Re: CFRM

2022-09-03 Thread John Argall
Hi, 

The CFRM policy, along with a coupling facility is what turns it from basic 
sysplex to parallel sysplex. 
The CFRM needs another sysplex CDS , and you basically define what structures 
you wish to run in there.

Re: DS6800 array - not booting

2022-09-03 Thread Joe Monk
"After powering on the enclosure, the information indicator flashes to
indicate that the system is initializing and is not yet ready to be
accessed by either the management console or host systems. Once the
flashing amber light turns off, initialization is complete and the system
is ready for I/O.

"CAUTION:

"Upon power on, a discovery process is initiated to detect all hardware.
This process can take an extensive amount of time, depending on the number
and type of attachments. You must wait until this process is complete
before initiating any other processes."

DS6800 array - not booting

2022-09-03 Thread Adam Stouffer
Hello all. I'm one of the volunteers at the Large Scale Systems Museum 
in New Kensington, Pennsylvania. Some of you might be familiar with us 
or even taken a tour. A generous company has donated a decommissioned 
DS6800 array with disks. We would like to get this configured for our 
systems but have run into a road block. It powers up but neither 
controller shows any signs of life. No output from either console port 
and no ethernet links. The orange system information light is flashing 
and all the documentation says this light should either be on solid or 
off. No mention of it flashing. The drives all spin up in groups and the 
battery lights indicate they are charged. The ficon link lights also 
flash. It just seems like the controllers are not booting. Has anyone 
seen a flashing system information light or know how to troubleshoot 
further? Thanks.

I'm surprised, skeptical even, that DFSORT implements regular expressions 
entirely with
fresh code rather than employing available library functions such as regcomp() 
with a
brief description of how arguments to regcomp() depend on options in DFSORT 
commands.

An exemplar of what I consider wise design and documentation is REXX BPXWUNIX:
Parameters
cmd
The shell command that you want to run. The shell is run as /bin/sh -c 
followed by
the string that you specify as the command. If a login shell is requested, 
the shell
is run passing a single argument similar to the sh -Lc command.
...
It makes no attempt to describe the syntax of shell commands, which are 
described
in another publication (which it fails to cite.)

The following existing DFSORT functions are not compatible when used with 
Regular expressions:
Locale

Ouch!
