Re: HCPCLS174E Paging I/O error; IPL failed - on second level z/VM
Thanks for the hints.. but i am pretty sure all page packs where formatted, and that there was / is no overlap at no time. Anyway, i re-formatted and gave 1g of storage to the 2nd level vm, no problems so far.

In this case the PAGE space -- but CP also needs all the cylinders allocated to SPOL, DRCT, WARM, CKPT, and if used, DUMP to be formatted with CPFMTXA (ICKDSF under the covers) before use. You can format the PAGE cylinders without loss any time that system is down. The easiest solution is to carefully document where your second level page cylinders are, bring down your second level system, link to or attach those disks from MAINT on first level, and completely format those cylinders. We suffered a crash after converting to VM/XA every Monday morning at about 08:45, with a similar message. The system was IPLed and came up and stayed up until the next IPL. We checked power supplies, system load, and all sorts of things at that timeframe. It took a few Monday morning crashes to discover that I had formatted one few DASD slots than CP was told to use for paging on one DASD. I don't remember why it only failed only on Monday mornings (after regular Sunday evening IPLs, and with a big Monday morning logon surge) while we could IPL after the crash, experience a big logon surge and but still stayed up. It could also be that some other OS is writing on the PAGE cylinders. Even if you format the second level system's page cylinders (described above) -- be sure that they were not corrupted by another system. Check that only CP on your second level system has write-access to its page cylinders. Look in the second level directory (using DIRMAP or DISKMAP or whatever ESM product you use to map disks) for any MDISKs that overlap that area -- including full-pack disks. Then look in the first level directory (again, using DISKMAP or DIRMAP or whatever ESM product you use to map disks) for anything allocated on the second level system's page cylinders. If you find unintended write access, correct it before it happens again. Then check to see if those DASD are mounted on another, external system. Once a long, long time ago when I worked for Kraft Foods we found CHEESE in CP's general purpose registers when processing an ABEND dump . Well, actually it was EBCDIC for CHEESE, which was a word in a report that had been written to a temporary dataset on an MVS system where the Operator had mounted one of VM's paging DASD as public. VM paged out to that volume, the MVS system wrote its application report on the VM page cylinders, VM paged in and promptly crashed with CHEESE in its registers. No CE's were required to fix the problem; just getting the volume varied offline on MVS, and running CPFMT (before CPFMTXA, and someone else's job) on the volume to write a dummy VTOC thereon to make it look full to other systems. :-) Let us know what was wrong so we all learn.

Re: PAV and VSE guest
Dave, I would concentrate on MDC iso. PAV for VSE-fullpacks. When we started using MDC for VSE-dasd, we saw a real boost in throughput even though our real dasd already had quite a large cache. Once MDC has been activated, you can use a monitor (or QMDC EXEC, written by K. Buelens, should be on the VM-download pages) to get an idea of the MDC hit-ratio per minidisk. Keep MDC on for fullpacks with good hit-ratios, and turn it off for the really bad ones. You could even re-arrange your VSE-files onto mostly-read fullpacks vs. mostly write minidisks. We use about 800MB for MDC (no xSTORE). Using more storage didn't really help. A good example for MDC success is the fullpack where DOSRES and SYSWK1 reside: it has an average MDC Hit ratio of 96%. Some of our database(IDMS) fullpacks get 90% as well... Just give it a try.

Re: PAV and VSE guest
OK, I am going to recap here what I am hearing, so that anyone can point out any flaws. 1) VSE is going to queue the I/O, therefore simply changing everything from full packs to minidisks and adding PAV is not going to get me anything. 2) A way to trick VSE into not queuing the I/O would be to take my full pack, and instead of making it a single minidisk, make it (say) three minidisks. This would have the effect of causing VSE to not queue I/Os among those three packs, and allow VM to do its PAV magic. The problem I see with this is that with our predominently sequential processing, VSE is still probably going to queue on each of the three minidisks on the physical volume serially, most likely with the end effect of not buying me anything. 3) The most promising performance increase, especially for a sequential read such as ours, would be to convert the full packs to minidisks and use spare memory (which we do have) to run a decently large (800MB-1GB?) cache against the minidisks. This should, however, be measured and reality checked by measuring read/write ratios and checking cache hits by device, which would lead to turning the cache off for volumes that are not getting any benefit. 4) PAV and MD cache don't play nice together, therefore since MD cache may benefit me and PAV likely will not, I should forget PAV for now, although in the future with system updates it may be something to revisit. Thank you for your time so far Eric, Catherine, Kris, Rob, Bill, and Dietltiens.

Re: Building NonRACF CP Module
A long time ago (1992) I had an EXEC I wrote that that after running setup it looked for a cntrl file setup for RACF. Racf was installed as a LOCAL MOD back then. 'State HCPVM CNTRLIBM * ' If it was there then RACF was on the system if not then RACF was not on the system (in the nucleus). there was an option to remove or add RACF to the system so that the CP Nucleus could be generated with RACF or not. (technically RACF was always on the system) the remove or add was a long list of renaming CNTRL, AUX, TXT, and LCL files. When the CP nucleus was generated it either found RACF or not. ADP at this time had over 50+ VM systems running with all kinds of work loads so some had RACF some did not. And this was the easiest way to to do it. Should still work today.

EXECTRAC not inherited
I have some execs that call a vendor module that, in turn, invokes other execs as user exits. If I set EXECTRAC ON my initial execs are correctly traced. But the other execs invoked out of the vendor module are not. I'm not sure how this later invocation works but I'm guessing that the module has to setup some sort of environment specification before starting the user exits, and that that environment does not inherit my setting of EXECTRAC. Is there anyway I can make it do so? Or, failing that, is there any easy change I can request the vendor to make inherit this setting? Or would it a major job for them? Ian ...

Re: spoolchn/perfkit
I 2nd what Rich says regarding VMUTIL. I've always called it VMSCHED, but it's the same thing as far as I know. I think that some really early code came out with a VMSCHED id running WAKEUP. WAKEUP is a wonderful and versatile piece of code. I really didn't even know that PerfKit had that capability so it may be just as good, but you'd have to show me and I'm not even from Missouri. I have code in the exec that runs with WAKEUP in VMSCHED that when I want to make a change to the schedule file in VMSCHED, I just grab the current one, make the change and SF it back to VMSCHED. It is enabled to respond to RDR interrupts. When it sees a VMSCHED TIMES file in it's RDR from an authorized user it reads it in after saving the old TIMES file and takes off with the change. I've also used RTM since about 1979 or 1980 and it is(was-sob :'( ) wonderful, but I never really depended on it for scheduling other than closing it's files at the end of a shift.

Re: Moving on
The answer is yes, my socks are always red, even when wearing a tuxedo to my firm's annual black tie dinner for all the attorneys. My wonderful wife has long since given up on trying to change me. (Do you have any idea how hard it is to find dress red socks?)

Re: network response time issues
I have piece of code that I got from someone from CA that is very useful iff you are running VMBACKUP. It uses one of the files that is a product of a VMBACKUP run to search thru it's catalog of backed up files on all disks it backs up to find rogue code. Talk to CA (or me offline).

If you can do that, the module name is irrelevant. If you know or suspect that there is a rogue module on some other disk in the search order, you can try releasing the disks one by one until the client becomes operational. Another approach would be to use pipelines to search for matching files.

TCPIP.MODULE? It means the client servers are accessing an old version of the client disk (TCPIP 592) OR they've copied a module (any module) off of an old 592 onto their A-disk.
