Re: ZDNET actually says something nice about IBM LINUX

2011-10-05 Thread Mike Shorkend
Yes, sure you can run thousands of guests on one IFL. But running what?

I really can't go into specifics but lets say that we are running less than
20 servers per z10 BC IFL(a mix of production and test). These are mainly
WAS and a some  Oracles.
As for the question asked about 30% less of what.let me just say that
instead of our prediction of running a specific mix of workload on 2 IFLs,
in reality it needs 3 IFLs

Re: ZDNET actually says something nice about IBM LINUX

2011-10-05 Thread Mike Shorkend

At the time it was definitely the right move. For those who have not seen my 
presentation - at the time we had no other option but to use zLinux as we had 
no room at our DR site for any more blade type servers.
Our current issue is that the ratio of zLinux guests per IFL is much lower than 
what was expected. THis has an affect on the TCO/TCA of the whole project. Add 
to that the challenges that we have zLinux(lack of supported third party 
solutions, internal politics, general virtualization issues) and we are taking 
a hard look at the platform. 

Sheldon asked the question because we want to know if the ratio we have is 
comparable to other sites.

Re: Paging increase when going from z/OS 1.9 to 1.11

2011-05-05 Thread Mike Shorkend
Gadi
When we migrated from z/OS 1.9 to 1.11 we were hit by APAR OA33307 which
caused excess paging.

Description

   -

   At z/OS R11, if system is >2Gig REAL, RSM will schedule an SRB
   ( IAXUO IARUOGBS ) to perform Frame Steal operations running
   under the *MASTER* asid if a PageFix against HighVirual (64bit)
   storage is done and no High Frames ( > 2Gig Real) are available.
 RSM attempts to protect 31bit Real Frames as best as possible
   by first stealing 64bit real frames if none are available.  This
   causes whichever jobs that originally owned those frames (often
   DB2) to be paged out to AUX when at R10 this was either done to
   a much smaller extent or not at all.   Whichever job/application
   owns the most High Frames ( >64bit) is most likely to experience
   the highest number of frames being stolen and thus an increase
   in AUX Slots.   This can *potentially* (though not always)
   result in performance delays for that application when those
   pages have to be paged back in to real frames.
 This problem is usually seen almost immediately upon migrating
   to z/OS R11, and especially if Real storage is between
   2Gig - 4Gig  OR  (for systems > 4Gig) all of the High Frames
   ( >64Gig ) are in use.  For systems between 2Gig - 4Gig the more
   predominant external symptom is abnormally high CPU in *MASTER*,
   running under IARUOGBS ( IAXUO ).
   ADDITIONAL SYMPTOMS:
   MsgIAR005E may be issued if reconfigurable storage is present.



You might want to check that you have the PTF for this APAR applied

Re: When will MVS be able to use cheap dasd

2010-10-08 Thread Mike Shorkend
We have been using (relatively) cheap SATA disks connected to our Hitachi
USP.
IBM says that XIV for z/OS is on the road map. I do not know when this will
happen.

Re: Identify all MVS images in a CEC

2010-09-20 Thread Mike Shorkend
Barbara - very true regarding LPAR names , but this gave me another idea.
The newer HMC (2.10.x ?) shows an OS type for each LPAR.
You could write some code using  BCPii (or the older SNMP API) to harvest
this information for each LPAR.
I think that this answers the OP's request?

I work with the OP. We are migrating from z/OS 1.9 and it is indeed a z9, so
HSA is still part of the customer's central storage.
We have found an OPEN APAR OA33307 which describes our problem. Hopefully
there will be a PTF soon as the End-of-Service date is approaching.

Re: PAV Implementation

2010-04-20 Thread Mike Shorkend
We implemented HIPERPAV on our USP last year. It is a priced feature but we
did not require any services from Hitachi. As other posters have mentioned,
implementing PAV/HIPERPAV is pretty straightforward. IOSQ time disappeared
entirely.
The only down side was that going to HIPERPAV (but not  PAV) requires a 2107
emulation. As we were still on a 2105, it required a power recycle to the
box , which of course meant a sysplex-wide outage plus an outage to
distributed servers using the box

Re: tcpip nameserver

Matan
Look at  the  DOMAINORIGIN  statement in your TCPDATA.

