DFHSM Issue - Critical
Hello, Since last 2-3 days observing very strange behaviour of DFHSM. In the midnight DFHSM is not responding to any migration and recall request. Its started task DFHSM is not taking any CPU. But it was responding to all DFHSM QUERY commands. Tried cancelling ACTIVE REQUESTS using CANCEL USER and CANCEL DATASET , CANCEL REQUEST commands. But not a single request got cancelled. But most of the waiting requests were cancelled. Finally we had to CANCEL the DFHSM started task and Restarted and then it started working fine. Also observed that this issue occurred when CDS backup process was running. In the QUERY ACTIVE output could see that ARC0142I CDS BACKUP, CURRENTLY IN PROCESS I am not able to see any error messages. Probably my brain stopped working. Any idea on this ?

Re: DFHSM Issue - Critical
First, The CDS, OCDS, Journal backups will quiesce DFHSM during that time. Go back through SYSLOG and see when they start and stop. It just might be normal processing and you just need to wait until the backups of the CDS etal complete. How long do your backups take? Are you waiting long enough for the backups to completed? You may need to open an issue with IBM on it if your backups are taking too long. Lizette Hello, Since last 2-3 days observing very strange behaviour of DFHSM.

Re: HSM filing up 3592 cartridges
I don't remember if this was answered or not, but is there really a 99 volume limit in DFHSM? I would think that would be something fairly easy for the HSM people to change, atlhough I may be wrong about that. This whole thread reminds me of one of my first big projects as a sysprog when I worked for Milwaukee County. I wrote a system like HSM for backing up the changed and new datasets on our TSO packs. Everything back then was backed up to tape (good old 3420 round reels - state of the art at the time). I wrote everything out to tape using IEBGENER for one set of tapes, and IEBCOPY for another set of tapes. I think back then, the LABEL= parameter had a limit of 99, so we put a maximum of 99 files on each tape. Ah for the good old days when I wrote a lot of assembler!

You might have to ask someone, but even if they know there is an
IEFUSI in place to restrict the size, they might not know all the rules

Re: DFHSM Issue - Critical
BTDTGTTS, This is what has been colloquially known as a 'fatal embrace' and is not just limited to DFHSM. In my experience this has been caused by multiple HSM functions running in parallel with w/DFHSM CDS backup. The CDS backup enqueues exclusively and seperately on all three CDS's and the journal. If both (typically) backup and migrgration are running concurrently with the CDS backup, CDS backup can't get all of the datasets needed to complete. CDS backup is, however, designed to run concurrently with normal HSM operation. The simplest solution is to move the CDS backup to some other time of day. Note: Secondary space management will always take a CDS backup at the beginning of its cycle. HTH, snip But when DFHSM is hanging then even for 2 hours intermittently in response to QUERY ACTIVE command gets status CDS Backup in progress. When DFHSM is cancelled and restarted then backup completes in few minutes. Can CDS Backup run concurrently with other DFHSM operations ? /snip -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: OSAENTA device problem
Stuart Here's what is said about the PORTNAME operand of the VARY TCPIP,,OSAENTA command in the Communications Server (CS) IP System Administrator's Commands: quote PORTNAME=osa_port_name Specifies the name of the OSA port for which tracing is desired. This is the same port name that is defined on the VTAM TRLE statement PORTNAME keyword. This parameter is required. Tip: You are not required to also define OSA-Express to TCP/IP using the DEVICE/LINK or INTERFACE statement in order to collect trace data. Restriction: Multiple stacks cannot use the tracing function concurrently for a given OSA. /quote VARY TCPIP,TCPIP,OSAENTA,ON,PORTNAME=TRL408 is your command and TRL408 TRLE LNCTL=MPC, MPCLEVEL=QDIO, READ=0408, WRITE=0409, DATAPATH=(040A,40B), PORTNAME=OSA408 is your TRLE statement. You appear to be using the TRLE statement name rather than the name given by the PORTNAME operand. It's possible that this has something to do with your problem. To answer your presumed question - edited into an English sentence: Does anyone know how to activate it? but tentatively, try the following: VARY TCPIP,TCPIP,OSAENTA,ON,PORTNAME=OSA408 Before this post appeared, I had spotted the OSAENTA thing only with peripheral vision while researching other OSA-related topics, so thanks for the opportunity to become more closely acquainted with it. Incidentally 1: I see from the section on OSAENTA in the CS IP Configuration Guide that OSAENTA support depends on the OSA-Express2 feature in some way. Perhaps it is a matter of a microcode upgrade. Have you checked that your OSA feature supports OSAENTA? Incidentally 2: From the example of the output from a DISPLAY NET,TRL,TRLE command in the CS SNA Operations manual, I see only one DATA DEVice with STATUS=ACTIVE and three with STATUS=RESET. Given that this tracing function is a bit of a fiddle using existing structures, are you sure that the status of the DATA DEVice should change from RESET to ACTIVE? Perhaps someone who has already used the OSAENTA function can clarify this point. Incidentally 3: BOOK! There's a bit of a VSE flavour about that isn't there?

