What trouble is MicroFocus in?

BTW, you know they did not buy HP? HP is alive and NYSE-listed. They bought HPE 
which was by then a totally different company.

I agree.  However, I think the need to sell SUSE has everything to do with the 
trouble Microfocus is in since the HP acquisition.

Believe it or not I have kept this manual published in 1989  because some

I was wondering if anyone is aware of something more up to date, (was going to

Delta Outage

2016-08-10 Thread August Carideo/RYE/US 
Some more interesting news on Delta

http://www.cringely.com/ 

here is some of the article
Delta Airlines was an IBM outsourcing customer, they may still be today, I 
don't know. They haven't returned my call.

Loss of power in a data center usually triggers a disaster recovery plan. When 
that happens you have two basic choices: switch to your backup systems 
somewhere else or fix the outage and recover your primary systems. The problem 
with going to backup systems is those backups usually do not have capacity for 
100 percent of the workload so only the most critical functions are moved. Then 
once everything is fixed you have to move your workload back to your production 
systems. That is often high risk, a major pain, and takes a lot of effort. So 
in a traditional disaster recovery setup, the preference will always be to 
recover the primary services.

Anything less than a 100 percent service backup isn't disaster recovery, it is 
disaster coping.

Now if the IT support team is thousands of miles away, offshore, the process 
for restarting hundreds - perhaps thousands - of systems can be slow and 
painful. If you lose the data link between your support team and the data 
center due to that same power outage your support team can do nothing until the 
data link is fixed.

Hello,
 We have z/OS and z/VM both in our Mainframe in diff LPAR. We recently 
added few more CHPID and devices and provided access to z/VM LPAR by coping the 
current IODF into new IODF and created production IODF from this new IODF. 
After this,

1) I used UPDATE option while built IOCDS and wrote in A2 profile.

2) Now, I would wanted to switch this new IODF dynamically using this IOCDS 
option but didnot allowed me saying

Error
Action for A2.ZEC12 failed. The IOCDS token does not match the HSA token.

3) Then I realized, I should use option 6 to activate or verify configuration 
but in the option 6 , which one we should be using it not sure.

Can anyone help me  to activate this new changes.

 Not too weird.  In one case of which I know, a whale with an onerous

 more favorable charter.  Of course the acquiring company got the 
 rights to the whale's trademarks and used them.  By arrangement, the 
 officers of the vanishing company became officers of the merged 
 company.  Etc.  And the general public hardly knew.

Of changes made to VSE to be more Z/os compat. We have converted a few from VSE

Hi August,
I migrated several VSE shops to MVS in the recent years (last one only a few 
weeks ago). The main work was on Assembler programs and teaching the stuff on 
the new environment (JCL, ISPF, CLIST, REXX differences etc), most high level 
language programs just compiled well, and even CICS migration wasn't a big 
deal. The only thing that really was hard to see another VSE shop gone. Not 
many left here in Germany...
The manual is mainly valid, I don't see a reason to update yet, because most 
shops here didn't really use all that fancy stuff introduced the last few 
years. It's just VSE to MVS.
Btw, the original post was on IBM-MAIN, not here on IBMVM Christian

FW: z10 IPL from Utility Tape

2014-05-08 Thread August Carideo/RYE/US 
Why do you need a op system to validate the I/O ?
You should be able to see the CHPID's that are online and operating from the HMC
The CE should be able to do this from single object mode or from service mode
As mentioned if DASD looks OK, it is just a matter of accessing it
You can build a new I/O gen standalone with just enough devices to get the 
system up
This is all what if - being a lot of info was not supplied
But if you can't just change the load address and IPL from a utility tape 
sounds like it can't even find the drive
Which points to I/O config
3 dif utils can be tried ICKDSF only needs the tape drive and a console, same 
w/ DDR, or SA VM image Loader
All depends how tape was created , if tape is in doubt maybe there is a orig 
install tape floating around, 
But once again was it install from tape or CD etc. lots of unknowns here

Think the key is get a working VM system by whatever means available. From

Attach a few devices and see if they've got any data. Make a z/OS guest with

 Okay – I think first I have to figure out why the system won’t IPL from tape 
 or disk. I guess they could try IPLing from a DVD if they have this starter 
 system. I don’t know if they do or not. I’ll ask.

Download a copy of ZZSA and burn it to a CD. Have Operations IPL that CD and 
use it to explore the volumes, specifically the Resvol and IPL required 
volumes (IODF Volume etc). From there you should have an idea as to what is 
actually broken.

 I’ll pass this on to the customer

IBM SUPPORT does not help in situations where it's a configuration issue. If 
the error is the IOCDS was not updated, then they are not responsible. On the 
other hand, if the problem is hardware, then hardware support is responsible 
and if there is a software bug then software support is responsible. Everyone 
is responsible to point the figure at someone else so they don't have to deal 
with it. If you point the finger at support hard enough, they may resolve the 
issue for you.