* DOMAINORIGIN statement
 ==
 DOMAINORIGIN specifies the domain origin that will be appended
 to host names passed to the resolver.  If a host name contains
 any dots, then the DOMAINORIGIN will not be appended to the
 host name.

Re: Comparing - ISPF (3.12 and 3.13) with Comparex

2010-02-13 Thread Mike Shorkend
This is what we did about a year a go - we got rid of Comparex and replaced
it with File-AID(which we have anyway)
The way we did it was by building our own wrapper for comparing files. That
way, if we ever replace the compare engine again we don't have to change
hundreds of jobs.
This time it was very time consuming - going through all the jobs and
replacing them with our wrapper.
We did not find any Comparex feature that File-Aid could not do

Re: HDS/USP Model 27 DASD and DB2

2009-12-29 Thread Mike Shorkend
This was not a cosolidation, Only new table datasets  have gone to the new
MOD-27 disks(no logs, no catalogs).

The disks in question have an IORATE of  about 5 IO/sec with a response time
of 20-25 ms. The CU is a new one - so there is not much else happening on
it.

I am going to look in to the SMS setting that Ron Hawkins mentioned.

thanks

Re: HDS/USP Model 27 DASD and DB2

2009-12-29 Thread Mike Shorkend
Thanks for your responses.
Ed/Adolph - the disks are net new - we have not started consolidating yet.

Ron - Cache disk ratio was my error - I meant cache hit ratio.

The DB2 disks used until we started this experiment are all MOD-3 with
hyperpav.

I am not aware of cache partitioning - I will look into it.

We currently have 3 MOD-27s and approx 190 MOD-3s with DB2.

I am going to look into the Array Group activity monitor

Another factor - DB@ I/O is low compared with our total IO profile

HDS/USP Model 27 DASD and DB2

2009-12-28 Thread Mike Shorkend
Hello All,
We have started experimenting with MOD-27 disks on a USP600 box.
We have found that with DB2, response times have deteriorated significantly.
We are seeing response times of more than 10ms on a fairly active disk.
Disconnect time accounts for about 90% of the time. Cache disk ratio has
gone down for these disks to less than 10%.
HYPERPAV is active - IOSQ time is zero. zHPF is not enabled.

z/OS 1.9. DB2 V8.

We have opened an issue with Hitachi.
Has anyone else experienced this in a similar configuration?

Thanks

Mike

Re: Instream Commands

AFAIK, It is the submitter. I tried issuing a protected(via RACF OPERCMDS
class) command from a job submitted by an unauthorized user and it failed
with a ICH408I message.

Re: Any users of FlashCopy with Hitachi

2009-07-28 Thread Mike Shorkend
We use Flashcopy on a USP600 and it is also available on the USP-V machines.
It is an additional priced feature.
It is almost compatible with IBM Flashcopy. The one missing feature that we
have found is that it does not support the dfdss FCTOPPRCPRIMARY parameter.

Re: Deleting UnExpired dataset using JCL

Try using IDCAMS DELETE with the PURGE option
e.g.

//  EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
 DEL V110.TGBA.TESTDEL PURGE

Re: Refresh telnet server certificate?

2009-01-24 Thread Mike Shorkend
Brian
I ran in to a similar problem a while back. I had to replace the certificate
created by gskkyman(not a RACF certificate) but I am guessing it is pretty
much the same.
I used the V  TCPIP,,TELNET,STOP,PORT=xx command followed by an OBEYFILE
command pointing to the telnet profile statements.
(you will need to replace the xx with the relevant port)
If I remember correctly, it was z/OS 1.4
see here for a full explanation of the VARY TELNET commands

Re: Is this PPRC or Flashcopy?

It is PPRC . HDS calls it True Copy.
You do not need Flashcopy for this to work.