Re: OSAENTA device problem
Stuart I should have added a 4th Incidentally: There is a list more precisely focused on the Communications Server IP component than the IBM-MAIN list. This is the IBMTCP-L list. I should have mentioned this when you first started using the IBM-MAIN list for OSA-related problems. I believe I have discovered the solution to the second mystery mentioned in the earlier, OSA's Error codes, thread - discovered while researching a problem posted in the IBMTCP-L list naturally! I should post that in the earlier thread and actually hope to see a post from you there explaining how you resolved the problem described in the earlier thread. List archives are so much richer when there are solutions as well as problems posted in the list!

Sorry this is a bit misleading How Do I get the trace Device to an ACTIVE status as apposed to RESET Hope this make sense Regards Stuart -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Chris Mason Sent: 04 March 2009 15:10 To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: OSAENTA device problem Stuart Here's what is said about the PORTNAME operand of the VARY TCPIP,,OSAENTA command in the Communications Server (CS) IP System Administrator's Commands: quote PORTNAME=osa_port_name Specifies the name of the OSA port for which tracing is desired. This is the same port name that is defined on the VTAM TRLE statement PORTNAME keyword. This parameter is required. Tip: You are not required to also define OSA-Express to TCP/IP using the DEVICE/LINK or INTERFACE statement in order to collect trace data. Restriction: Multiple stacks cannot use the tracing function concurrently for a given OSA. /quote VARY TCPIP,TCPIP,OSAENTA,ON,PORTNAME=TRL408 is your command and TRL408 TRLE LNCTL=MPC, MPCLEVEL=QDIO, READ=0408, WRITE=0409, DATAPATH=(040A,40B), PORTNAME=OSA408 is your TRLE statement. You appear to be using the TRLE statement name rather than the name given by the PORTNAME operand. It's possible that this has something to do with your problem. To answer your presumed question - edited into an English sentence: Does anyone know how to activate it? but tentatively, try the following: VARY TCPIP,TCPIP,OSAENTA,ON,PORTNAME=OSA408 Before this post appeared, I had spotted the OSAENTA thing only with peripheral vision while researching other OSA-related topics, so thanks for the opportunity to become more closely acquainted with it. Incidentally 1: I see from the section on OSAENTA in the CS IP Configuration Guide that OSAENTA support depends on the OSA-Express2 feature in some way. Perhaps it is a matter of a microcode upgrade. Have you checked that your OSA feature supports OSAENTA? Incidentally 2: From the example of the output from a DISPLAY NET,TRL,TRLE command in the CS SNA Operations manual, I see only one DATA DEVice with STATUS=ACTIVE and three with STATUS=RESET. Given that this tracing function is a bit of a fiddle using existing structures, are you sure that the status of the DATA DEVice should change from RESET to ACTIVE? Perhaps someone who has already used the OSAENTA function can clarify this point. Incidentally 3: BOOK! There's a bit of a VSE flavour about that isn't there?