 If you actually mean IBM PROFESSIONAL SERVICES is maintaining this system, 
 then yes, they are responsible.

 It seems strange that they have been down for 3 weeks and not screaming.

Maybe you should have them consider allowing you access to the hardware 
console (temporarily).

 The system crashed as a result of a power outage. All was well before that. 
 We had an error code of ACTZ0182. That’s all I told IBM when I made the 
 service call. What I wanted was for someone from IBM to determine if it was a 
 hardware or software bug and go from there. At this point, no one knows if 
 it’s an IOCDS problem or any other for that matter. Unfortunately I did not 
 set this machine up and know very little about it. I know the zVM and  
 Computer Associates parts obviously but with matters of the HMC, IOCDS, etc., 
 I know very little as IBM came in and set all of that up. One guy, ONE guy 
 came in and set up the HMC, DS6800, installed zVM and because the compiler 
 tapes weren’t delivered yet, another person from the same department came out 
 and installed Fortran, PASCAL, etc. Now, these are the people, or someone 
 like them that ought to be able to determine what’s going on with the system. 
 I’m 1300 miles away and can’t be away from SoCal (I work and live here after 
 all) on an open ended trip until this gets sorted out though I know this 
 would be a great learning experience if I could be there for the duration. No 
 one at the site is an IBMer – they’re all Windows or Linux people who take 
 care of things like backups and account maintenance although I can do a lot 
 of that via a link assuming the system is up. This would probably be a great 
 time to have a remote HMC! Maybe as a result of this problem, the customer 
 will buy one.

 Regarding the system being down for three weeks, there is one fall back and 
 that’s for the users to come to SoCal and use our legacy machine. At some 
 point after the z10 gets back on its feet, any updates will be sent back to 
 OKC and the z10 will be “caught up.”

There was an evaluation version of z/VM that was bootable from a DVD 
in the HMC.  I would give that a shot.

 I’ll contact the customer and see if they can find this.
 Thanks for all of the great posts!

Right. At our shop, we have a Microsoft Terminal Services Gateway server.
At home, on one of my laptops, I can connect over the Internet to this TSG 
Gateway. This then relays me to my local desktop (I know the OP doesn't have a 
local desktop, he could go to some other desktop). I am now interacting with 
that desktop, as if I were local. I bring up I.E. and connect (locally) to the 
HMC, which is on the LAN. At that point, I can IPL and do other things on the 
HMC (such as use the SYSC and SYSG z/VM consoles. Well, if we had z/VM).

Given what the OP has said, I would _not_ be surprised if the IBM people who 
installed the z did not bother to connect the HMC to the LAN. I know that _we_ 
had a big fight putting the z9BC's HMC on the LAN. I'll not say more. I'm still 
very bitter towards those ex-employees.

Agreed 
If the problem Is the I/O config
It doesn't matter what op sys will eventually run on the box
You can code up a I/O gen on notepad put it on a USB stick
Upload it from the HMC use the SA version of the gen read in the source code 
and load out the IOCDS
And do a POR 
Just to get you started, you just need a minimum number of devices

Well, hard scenario.
Actually you can IPL from DVD, (*no! it's ftp from YOUR workstation!* DVD 
stinks!), but what is the reason of starting anything from DVD, when no device 
is available? You won't fix anything. What you need as a prerequisite is at 
least simple working IOCDS.


BTW: I admit I did not follow the discussion, but it seems high unlikely to 
lost IOCDS and working z/OS image. You can screw up the z/OS, you can destroy 
your IOCDS, but you cannot destroy both in one erroneous action!

Re: 3174's and optica Prizm Ficon to escon converters

2014-02-27 Thread August Carideo/RYE/US 
I am in the process of setting up the ICC / OSC now, and I bet w/ all involved 
here you would not get it done in  half a day,
I did do it elsewhere in a matter of hours like you stated, but not here, w/o 
going into too much detail.
They threw in the 2 optica boxes to make the CPU sale
But no I did not change anything with the PRIZM set up, the OPTICA
Techs set them up preconfigured from IO gen info sent to them

We have multiple 3174's hung off the same CHPID as different CUADD's, seems we 
are not having issues with the head of string ones.
The site you know of are they using multiple ? and on what op sys ?
We have VM, VSE, and Z/os LPARS

 Please skip all the comments about still using 3174's we are well aware,
 The question is, is anyone using Optica Prizm FICON to ESCON converters that 
 have
 3174's hooked to them ?
Yes. (Not me actually).
Wild guess: did you changed anything in PRIZM setup?

Just curious: why don't you simply define one OSA chpid as OSC and
connect some PCs as consoles?
I can bet I could manage it within half day. At the price (components
used) of fraction of PRIZM.
