I have removed the ethernet word on link statement. 

And it works ! Thanks !

What would be the impact if i start a z/os and a z/vm test environnement ? 
Ethernet word will not be required ?

Performance i/o problem

2023-11-19 Thread Alain Benvéniste
Hi,

With a z/VM7.3 with the last RSU and a z/OS2.5 I met this week a performance 
problem for a client who restores on our site.

My z/OS is required to restore the z/OS client's bootstrap. 
When done I need to change several things for him to IPL.
It means that the dasd are shared between my z/OS and his.
I let my z/OS active, no reason to stop it.

The client IPL his z/OS and sends his restores.
Checking DASD throughput we are at 1/3 speed that it should.
After spending the day to search, I forced my z/OS then all the speed was 
there for the client.

I wonder how my z/OS could impact client's restore just because I access the 
dasd, doing absolutely nothing on it.

This morning I did a backup of client's data, the speed seems ok.
Now I restore and the speed is down to 1/3...

It looks like z/os brakes througput…

If you have any clue : I can test.
An issue is opened.


Regards
Alain

Re: VTS and volume categories (Friday questions)

2023-05-22 Thread Alain Benvéniste
I don’t know if it answers part of your question, but i have clients who used 
to use categories for production and catégories for DR to be able to write in 
their vts on specific tape ranges. And depending on the licences your vts has, 
you have to consider tape allocation : imagine you want to save your system 
with 256 drives using 25go tapes. The vts needs to allocate all the space in 
parallel. It may accept it or not depending on the number of licences, can’t 
remember which one, you but.

 Volume categories (0001, 0002, and so on) are useful for library

 Categorie are good to request big tape of small tape (JA, JK) or newer
 or older (JB, JC...).
 However the last sentence was good for real tapes.
 In VTS world we have virtual tapes and the max. volume size is
 determined in DATA CLASS construct - so one can have several sizes
 within category.
 
 So, the question arises: what is a purpose to have multiple categories
 for one SMS-plex? Of course, there is no obligation to more than one
 scratch category, however what goal can be achieved by using more than
>> one?
 I see the only one: different scratch Expiration settings.
 
 BTW: all the volumes and drives are emulated, but... are there any
 architectural limits (i.e. volume size) resulting from choice o CAT 00x1
 aka MEDIA1 vs 00x2, etc. ?
 
 Rather obvious, but I want to ask: is there any reason to define more
 categories, that means for MEDIA3 and above?
 In real tape world 3490E drive was completely incompatible with MEDIA3,
 4, etc.
 And the VTS allows to insert only CST (MEDIA1) and ECCST (MEDIA2)
 virtual volumes.

INITSQA under VM

2022-02-13 Thread Alain Benvéniste
Hi 

I started a client's MVS under our VM.
We received a IEW303W 878-04 abend.
INITSQA   1500K at position 10-14 was added in his load.

I would like to understand and our client too, what is the reason of this abend 
because he didn't fail into this at home.
Same memory and both side, 1 CP more on VM side, less UCBs accessed on VM but 
some devices in client's IOCP defined. On VM side we have a supersized IOCP. I 
learnt the client works in sysplex, not under VM...

Any idea ?
Alain
