SORTWK allocations for DFSORT vs Syncsort
Greetings , I recently noticed the way syncsort handles dynamic allocation for SORTWK datasets and they appear to be avoiding B37 abends better than DFSORT and I am assuming thats because syncsort allocates SORTWK datasets on "as needed" basis where as DFSORT tries to allocate all of them ahead according to the value specified in DYNALOC ICEOPTS .

Greetings , We were supposed to remove a few inactive MCS definitions from our sysplex . The LPAR where it originally had its definition is IPL'ed after removing the entries from CONSOLxx . But forgot to run IEARELCN to remove it from the plex . Now when i do a display D C,N on all LPARS, it still shows the same console device in the output where CNZ4100I msg has DEFINED and MATCHED entries displayed as *NONE . I would like to get rid of this definition from other systems in the plex . Here is what i intend to do a) Run a IEARELCN against the console name which has already been removed from the original system that is IPL'ed I understand that a sysplex wide IPL is needed to remove the console definition in shared mode unless IEARELCN is used My question is : Can i run IEARELCN on any of the LPARS in the same sysplex in this situation to get rid of the orphaned entry so that it gets unpinned ?

When IOCP generates an LPAR IOCDS, the number of subchannels it generates for the group of I/O devices associated with a logical control unit depends on the number of logical control units generated for the group of I/O devices. The total number of subchannels it generates for the group of I/O devices is the number of I/O devices in the group multiplied by the number of logical control units generated for that group. The device may be a physically identifiable unit, or it may be housed internal to a control unit. In all cases a device, from the point of view of the channel subsystem, is an entity that is uniquely associated with one subchannel and that responds to selection by the channel subsystem by using the communication protocols defined for the type of channel path by which it is accessible.Then, the subchannel number is another way for addressing an I/O device. It is a value that is assigned to the subchannel (UCW) representing the device at POR time. It indicates the relative position of the UCW in the UCW table. The subchannel number was designed to speed up the search of a UCW during SSCH processing.

Re: Prefix save area - confused
In MVS/XA , with prefixing, the processors did not use absolute locations 0-4095. Rather, each processor had its own separate PSA and its own prefix register. When a processor is brought on line, the real starting address of its PSA is stored in its prefix register. Whenever the processor uses an address between 0 and 4095, the hardware adds the the contents of the prefix register to the address and uses the result. With prefixing, the address that normally would be the absolute address of the information in the first page of storage becomes an offset from the start of the real PSA. Because each processor's prefix register contains a different address, each processor can address locations 0 to 4095 and reference its own data. In Z/architecture , it used to fix the first 2 pages unlike MVS/XA and the concept did not change AFAIK ...

Re: Logger Space
Mark , Since you are looking at deleting orphaned logstream datasets , neither TSO delete or deleting the logstream is going to work Ane excerpt from MVS setting up a sysplex - Finding and deleting orphaned log data sets says , The orphaned data sets should be deleted using the IDCAMS delete command. Note that when you delete a log stream by deleting it from the LOGR policy, system logger deletes all the log data sets associated with the log stream that have entries in the logger directory. If a data set was orphaned or simply matches the log stream naming convention but is not in the logger directory, then system logger will NOT attempt to delete the data set when the log stream is deleted. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

Re: U4093 abend after IPL
Hello Mark , That's exactly what's happening in my system . I checked the logs for several IPL's in the past and it looks like GPMSERVE is always started in that 2 second window (even my system shows a delay of 2 seconds between EZAIN11I and EZD1176I) . After EZD1176I , GPMSERVE starts w/o any issues .

Re: U4093 abend after IPL
Hello Mark , Thanks for the response ! Sorry , i was wrong . OMVS was fully functional , but EZD1176I message hadn't come out while GPMSERVE was abending. EZD1176I TCPIP HAS SUCCESSFULLY JOINED THE TCP/IP SYSPLEX GROUP EZBTCPCS Everytime ,after this message comes out , GPMSERVE seems to be starting without any issues . Unfortunately i dont have any dumps to look at the moment .We have an IPL this weekend , and i will look at the LE dumps when this reoccur . As you suggested , starting GPMSERVE later in the IPL is the best solution being an unsupported release . Would you think the issue is because of GPMSERVE trying to start before EZD1176I comes out ?

MAXSPACE and central storage
Greetings , We have a requirement in our shop to change the MAXSPACE value from 2000M to 8000M . IBM says there should be a 1:3 ratio between maxspace and auxiliary storage . that means , my total auxiliary storage needs to be increased by 3 times which is 24000 M (to satisfy 1:3 ratio) . I did that as well . Now my concern is that my Central storage is 5690 M and will it create any problem once i set the maxspace to 8000 M .I couldn't find any documentation which says central storage should be increased . I'm trying to understand how DUMPSRV address space works when it is allowed to capture a dump of 8000M in size considering my central and local page dataset sizes given above . we are on z/os 1.11 and thus AUXMGMT is set as ON by default . Please share your thoughts on this . Thanks in Advance , Bob -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
