For this, you'll probably need to define several 
CICS resources: TCPIPSERVICE, DOCTEMPLATE, and URIMAP. The web services 
assistant programs DFHLS2WS and DFHWS2LS don't get involved when using 
CICS to act as a web server.


Hope this helps. Feel free to contact me off list.

I would think that you would be better off having a z/VM LPAR with a number of

Ah, a man after my own heart.  Note, however, that since one of the engines is 
an IFL, there will need to be at least 2 LPARs, since you can't mix CPs and 
IFLs.  Even so, sharing all those resources under z/VM will make life a lot 
easier for everyone.  And I love being able to IPL systems from my desk, and 
have the console right there in front of me.

2007-11-16 Thread Greg LaChapelle
We have just setup TELNET to run in it's own address space under z/OS 1,7, 
does any one have experience with automatically restarting TELNET & FTPD 
using an automation product. The TCPIP doc says that AUTOLOG will not 
check for and restart "Generic Servers" like TELNET and FTPD. AUTOLOG does 
start them when TCPIP comes up initially but not when TELNET or FTPD are 
stopped or ABEND.

Re: CICS 3.1 Installation and Web Services for CICS

2007-11-16 Thread Hunter Cobb
You might want to distinguish between using CICS as a web server (check 
the CICS TS 3.1 Internet Guide, SC34-6450),  and using CICS as a Web 
Services  provider (check the CICS TS 3.1 Web Services Guide, 
SC34-6458). As a web server, CICS can deliver both static web pages and 
application-generated pages. As a Web Services provider, CICS responds 
to program-to-program requests from the web. FWIW, CICS can also act as 
a Web Services requester.


From your original posting, it sounds like CICS as a web server is more 
what you have in mind. For this, you'll probably need to define several 
CICS resources: TCPIPSERVICE, DOCTEMPLATE, and URIMAP. The web services 
assistant programs DFHLS2WS and DFHWS2LS don't get involved when using 
CICS to act as a web server.


Hope this helps. Feel free to contact me off list.

Hello -

We have CICS3.1 installed (up and running) and I am trying to find 
information regarding Web Services for CICS and how to implement and use.  
 Is WEB SERVICES for CICS 
installed as a part of CICS 3.1?   If so, is there some additional 
customization required for it? Any good 'cook books' out there or 
other good documentation ?
Any hints, tips, or comments on this are greatly appreciated.I am 
primarily an MVS sysprog with rather limited CICS background.  Our goal is 
to have users invoking CICS to go after Web pages for information.


Thanks much.

I tried your suggestion for the DEVT.  Still same error message:
   
  IDC3009I ** VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 168 - REASON CODE IS IGG0CLEH-4 

  I will keep on digging.

Then try to recall the dataset. If it fails look in the HSM Storage
Administration Guide and follow the steps for Case 9 in the Data
Recovery Scenarios Chapter (at least that is the case in the 1.8
manual!). You would look for the heading:
Reestablish Access to Previously Deleted Migrated Data Sets (No Backup
Exists, ML2 Only)

That should fix you up.

Before I RCF these...

2007-11-16 Thread Ray Mullins
Hi gangs on both lists,

 

Has anyone reported either of these two documentation errors:

 

1)   ASMA042W is documented as E in the HLASM V1R5 Programmer’s Guide

2)  WTO MF=E TEXT says to always use parentheses, but if the operand is
an RX-label it really should not have parentheses, otherwise it’s
interpreted as a register anyway (noted at z/OS V1.8)

 

If not, I’ll file the RCFs.

 

TIA,

Ray

  My apologies for using caps-lock.
   
  I tired the DEFINE NVAS command and I am having a problem with device type:
  IDC3009I ** VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 168 - REASON CODE IS IGG0CLEH-4
   
  I know it is a high density drive 9840 (STORAGETEK) but it doesn't seem to 
work.

  DEFINE NVSAM (NAME(SCCPM1.GBANK.LOG3.FDBS0658.G0001V00 )  -  
DEVT(9840) -  
VOLUMES(MIGRAT) - 

  I perfomed a recall of another migrated dataset just to verify the drive type 
and it shows the device type as 3590.
   
  I tried the RECOVER but it failed because of :
  ARC1001I SCCPM1.GBANK.LOG3.FDBS0658.G0001V00  RECOVER FAILED, RC=0028,

George,

Yes you could define them as 9490, and as you have discovered you will 
need to install various modules to install the HCD UIMs, as HCD does not 
understand '9490'


However, there is little point in doing this as you can just as easily 
define them with Control Unit 3490 and Device Type 3490. I have been 
doing it this way evey since 9490s became available - never had a problem.

