George, ARC0744E RC36 is the result of missing or misnamed preallocated CDS backup data sets. It says the MHCR and CATALOG entries for the most recent BACKUP CDS version don't match. Try to issue the command: QUERY CDSV to see what HSM is seeing as the most recent version number. Try also to verify what you had specified in ARCCMDxx member for VERSION name.

Re: z/OS Tag Sort
John, AFAIK, your problemis tracked by this message: ICE2471 INTERMEDIATE MERGE ENTERED - PERFORMANCE MAY BE DEGRADED. To avoid this situation, increase the DFSORT installation default DSA from it's shipped default of DSA=64 to DSA=500 to allow these larger sorts to allocate up to 500MB of virtual storage if needed. For very large sorts, consider increasing it up to 2000, which would allow the sort to use as much region as is available if needed. Note that DFSORT's dynamic storage adjustment calculates the optimum amount of virtual storage for each sort and the DSA parameter is a limit. So increasing DSA will not cause every sort to use more virutal storage but instead allow sorts that need a larger amount of virtual storage to do so.

Re: IGD17070I - Where is RC=12 Reason=5F01083F explained better?
Peter, The meaning of IGD17162I RETURN CODE (12) REASON CODE (5F01083F) is as follows: 5F = Compression Management Services. 01 = Module ID (01 = CMPSVCAL (allocation)) 083F = RS_NO_BENEFIT RETURN CODE (12) (X'0C') with 083F = RS_NO_BENEFIT means: The data set is not eligible for compression. The data set attributes show that the data set will not benefit in space utilization or number of I/O operations from the compression. Compression might incur unnecessary overhead for its data processing. The requirements for compression are as follows: - The data set must already have met the requirements for Extended Format. - Compression Management Services requires the data set to have primary allocation of at least 5 megabytes in order to be allocated as a compressed data set. - Compression Management Services requires the data set to have a primary allocation of 8 MB if no secondary allocation is specified, in order to be allocated as a compressed data set. - Compression Management Services requires that the data set have a minimum record length of forty (40) bytes, not including the key offset or key length. Note: For VSAM KSDS, the CMS requirement to have a primary allocation of 5 MB is due to the amount of sampling needed to develop a dictionary token. The 5 MB allocation MUST be for the data component only. If the amount is specified at the cluster level, then the index component will use a portion of the 5 megabyte allocation. This will result in the data set not meeting the CMS space requirement, and the data set will not be eligible for compression processing. The above is also true for the 8 MB primary allocation if no secondary is specified. _ Paolo Cacciari IBM Italia S.p.A.

Re: IRA400E
Sharon, in my opinion, this is a too much buffer usage symtom for your XRC complex. The total amount of fixed buffers for your four SDM sessions is very close (or maybe exceeds) the amount of REAL memory assigned to SDM LPAR. This problem maybe originated by many sources: - spike on writes on your primary dasd subsystems; - performance problem on your journal dasd subsystem; - performance problem on your secondary dasd subsystem; - too much fixed buffers for your LPAR real storage amount. If you have XRC/PM active, you can see what happened looking at history data. Anyway, you can get a regular look to your SDM environment, using XRC commands to monitor delays. Hope this helps.

For this, ZFS waits for about 90 seconds (per filesystem) awaiting for previous owner activity on filesystem (internal timestamps are updated in case of activity on filesystem). This is for EVERY ZFS filesystem; as per your configuration (all ZFS fsys) you may expect long delays on OMVS restart after failure or abnormal end of original ZFS owner. Hope this helps.

Re: Dynamic PAV Device Limit?
. I have not been able to find any statement about whether WLM will put any limit on the number of aliases that can be assigned to a particular device when using Dynamic PAVs. Does anyone on the list know of a limit? Can anyone point me to a manual that would document whether this can occur or not? . Tom, no limits on Alias associated to a Base address by WLM. If your DASD IOSQ time is high, WLM can add Aliases to Base address until IOSQ time goes down. Sometimes WLM limits the number of Aliases if it determines that adding Aliases could interfere with other response times components, like DISCONNECT times or so on. In this case WLM has an arbitrary limit.

Re: FICON Saturation?
Joe, in FICON channel environments, if the CHANNEL has run out of resources (OE's/Credits) this is not shown in IOSQ time. This is recorded as PENDING TIME. As you certainly know, IOSQ time is time spent inside operating system in UCB queuing. During this state, WLM IOS are controlling I/O priority, and PAV can reduce IOSQ delay. In an XRC environment, high IOSQ time for primary volume may signify LONG BUSY; if LB is at LCU level, all volumes in that LCU can have long IOSQ time, even volumes with low access rate. You can have some metric about FICON utilization, analyzing PORT status for DASD subsystem in RMF.