Re: OSAENTA device problem
Stuart Redbook's are Curate's eggs. Fortunately this is still a Draft so if I can stir my stumps, I can get the problem fixed. The problem is that the TRLE example in Appendix B is *not* the one used for all the command and display examples in the appendix - very poor! You will note that the commands and display examples refer to a TRLE with a PORTNAME operand value OSA2080 while the all the TRLE statement examples have a TRLE statement name OSAE200P and PORTNAME operand value OSAE200 - very poor! Nevertheless the convention adopted by the examples appears to be that the value of the PORTNAME operand is OSA and the name of the TRLE statement is OSAP - for whoever knows what weird reason! Thus, as I said in my previous post and you appear not to have noticed, you need to use the value of the PORTNAME operand of the TRLE statement also as the value of the PORTNAME operand of the VARY TCPIP,,OSAENTA command as can be seen from the example in the redbook, namely V TCPIP,TCPIPA,OSAENTA,ON,PORTNAME=OSA2080,IP=10.1.2.11,PORTNUM=2323 You will note that the PORTNAME operand here lacks a final P. I even made sure that this was the *only* example of the VARY TCPIP,,OSAENTA command in the whole redbook in order to be sure you had not been misled by another example. Thus, for the second time, the answer to your correctly composed question, even following the example in the redbook and according to your names, would appear to be VARY TCPIP,TCPIP,OSAENTA,ON,PORTNAME=OSA408 I've said it before, I'm saying it now and I'll no doubt be obliged to say it again: when you have problems having followed examples in redbooks, you'd better actually read the official manuals in order to be sure that what you think you understood from the redbook is correct. The official manuals in this case are the ones prefixed with z/OS VxRy Communications Server IP something. Redbooks are *not* official manuals. They are written by people like yourself who are drafted in to man - or woman - the redbook projects. They are not written by development shop authors. Incidentally, it would appear that, when a hardware address is understood to be a port used for the OSAENTA function, it changes its type from DATA to TRACE as well as changing status from RESET to ACTIVE.

This is the same port name that is defined on the VTAM TRLE statement PORTNAME keyword. This parameter is required. Tip: You are not required to also define OSA-Express to TCP/IP using the DEVICE/LINK or INTERFACE statement in order to collect trace data. Restriction: Multiple stacks cannot use the tracing function concurrently for a given OSA. /quote VARY TCPIP,TCPIP,OSAENTA,ON,PORTNAME=TRL408 is your command and TRL408 TRLE LNCTL=MPC, MPCLEVEL=QDIO, READ=0408, WRITE=0409, DATAPATH=(040A,40B), PORTNAME=OSA408 is your TRLE statement. You appear to be using the TRLE statement name rather than the name given by the PORTNAME operand. It's possible that this has something to do with your problem. To answer your presumed question - edited into an English sentence: Does anyone know how to activate it? but tentatively, try the following: VARY TCPIP,TCPIP,OSAENTA,ON,PORTNAME=OSA408 Before this post appeared, I had spotted the OSAENTA thing only with peripheral vision while researching other OSA-related topics, so thanks for the opportunity to become more closely acquainted with it. Incidentally 1: I see from the section on OSAENTA in the CS IP Configuration Guide that OSAENTA support depends on the OSA-Express2 feature in some way. Perhaps it is a matter of a microcode upgrade. Have you checked that your OSA feature supports
Re: DFHSM Issue - Critical
All this talk of cancelling DFHSM sounds scary to very wrong. In my experience, it almost always leaves the CDS's in a state of incompleteness. Requiring AUDIT and more. I've never had a hang due to CDS back-up starting in the middle of other processing. I do Autobackup, then Secondary, then Primary. The CDS back-up is the first part of Autobackup. You back up first as unbackuped files won't migrate. Secondary next for maximum ML1 space, then migration. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of O'Brien, David W.

