Re: CF LPAR MIPS Utilisation

Yes. Parallel Sysplex.
No ICF Engines.
During "As-is" migration , Legacy system migrated from 2 z900 Processors
(which were in sysplex) to z9BC.

CF LPAR MIPS Utilisation

2009-12-04 Thread John Mitchelle
Hi,

I have 936 MIPS processor Z02-2096 z9BC

I have 4 LPARS and 2 CF LPARs

SYSA (Prod)

SYSB (Dev)

SYSC (Test)

SYSD (Maint)

SYCF1

SYCF2

Both CPU Engines are online across all LPAR's.

Wts are in such a way that MIPS Allocation are

650 for SYSA

50  for SYSB

50  for SYSC

50  for SYSD

100 MIPS for SYCF1 and

36  MIPS for SYCF2 ,


SYSA is UNCAPPED and SYSB, SYSC and  SYSD are CAPPED.

Recently we are having issues related to MIPS capacity.

I am aware that in case SYSA needs more capacity then it can take from
SYSB,SYSC,SYSD if   available.

However, was wondering whether system will allow to take MIPS from
Coupling Facility LPAR's as well or not if available ?

These are the structures in use for CF

ISGLOCK
IXCXCF1
IXCXCF2

Is there any advantage in getting rid of these coupling facility ?
Will that give us comfort ofhaving these additional MIPS ?

Can anyone explain how does the IBM Capacity On Demand works for z9 machines
and how it impacts the softwares/applications running on the mainframes ?

Re: SMS Dataset Allocation Problem

2009-06-23 Thread John Mitchelle
I am aware of ACS routines and there is also Storage Class assigned for this
dataset through this ACS routine. Are you saying that there is specific
parameter which decides the multivolume dataset allocation ?

Hi Kees,
Thanks for this. But what is meant by  "Your ACS routines appanrently don't
provide you with a multivolume dataset"

SMS Dataset Allocation Problem

2009-06-23 Thread John Mitchelle
We have IBMUSER.NDSP.** defined as SMS Managed datasets.

My DBA trying to allocate SMS Managed dataset with space as
//SYSREC01 DD DSN=IBMUSER.NDSP.DATA,
//  DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
//  SPACE=(CYL,(2000,1800),RLSE)

The job is failing with error
IEC030I
B37-04,IFG0554A,IBMUSE1,S02,SYSREC01,9D96,ND0016,E6002130,IBMUSER.NDSP.DATA

But if DBA submit the same job with space parameters as

//SYSREC01 DD DSN=IBMUSER.NDSP.DATA,
//  DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
//  SPACE=(CYL,(2000,1800),RLSE),
//  UNIT=(DISK,40)

Then the JOB completes with RC 00.

Please note that the only diff is of UNIT parameter. Can anyone explain me
why this happens ?