I'm trying to use DFDSS under z/OS 1.4 to copy my z/VM 51 volumes and I am getting the following error message for every volume: ADR307E (001)-OPNCL(11), UNABLE TO OPEN VOLUME HI8801, 16 From message guide : 16 The VM-formatted volume does not have an OS-compatible VTOC beginning on track zero, record five. I try to format from z/OS, but without success with the copy, but when I format the output volumes under z/VM (ICKDSF CPVOLUME) its is OK. I am using the sysin : COPYTRACKS(0,0,3338,14) COPYVOLID - ADMINISTRATOR PURGE - CPVOLUME - INDDNAME(ENTRADA) - OUTDDNAME(SAIDA) Is it the only way to copy the volumes : 1) Format the volume from z/VM 2) Copy using DFDSS from z/OS or maybe I can format by z/OS ? Thanks.

Re: CF usage at DR location
Pat, believe me or not... there's no way to restart a Parallel Sysplex on a D/R site and with a one shot IPL operation, unless you have an empty XCF Couple Dataset and a COUPLExx parameter for D/R purposes. XCF couple datasets have an administrative section, generally not accessible by customer code, where infos about active sysplex are recorded and used in further restarts... To restart a parallel sysplex in a different location and with differents CF (in one step) you must have an XCF couple dataset clean and manually point (via PARMLIB) to your desired CFRM Policy (your loved one... with all CF specified)... As per CICS LOGR files, the only way is to have logstreams DASDONLY HTH ...snip ... I am not under a GDPS environment, only PPRC to our hotsite. All Peering will be broken when as DR scenario comes in to play. I want to have my policies available at the initial IPL of the DR system and take off where we had our primary system fail. I was hoping not to maintain multiple policies and if I come up with a clean COUPLE environment, how does it deal with CICS recovery where LOGR files were in use? I figured if I could understand a method to keep the COUPLE datasets intct from the priary site I would not have to do anything unusual at the DR location. ...snip ... _ Paolo Cacciari Business Continuity and Recovery Services, IBM Global Services - South Region, EMEA Via Darwin 85, 20019 Settimo Milanese(MI) – Italy - MISET001 The goal is to be prepared for a disaster not to continually plan for a successful test * [EMAIL PROTECTED] ( + 39 051 41.36799 Mobile: + 39 335 6287584 7 + 39 02 596.23288 -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: CF usage at DR location
Patrich, that can work provided thet you have defined and initialized a new XCF couple dataset and a DR copy of your COUPLExx member of PARMLIB, pointing to this XCF CDS and containing the CFRMPOL parameter, related to the CDRM policy name you want to start at the DR site. In this case, your policy can contain both primary and DR CFs. Hope this helps snip We are in the process of setting up a new Disaster Recovery scenario using PPRC DASD and a Hot Stand-by datacenter (z9 CBU processor) I have a question concerning how others have dealt with using a Coupling Facility in this scenario. At our DR site we will have one ICF configured on the same processor our z/OS image will run on no problem so far. We would like to not maintain multiple CF policies, all Structures at our primary location will need to be created at the Disaster site. If the COUPLE Datasets are Mirrored, how can I IPL the DR machine when the CFs will be different? Can I code a CF policy that has the DR CF defined as a non-preferred CF during normal processing and when a DR is called, will the Mirrored z/OS IPL and fail trying to use the primary CF and failover to the DR CF? Policy example: CF NAME(CF01) normal CF .. .. DUMPSPACE(2000) CF NAME(CF02) = normal CF .. .. DUMPSPACE(2000) CF NAME(CFCBU) == DR CF .. .. DUMPSPACE(2000) STRUCTURE NAME(OPERLOG_STRUCT) PREFLIST(CF01,CF02,CFCBU) Would this work if CF01 and CF02 are the normal CFs in use and CFCBU CF would only be used if IPL'd at he DR location? I rambled a bit, just couldn't figure a way to explain this easily. _ Paolo Cacciari Business Continuity and Recovery Services, IBM Global Services - South Region, EMEA Via Darwin 85, 20019 Settimo Milanese(MI) – Italy - MISET001 The goal is to be prepared for a disaster not to continually plan for a successful test * [EMAIL PROTECTED] ( + 39 051 41.36799 Mobile: + 39 335 6287584 7 + 39 02 596.23288 -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: CF usage at DR location
Pat, as I wrote, you actually CAN mantain your CFRM couple datasets, with your policy, provided that your policy comprises both primary and DR CF; what you need to have for DR purposes only, is an empty and initialized XCF COUPLE dataset (easy to do once and to forget) and a PARMLIB COUPLExx member, to be used in DR situations. ...snip ... I was hoping to use the existing COUPLE dataset and the existing policy. Since these datasets will be PPRC mirrored I was hoping to find a way to not maintain 2 separate policy definitions so that the day-to-day policy definitions would be automatically used at the DR location. ...snip ... _ Paolo Cacciari Business Continuity and Recovery Services, IBM Global Services - South Region, EMEA Via Darwin 85, 20019 Settimo Milanese(MI) – Italy - MISET001 The goal is to be prepared for a disaster not to continually plan for a successful test * [EMAIL PROTECTED] ( + 39 051 41.36799 Mobile: + 39 335 6287584 7 + 39 02 596.23288 -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