Based on Michael Stack's note, that happened quite a while back.  But, even if 
it hadn't, does IBM have to give NIU the same thing it gives anyone else?  I 
would rather see them donate hardware and software to as many different places 
as possible.  UMR would be one such place, since that's where I got my CSc 
degree.  I'm positive there would be many other good choices.

Oh, to be sure.  Just the fact that 99% of the world (that knows about such 
things) thinks "mainframe" == "z/OS" indicates that.  I've worked with z/OS, 
z/VM, and Linux concurrently.  As such, I get to hear all the complaining about 
that fact.  So, to me, hearing people complaining about "what, not z/OS?" is 
like complaining about ISU verus NIU.  IBM can't throw a bone (and a relatively 
small one at that: z890?)  to its poor neglected other children without being 
called stupid, or dishonest?

Catalog it to MIGRAT with a device type of X'78048081'. Also, all
migrated files are NONVSAM.

DEF NVSAM(NAME(SCCPM1.GBANK.LOG3.FDBS0658.G0001V00) -
DEVT(X'78048081') -
VOLUME(MIGRAT))

I __think__ that is correct. Well, off to the group lunch! OutBack Steak

IF DFHSM still has it available via archive(?), then just restore it. If

use G0001V01 (which is the next version of the generation data set

DFHLS2WS/DFHWS2LS are procs to invoke the batch java programs needed to
create the WSDL from the commarea.
they should be in SDFHINST.
When you run the catalog manager example, the doc will tell you where
everything is and running DFHLS2WS is part of setting it up.

also, check the CICS INTERNET guide for more info about the sample

Yes, Web Services is installed as part of CICS 3.1. Yes, there's
customization required. 

The manual Web Services Guide on the CICS/TS 3.1 bookshelf is the
obvious place to go for doc. There's also a Redbook "Implementing CICS
Web Services" which gives a lot of cookbook style advice.

And of course there's always the CICS-L list.

Re: Newspaper: IBM Invests $5M in Illinois State Univ.

2007-11-16 Thread Derry, James E
I can calm some of your fears.  While I have nothing to do with the Academic 
Initiative Program here at ISU, I was the Derry quoted in the article.  Have 
you ever tried to explain a variable priced computer and incremental software 
charges to non-technical newspaper people before.  It ain't easy.  

The z890 that was loaned to ISU will be configured as a model 370 and with an 
IFL.  It will be configured with 4 LPARS.  A z/OS LPAR will be for operating 
system students to install, configure and IPL at will.  I can only imagine how 
many times that will be IPL'ed in a day.  The other LPAR will be a more stable 
z/OS system for teaching DB2, COBOL, Assembler, and other courses.  I heard at 
Educause that a large retail company has donated 2 million rows of 
transactional DB2 data for the Academic Initiative project.  There will also be 
two z/VM LPARS with Linux instances under them.

What I thought was interesting was that the program included any IBM software 
that the students want.

The one thing that did get to me during the ceremony was that they kept talking 
about the old baby-boomers that are currently running the systems.  I don't 
want to be called old at 49.

Have a good day all you gray-beards.

HSM secondary space management - order?

2007-11-16 Thread Jennifer Currell
Does anyone know how HSM determines the order to move eligible datasets 
from ML1 to ML2? We have HSM secondary space management set up to run 
between (0900 1600) and it usually runs out of time. However when you look 
at the MIG logs it seems to process the datasets in alphabetical order eg.

ARC0734I ACTION=MIGRATE FRVOL=ML1087 TOVOL=A06490 TRACKS= 1
 DSN=AA.UNITSUPP.VP.UPLOAD.OSELECT.GDG.G0001V00

Some of our bigger datasets seem to be at the end of the alphabet and so 
never seem to get processed by secondary space management. Is there a 
way to change it so that it processes the bigger datasets first?

Thanks

Good point! And the plus is that the tersed file can be quite a bit
smaller, which reduces the transmission time. Of course, it takes CPU to
terse/unterse the file. There's always a trade-off.

Since you are dealing with a target (maintenance) data set, an alternate
method would be to rename it via ISPF 3.4 VOLUME list.  Even though 
it is ENQed, you can do this with the proper RACF authority (Search
the archives of this list, ISPF-L, or google for more details).  After you
rename it you can do what you please (delete / re-alloc) and then 
rename it back. Obviously ... YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE
NOT RENAMING THE "REAL" DATA SET.  With the proper authority,
for the rename, you could rename you live SYS1.LINKLIB and 
delete it... and the system will let you do so.

Also, even if you want to do it the other way... there is no reason to
stop LLA on every system (nor would you want to since that impacts
performance).  You can just create a CSVLLAxx member with
REMOVE(data.set.name) and use F LLA,UPDATE=xx instead.

