The last time I had a similar need I set up 2 userids.

You can do that with older releases of z/VM, too. What's new in z/VM 5.3 is support of emulators that have negotiated SSL/TLS (according to a draft TN3270E RFC). Previous releases required an emulator that first created an SSL connection, then flowed TN3270E over it (non-standard). IBM PCOMM and BlueZone are examples of emulators that can handle either case.

Re: CPFMTXA: Automation of?
I wouldn't think that you would not have to CPFMTXA every volume. Only
the CPOWNED volumes need to be CMFMTXA'd.
Anyway, here is an EXEC that I used to initialize a large batch of
DASD when we installed out FLEX-ES system. I'm sure it could be
modified to fit your needs.

2107 mystery
We have run into another one of those z/OS is right and VM is weird mysteries. Hopefully, someone else can shed some light on it. We have a DS8100 (2107) that we have been using for the past few months for VM based stuff (SFS servers, Linux server, etc) with no problem. I've been using CP FLASHCOPY on it with no problems as well. We just tried to move some z/OS volumes over to it from an old 2105-F20 (Shark). The volumes moved fine. However, when our z/OS guy tried to run z/OS ConcurrentCopy against some of the datasets, he got errors that the box does not support that function. Obviously, it does since we have been doing Flash on VM all along. Now, the z/OS guys are suggesting that I gen the 2107 volumes as unsupported in VM to fix the problem. I'm not sure what they mean by that, but I don't like the sound of it. Anyone seen this problem or have any insight into it? Martha

Strictly speaking, that's true. Just a plain old ICKDSF INIT is enough. 25+ years ago, however, I learned that MVS looks at a volume such as that, however, and says Wow! The Format ? DSCB that controls space allocation for MVS does not say that space is used on this volume, therefore it's all available.

Re: CPFMTXA: Automation of?
A while back I had to reformat just cylinder 0 of a whole slew of VM volumes that had been originally formatted by a z/OS utility. I used the following short EXEC plus an input file: /* */ 'PIPE CMS ERASE FMT-CYL0 CPFMTXA A | HOLE' /* 6400 ICK33001I VM6400 CYLINDER ZERO NOT IN CP FORMAT */ 'PIPE', ' Q-ALLOC NOT-CP A', '| SPECS W1 1 W3 NW', '| STEM DASD.' DO i=1 TO dasd.0 parse var dasd.i raddr volid . CALL fmt_cyl_0 raddr volid END EXIT CALL fmt_cyl_0 674d VM674d CALL fmt_cyl_0 662b VM322b /* - */ fmt_cyl_0: PROCEDURE arg raddr volid . 'PIPE CP DEFINE MDISK' raddr '0 END' volid '| HOLE' say 'CPFMTXA' raddr volid 'FORMAT' MAKEBUF push 'END' push 'YES' 'PIPE (ENDCHAR ?)', 'CMS CPFMTXA' raddr volid '0.1', '| FMT-CYL0 CPFMTXA A' DROPBUF 'PIPE CP DET' raddr '| HOLE' RETURN The input file contained the ICK33001I message lines extracted from the output of another EXEC which used CPFMTXA to query the allocation map of all the volumes. There's a sample in a comment line in the above EXEC. There are also some sample calls to the subroutine that does the work. The output is captured in a file for later review. To format other than just cylinder 0 you'd need to adjust the CPFMTXA cal l in the subroutine. Consult the CPFMTXA utility in the CP Commands and Utilities manual for the parameter details.

Re: 2107 mystery
I have not had to work with this type of stuff for some time, but I do think you can turn on/off the concurrent copy function. At one time it was also something that you had to order with the DASD box. Also, I don't think flashcopy needs concurrent copy to do its thing. The z/Os people may have to turn on concurrent copy.

zVM 5.3 and SSL
Greetings folks, I am reading on the zVM homepage about the enahanced security and SSL for ftp and telnet, etc. I am not sure whether the SSL Server is part of zVM or is it thru a LInux Server that needs to be installed. And if thru a Linux server, does it have to be ordered separately or downloaded somewhere. Thanks in anticipation.

zVM and Linux
Thank you Alan for your prompt answer. Richard _ http://newlivehotmail.com
Re: zVM 5.3 and SSL
I'm confused. If SSL is provided thru Linux, how does that work with TN3270E? Maybe it's just been a long on-call week (already), but am struggling to connect the dots (or in this case, the 3270 sessions). How can we come in to Linux via TN3270?Or, is the IP stack on VM doing the communication to the Linux guest and the 3270 session is unaware of it...

Re: CPFMTXA: Automation of?
The VTOC that is written by CPFMTXA or ICKDSF CPVOL will stop MVS or VSE from writing anything on the volume with normal commands. The VTOC has a free space record that shows no free space on the volume. MVS can not allocate any new data sets on the volume. The VTOC has no DSN records. So MVS cannot find anything to delete. Utilities that don't go through normal i/o (FDR, DITTO, ICKDSF, ...) will be able to use the volume.