The CDS backups rarely (with the exception of SSM) occur during concurrent migration and backup. BTW, I have also had this situation occur when a recycle was processing concurrent w/CDS backup. In my most recent case, a multi-vol recycle was running when the CDS backup started. The CDS backup enqueued behind the recyle. When the recycle completed the current volume, he could not proceed because the CDS backup had an exclusive Enqueue on the CDS and the recycle could not read the CDS to obtain a shared enqueue on the next volume to be recycled. The CDS backup could not proceed because the it could not get exclusive control of the CDS in order to proceed. A cancel will release both enqueues and allow things to proceed when DFHSM Is restarted. snip Allan, I find that CDS Backups run before my Incremental Backups but then I've always scheduled Backups before Secondary Space Mgt. Is it possible that HSM automatically backs up the CDS datasets before the first major automated process after midnight whether it is Primary or Secondary Space Mgt. or Incremental Backups if the CDSVERSIONBACKUP parameter is coded in Parmlib? I haven't found a clear description in the FMs. /snip Not sure about the what actually triggers the CDS backup either. In my case.

Re: 3490E cartridges
Of course. There are lots of technical solutions to the problem. Except for the fact it is, as you note, a political problem, not a technical one. And reasonableness is in the eye of the check-signer. While I personally agree that long term savings are a desirable goal, the customers I deal with are frequently MUCH MORE concerned with short term expenditures. In many cases, they will reduce the rate of delivery, extending the project for several years at significantly higher total cost, simply to contain the current year's cost. It might appear short-sighted but it's a fact of life. And after making all the recommendations I can, at the end of the day my real job is to give the customer what they paid for in a form they can use. We don't hide the fact it is costing them more in the long run. But a happy out of date customer is worth more than an up to date one annoyed that we forced them to upgrade.

Re: Synchronize time
...But if the question is, is there a way to synchronize Windows/UNIX server clocks *from* a System z time source without STP, the answer is yes. You can do that using NTP, which is available in both z/OS and Linux on z. - - - - - Timothy Sipples IBM Consulting Enterprise Software Architect Based in Tokyo, Serving IBM Japan / Asia-Pacific E-Mail: timothy.sipp...@us.ibm.com -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Antwort: Re: Group Limit and Weights
Hal, any answers you get are the theorie. The praxis looks a bit different. I made some analysis over the last weeks to understand how MSUs are distributed under capping. Sometimes it works like expected, but there are also times where - one lpar gets much more than expected, - the sum of group MSUs is significantly over the group limit, - capping is on although the group limit isn't reached - just one (of two) lpar is capped (what rules are then active?) Probably this phenomenons are caused by the pretty small capacity each lpar has (40 MSUs and 12 MSUs on a 1202 MSU machine), so the granularity is too fine.

Say L1 and L2 are group capped at 100, and are weighted 90 10 respectively. We are capped and L1 and L2 are running 50/50, but L1 abruptly needs more juice. How long would it take for L1 to get fed? -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Al Sherkow Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2009 11:07 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: Group Limit and Weights The capacity of the group is distributed to the LPARs in the group based on the normalized weights of the LPARs in that group. When the group limit is exceeded L1 would be 40 MSUs, (80% or 50) and L2 would get 10 MSUs. If L1 does not require 40, then the excess can be used by L2 (just like without group limits). If L1 is not running at all then L2 can have all 50 MSUs of the group. Al Sherkow, I/S Management Strategies, Ltd.

NFS as automove. Is it possible?
Hello: We have a Health checker check a it shows a error because a NFS filesystem is mounted with automove and the parent file is mounted as NO automove. We has tried to mount this NFS filesystem as no automove a we received a error. Is it possible do it?