Re: SYSTRACE in SYSMDUMP

2007-11-16 Thread Lizette Koehler
I woudl probably verify what I dump to SYSMDUMP.  You can do this with a D D,O 
command.

You should see something like the following
IEE857I 10.13.16 DUMP OPTION 713   
  SYSABEND- ADD PARMLIB OPTIONS SDATA=(LSQA,TRT,CB,ENQ,DM,IO,ERR,SUM), 
   PDATA=(SA,REGS,LPA,JPA,PSW,SPLS)
  SYSUDUMP- ADD OPTIONS SDATA=(TRT,CB,ENQ,DM,ERR,SUM), PDATA=(SA,REGS, 
  LPA,JPA,PSW,SPLS,SUBTASKS)   
  SYSMDUMP- ADD PARMLIB OPTIONS (NUC,SQA,LSQA,SWA,TRT,RGN,SUM) 
  SDUMP- ADD OPTIONS (ALLPSA,NUC,SQA,LSQA,RGN,LPA,TRT,CSA,SWA,SUMDUMP, 
  Q=YES,XESDATA),BUFFERS=K,
  MAXSPACE=2500M,MSGTIME=1 MINUTES 
 SYSFAIL NO STRLIST OPTIONS
  ABDUMP- TIMEENQ=0240 SECONDS 
  
In this example you see TRT which indicates  System trace table and GTF 
trace, as available. 

Then if you do not see all the stuff you want dumped in SYSMDUMP you need to 
specify in SYS1.PARMLIB.

Then,  I would think you could use IPCS to find the information you need.

You know, even though I'm a z/VM guy, I respect all mainframe life.  I

- How to communicate and cooperate with people
- How to plan for growth

- How to plan for disasters
- The meaning of "compatibility"
- The difference between a computing system and a computer
- Why a disk drive going south after only 5 years of operation is a Bad Thing
- Why BSOD and a three-finger salute is not acceptable

You know - all that "inherent mainframe coolness" (to quote Bill Bitner) that 
we take for granted.  As long as they come away with
- "Mainframes exist outside of the movies"
- "Mainframes aren't part of the Evil Empire"
- "Mainframes can do things other computers cannot"
- "It's not only about clock cycle time, stupid"
 
then the jump to z/OS or z/VM or z/VSE or z/TPF or as managers of zLinux 
farms (even if they don't manage z/VM itself!) won't make them feel like 
they've been abducted by aliens.

Any progress is Goodness.

z/OS V1R6 to V1R9 migration

2007-11-16 Thread Giliad Wilf
Hi All,

We're a shop running z/OS V1R6 and z/OS V1R7, looking into migration to z/OS 
V1R9

Migration manuals for z/OS V1R9 say nothing about supported migration paths for 
safely
going from z/OS V1R6 to z/OS V1R9 and insuring safe fallback in case backing 
out is
required (maybe IBM is only saying that such a scenario has not been tested)

Looking into some APARs listed in the "Migration" manual (GA22-7499-11), I can
occasionally spot PTFs per these APARs, for pre-V1R7 system components too(*), 
and I can
glean them and install them on my z/OS V1R6 system

Will it suffice ?

Has anyone done such a migration leap and cares to share experience ?

What do IBM staffers here have to say on this ?


(*) For instance, the "Migration" manual (GA22-7499-11) lists UA22351 (APAR 
OA13525) as
a PTF required for z/OS V1R7 IEBCOPY (HDZ11K0) to tolerate format-5 program 
objects
introduced at V1R8. Looking up OA13525 at
https://techsupport.services.ibm.com/server/zseries.srchBroker I can see it 
suggests
UA22350 for HDZ11J0, UA22349 for HDZ11H0, and UA22348 for HDZ11G0. So, seems 
applying
UA22350 is supposed to make V1R6 IEBCOPY (HDZ11J0) tolerate format-5 program 
objects.
Isn't it ?

Another example: The "Migration" manual lists UA24984 (APAR OA12922) as a PTF 
required
for z/OS V1R7 JES2 (HJE7720) to coexist with V1R9 JES2 in a MAS. Looking up 
OA12922 at
https://techsupport.services.ibm.com/server/zseries.srchBroker I can see it 
suggests
UA24984 for HJE7720, UA24983 for HJE7708 (V1R5 JES2, this is the JES2 we have 
on our
V1R6 system), and even UA24982 for HJE7707 (V1R4 JES2). So, seems applying 
UA24983 is
supposed to make V1R5 JES2 coexist with V1R9 JES2, per this APAR. Am I wrong ?

To expand on the original question, we have a network link between 2 sites
that can't handle the default MTU size as defined on the Ethernet cards on
the HMC console (it's a z9).

