Re: Renaming spool and page
From: Little, Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, February 12, 2007 5:16 pm We're working on disaster recovery here...and just about created one. Created a recovery of our primary z/VM lpar and IPLed it in another, but with a potentially grand mistake. The production spool and page volumes are at a lower address than the DR spool and page volumes. And it did IPL with those. Q ALLOC SPOOL and PAGE proved that. By some chance it didn't crash production. So now we IPL second level before we IPL in an LPAR. After IPLing I tried changing the volume names of spool and page and reflecting that in SYSTEM CONFIG, but it results in an unbootable system. What else do I need to do? I'm not sure what is going on with that, but OFFLINE_AT_IPL your second level's system packs in your first levels SYSTEM CONFIG, and OFFLINE_AT_IPL your first level's system packs in your second level's SYSTEM CONFIG.
Re: EREP Problem
It all came to light on an IPL. To begin there were no messages on the hardware console and when we started to IPL we got an error on a CHPID that belonged to our disk array, it also showed up on the HMC when displaying the CHPID's. it is now between two vendors that both say it doesn't belong to them. I will let them fight it out tomorrow. When you do, assuming your VSE systems are VM guests, I'd run EREP on VM. It's the closest layer to the hardware.
Re: zSeries Linux - How Many Users?
I have run into a lot of folks, but we bought the first zSeries machine that I know configured to run only z/VM and Linux. May have something to do with longevity... :) I'd recommend that you look twice at loading things like print servers and etc. on a zSeries unless you are basically swimming in free MIPS. A lot of Linux stuff is written with very little, if any, consideration for efficiency. Take Tivoli Storage Manager for instance... it can easily bring a z800 IFL to it's knees in seconds, and even with a dedicated channel (configured as Fibre Channel Protocol of course) it can not seem to drive a 1120 tape anywhere near normal speed. Most of that is because it swamps the CPU with database updates. (*sigh*) There *are* some things that Intel / AMD processors can do better - for example, I suggest you talk to RSA (Rochester Software Associates) about printing. We have managed to come up with a total replacement for InfoPrint that works from zLinux, i5OS, and Winders without much trouble, and hosting the print server on an Intel Blade means we have lots of speed and redundancy. On the other hand, there is not doubt at all that a well designed *efficient* application under zLinux can and does directly complete with just about any other platform in the world, including z/OS. Admittedly, we write most of appliations in HLASM under zLinux, so we are less likely to include cruft in a program, but we still make intensive use of the stdlib and all sorts of C calls where appropriate. For example, we use the stdlib for I/O. We did layer a homebuilt ISAM/VSAM like filesystem over that, but that was driven by (1) No VSAM under zLinux and (2) even DB/2 is slower than what we wanted. We looked at using some of the COBOL compilers, which were *great*, but we did not like paying a per user cost. On the other hand, tasks that are pretty efficient CPU wise and hogs I/O wise run fantastic on the zSeries machine - stuff like basic print management (no overlays, no data merges, that kind of stuff), web servering, FTP servers, just about any kind of network server including NFS, user interactive tasks, etc. It's a slightly different world, and you can take advantage of 'Open Systems' in ways that are both innovative and sometimes amazing. -Paul ---BeginMessage--- Does anyone happen to know a ballpark figure of how many companies are using zSeries Linux?? My reason for asking is I am working on trying to convince the management here that we could save tons of money by consolidating a lot of the easier workloads (ie- print servers) to zSeries Linux. One of the things I get back is no one is doing it, although I have to think there is a lot of it being used, especially with todays economy as it is. I think IBM has not done a very good job of promoting zSeries Linux, although from a marketing standpoint they undoubtedly make more money with a room full of p-boxes than one or two z-boxes running the same workload.

Re: zSeries Linux - How Many Users?
Interesting... That hasn't been my experience at all. I recently migrated from ADSM/VM to TSM on zLinux and didn't see a significant difference in MIPs consumption. It also seems to be related to the number (and complexity) of the clients. There is a floor value of resource consumption with TSM that's unavoidable; the resource consumption increases sharply as you get more complex devices or start ramping up the number and complexity of clients. The difference between the straight backup/archive clients and the application-specific ones also plays a big role (the Exchange and Notes clients are particularly piggy both on the server and the client side; in all fairness, they have to do a lot more than the B/A client). The CMS version scaled much more linearly; there was an increase as things ramped up, but it was much slower, and the difference between the B/A and app clients was much smaller. Supporting a 12,000 client install on the VM version was doable. No chance with the Linux version. In the two sites we deal with who use TSM on Linux, it runs on average about 250% of the resource consumption of a comparable size Bacula installation, and cost them about 300% more than the support for Bacula (if we include the requirement for new tape libraries, etc, the cost is even higher). I'm not sure why those two sites do it... If I ever get enough time to finish the CMS Bacula client... *sigh*. Someday. -- db
Fw: NSS missing
Good Morning All A VM newbie here and I've done something that I don't know how to fix.

The first time I IPL'd the 5.2 test system, I chose to do a 'clean noautolog'.The system IPL's, but I have no Named Saved Segments. We thought these NSS's were on the spool volume, so we restored the devl spool volume over to the test and re'ipld. We have the same problem. When we try to logon to 'maint', it is missing the cmspipes and cmsvmlib. Is there a way I can rebuild all the NSS without knowing what they are???

RES: NSS missing
Mary, CLEAN means clean, it deletes all files from spool and other special files as NSS and other. You should use CLEAR, that only deletes spool files but Keep intact NSS files. For a rapid recovery, since you copy Devl disks, you can use SPXTAPE and backup only NSS segments from DEVL system and then restore it in you TEST system. It's easy and fast, than restore all DEVL system again.

Re: Fw: NSS missing
Hi Mary, NSS are special files in your spool. By doing the clean you erased them. But you can recover them from your floor system. You would use the SPXTAPE command to backup the NSS files to tape on your floor system, then attach a tape drive to your test system and restore them. My weekly NSS backup is done with: SPXTAPE DUMP 181 NSS ALL where 181 is the virtual tape address attached to my backup id. Then once the tape is attached to your test system you can attach the drive to operator and do an SPXTAPE LOAD 181 NSS ALL (change 181 as need be) And you can issue the command IPL 190 on your VM id on the test system to startup CMS without the CMS NSS being there.

Use SPXTAPE to back up the SDF data from the spool on Devl and restore it to Test. This is documented in the Automated Installation and Service manual. That should help the CMS problem.

VZM/5.2 and SSLSERV
I need to use SSL support supplied by the SSLSERV service machine. It was not installed during our ZVM install 18 months ago. I am not a Linux person either. The SSLSERV machine has minidisks at 191, 201, and 203. I've looked at the manual and I am still confused about how to go about installing the linux part of this thing. Would someone please give me some clues about which manual to start reading so I can this puppy loaded, configured, and operational?

Re: ZVM and SSLSERV Question
SSLSERV on z/VM 5.1 can provide IMPLICIT protection for FTP, but it is unpleasant and I have found ONLY one windows client that will work with it. SSLSERV can also protect HTTPS and POPS. /Thomas Kern /U.S. Department of Energy /301-903-2211 --- Alan Altmark [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tuesday, 02/13/2007 at 04:22 EST, Hughes, Jim - OIT [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does using this SSL appliance allow the ZVM FTP Client to make SSL connections?
