Yes, that will work as long as you have authorized the OSA port on the 
switch for VLANs 1, 545, 645, and 745.  In this case, do NOT change the 
guest IP configuration.  The guests will remain VLAN-unaware.

If you share the OSA with other LPARs or VSWITCHes, they must also be 
VLAN-aware and you must specify NOGVRP on the DEFINE VSWITCH.

With the following definition,
  CP DEFINE VSWITCH VSW1 RDEV 500 600 VLAN 1  
  CP SET VSWITCH VSW1 GRANT userid1 VLAN 545

only one VSWITCH definition would be required for multiple VLANS?
  CP DEFINE VSWITCH VSW1 RDEV 500 600 VLAN 1  
  CP SET VSWITCH VSW1 GRANT userid1 VLAN 545
  CP SET VSWITCH VSW1 GRANT userid2 VLAN 645

SERVICE install problem

2007-04-17 Thread Jon Brock
I have a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem regarding trying to use the automated 
SERVICE EXEC.  I have a PTF I tried to put on using SERVICE, but the process 
failed since I do not have a prerequisite on.  I have downloaded the prereq, 
but I can't put it on because SERVICE wants me to do a restart on the first 
PTF, but I can't restart the first PTF because the prereq is not on, but I 
can't put the prereq on because I need restart the first PTF, but I can't . . . 

Is there a way to terminate the first PTF apply process, or will I need to 
figure out how to manually apply the prereq PTF?


Thanks,
Jon

Small remote dasd

2007-04-17 Thread Tom Duerbusch
We have an IBM DS6800 and have looked into what it would take to mirror the 
dasd, offsite somewhere.  Not only does license fees come into play for the 
DS6800, but communications, a remote box and site requirements.

But, when it really comes down to it, in about a year, I only need to mirror 
the DB2 log as in dual logging to two different disk packs.  It started me to 
think about options.

What if we had one, remotely supported disk drive on our system?
What if one of our 3390-3 packs, and only one, could be mirrored to some remote 
system?

Obviously, large shops may just mirror the entire DS6800.  But in the smaller 
shops, perhaps there is a black box thingie out there, or perhaps a service 
bureau that has a solution that may be workable.  

Right now, this is DB2/VSE.  The log files are on VSAM.  Not interested in 
doing log archives every hour and sending the tape, over an IP connection.  

In the virtual tape world, there are many options.  I don't know of any options 
in the VSE dasd world.

Being able to use a NAS device as CKD disk, would really be great.  I've done 
that with a P/390 to expand the emulated disk available.  But the z/890 doesn't 
support emulated disk, and besides, emulated disk sure had its performance 
issues.

Anyway, it can't hurt to ask...

Well, there are devices on the market, such as BusTech and FlexCUB, that
would allow you to use Open System DASD as ECKD DASD. You could then
possibly do a remote mirror on that. No, I don't know how.

Re: alternate SMTP server

  'COPY TCPPR11 DATA F TCPIP DATA A (OLDD REPLACE'  
if U = 'SMTPTR11' then

Subject: alternate SMTP server

Hi,
I set up an alternate TCPIP stack - the TCPIP user has a CPUID that has a
different name in the SYSTEM NETID.

That TCPIP starts a different SMTP server, also on that 'other system'
(CPUID). [Note: not to be confused with OtherSystem (tm?) ]

My own userid is running with that CPUID, and identifies itself using that
system name from the NETID. My user correctly uses the alternate stack, but
when I send a note with SENDFILE ( NOTE SMTP it goes to the SMTP user, and
*not* to my alternate server.

Is there something to set to tell it who the correct server is? I am getting
tired of 'CP TRAN SMTP R ...'.