We have a few options available to us to resolve this, and, as some have 
so
helpfully pointed out, one of those is to get the network configuration 
changed

to allow the MTU size. While our network colleagues are investigating the
impact to live services of that change, we were just wondering if any one 
had
altered the MTU on a z9 HMC Ethernet card? Or, less specifically, has 
anyone
logged into native linux on their z9? We believe we could alter this value 
with

an IFCONIG command. Apparently it is possible but we are struggling to get
hold of the default user ID and password. (If anyone knows them it’d be
greatly appreciated if they’d email me off list!)



We may very well end up needing to make the change to the network to
resolve this 'challenge' but personally i would rather have as many 
options
open to us as possible and would only put our clients connectivity at risk 
only

as a last resort (if at all!).

Re: good, bad, or ugly?

2007-11-16 Thread Staller, Allan
My zfs file systems are *not* SMS managed and I have no issues.


Lucymarie Ruth

 
No good reason not to, but IBM is making us take a step backward by
making zFS'es VSAM.  That means we have to go back to having
SMS-managed, non-esoterically cataloged filesystems. Not good for those
folks who like to clone their filesystems just like any other datasets
when building their system residence volumes.

 file. 

Mark,
they only way I know to free others systems' ENQ is 

1) P LLA on every system (frees LLA ENQs)
2) SETPROG LNKLST,UNALLOCATE on every system (free XCFAS ENQs)

Once you are done with your activity on the dataset, issue 

1) SETPROG LNKLST,ALLOCATE
2) S LLA,SUB=MSTR

Re: Remote HMC Access setup

2007-11-16 Thread Paul Coyne
To expand on the original question, we have a network link between 2 sites 
that can't handle the default MTU size as defined on the Ethernet cards on 
the HMC console (it's a z9). 

We have a few options available to us to resolve this, and, as some have so 
helpfully pointed out, one of those is to get the network configuration changed 
to allow the MTU size. While our network colleagues are investigating the 
impact to live services of that change, we were just wondering if any one had 
altered the MTU on a z9 HMC Ethernet card? Or, less specifically, has anyone 
logged into native linux on their z9? We believe we could alter this value with 
an IFCONIG command. Apparently it is possible but we are struggling to get 
hold of the default user ID and password. (If anyone knows them it’d be 
greatly appreciated if they’d email me off list!)

 

We may very well end up needing to make the change to the network to 
resolve this 'challenge' but personally i would rather have as many options 
open to us as possible and would only put our clients connectivity at risk only 
as a last resort (if at all!). 

Thanks in advance.

Re: Incremental Backup/Restore for HFS/zFS

2007-11-16 Thread Jim Marshall
>Hi List,
>Anyone out there can share the Incremental backup & restore procedure for 
HFS/zFS instead of Full Volume Backup ?
> 
One solution here is Tivoli Storage Manager for z/OS (think HSM for the 
distributed world) where it runs on the smallest machine (less cost) in the 
SYSPLEX and has a small license charge to dump/restore to other larger 
machines in the SYSPLEX. In this way I leverage the automation of z/OS, 
exploit the VTS/3494 managed by RMM (or CA-1). You get the ability to dump 
other things besides zFS/HFS files in the distributed world such as Oracle, 
DB2, Windows, etc, not to mention Linux on z file systems.

Re: Problem with a CVC defined channel

2007-11-16 Thread Paolo Pirillo
Hello Walter,
Because there is only this device attached on this channel and only the PROD
LPAR needs access.
On the previous channel there are attached 4 devices like printers etc.
I defined the new statement with HCD. What you see is the extract from HCD.
I defined the new channel dedicated, so normally there is no possibility to
select a candidate LPAR.
Before i do the dynamic reconfiguration the old channel was active in the
PROD partition.

Regards

Paolo

Re: Migration from z/OS 1.4 to ???

2007-11-16 Thread Mike Myers

Ted:

Thanks for the reply.  On some IBM websites, when you investigate the 
migration options, and you are looking at something outside the 
supported V1R4 to V1R7 path, you get "contact your IBM representative". 
Well, although I was a 20-year IBMer, I am inclined to ask the people 
who support the systems in the real world if anyone has found a way 
around the prescribed solution. While I may well have to follow the 
prescribed solution, it doesn't hurt to ask.

There isn't one, unfortunately.
IBM only promises compatibility for N, N+1, N+2, N+3.
Where N is 1.4 and N+3 is 1.7.
There are control blocks, catalogues and other things that change too 
drastically.

Plus, in this case, a lot of JES2 exits change in 1.7.

You could try it, but you would be on your own.

Paolo,

why did you change the PARTITION statement ?
In the second stmt looks like PRODUKT is both on the access and the candidate 
list, too.

Would the statement below

PARTITION=((PRODUKT),(ENTWICK,SYSPROG),REC),,PCHID=16C,  

be more consistent to your previous configuration ?
