Re: ZFS Address Space, shared ENQ but filesystem isn't mounted
Wonder how the situation will differ, if zFS didn't run as a separate address space (as recommended, at least for zOSMF's benefit). Instead if zFS was managed by the OMVS STC itself... - KB --- Original Message --- On Thursday, January 5th, 2023 at 2:39 AM, Mark Jacobs <0224d287a4b1-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu> wrote: > I've been working this problem with IBM support.

Re: ZFS Address Space, shared ENQ but filesystem isn't mounted
I've been working this problem with IBM support. Somehow ZFS knows about the file system, but OMVS doesn't. The file system is flagged as quiesced. The zfsadm unquiesce command fails to reset it. We've identified the problem occurred after a BPXWMIGF mirror activity without mounting/renaming the target file system. IBM is unaware of any current known issues with BPXWMIGF.

zPipe - z/OS Piping Available as CBT File 1035
This is an initial version of zPipe and includes some of the most important modules. The primary goal being to get feedback on the approach. The rest of the 100 modules are more Pipelines compatible and I hope to add them to the CBT distribution after I convert them to this technique and finish testing. https://www.cbttape.org/ftp/updates/CBT1035.zip Enjoy! Oh, and this puts some teeth into the statement, "REXX is the new C." OREXXMan Q: What do you call the residence of the ungulate with the largest antlers? A: A moose pad. :-D Would you rather pass data in move mode (*nix piping) or locate mode (Pipes) or via disk (JCL)? Why do you think you rarely see *nix commands with more than a dozen filters, while Pipelines specifications are commonly over 100s of stages, and 1000s of stages are not uncommon. REXX is the new C. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
Re: SMPE recreate a target library... Possible?
One way of effectively providing a backup is to clone the target zone before applying maintenance. Then apply to the clone. -- Tom Marchant On Wed, 4 Jan 2023 09:16:58 -0600, Dejan Stamatovic wrote: >I agree totally.

Re: SMPE recreate a target library... Possible?
@ Michael Babcock I agree totally. Only backups provide a sure way out of problems during applying maintenance. All other methods mentioned here, might or might not work. So just to make a point here: Make sure you have a consistent backup of all affected data sets before applying maintenance. SMPE might not be able to recreate a target library or it might take too much effort to use SMPE to do that.

Re: SMPE recreate a target library... Possible?
And start making backups! I always make backups of target and dlibs, SMPE libs, ZFSs, SYSRES, and DLIB volumes too. All right before applying maintenance.

Re: SMPE recreate a target library... Possible?
Yes, the GENERATE command will generate jobs to construct target libraries from the content in the distribution libraries. However, APPLY REDO later for more than a handful of PTFs might be dicey. If you go this route I suggest you first ACCEPT the PTFs that have not been accepted yet, then use GENERATE, and forego APPLY REDO. Note, GENERATE will generate JCL to construct ALL target libraries, not just the zFS... be careful if you don't run the entire generated job stream as you have a great potential to create target libraries containing mismatched service levels. Depending on the product(s) you might be better off re-installing from scratch... its safer. > Look at the GENERATE command.

Look at the GENERATE command. It should do what you want, but I haven't tried it. sas On Tue, Jan 3, 2023 at 4:07 PM Rob Schramm wrote: > So I know all the information is in SMPE.

If you did not accept the functions and PTFs, try apply redo since they are still in the SMPPTFand relfiles. *| **Itschak Mugzach | Director | SecuriTeam Software **|** IronSphere Platform* *|* *Information Security Continuous Monitoring for Z/OS, zLinux and IBM I **| * *|* *Email**: i_mugz...@securiteam.co.il **|* *Mob**: +972 522 986404 **|* *Skype**: ItschakMugzach **|* *Web**: www.Securiteam.co.il **|* On Wed, Jan 4, 2023 at 12:00 PM Lizette Koehler wrote: > You might want to open a case with IBM SMP/e on this issue > > Not knowing the product or how it is packed, you might see if they can > help. > > Some of the ZONE* commands may work.

You might want to open a case with IBM SMP/e on this issue Not knowing the product or how it is packed, you might see if they can help. Some of the ZONE* commands may work. But I am not sure.
