Hey, Alan, you don't happen to have a fictitious Nova Scotian long- lost shed-dwelling kitty-fancying brother named Bubbles (surname unknown) who steals grocery carts, fixes them up, and sells them back, do you? I was just wondering, since I'm watching _Trailer Park Boys_ Season 4, and I was struck by the uncanny similarities between the Bubbles- Conky relationship and the Alan-Chuckie relationship. Adam P.S. And if you don't know _Trailer Park Boys_ (which is probably like 99% of you) it's a Canadian sitcom about a bunch of dope-growing losers^W^W^Wagricultural entrepreneurs living in Sunnyvale Trailer Park somewhere near Halifax. Netflix will happily send you at least the first four seasons.

Meet up a share?
I'll be at share Sunday - Thursday; if anyone wants to meet up for a few beers (or root beers, as your preference dictates!) I think I owe several people here a few. :) Drop me an e-mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or drop me a cell phone call - 512-630-5759. I would enjoy getting to put faces to you folks! -Paul

I don't have a microphone. Will the replay also require the Centra tool? I gather it wants to install something on my PC, and that it will not work on my Mac. Why? I'm not convinced this is worth all the trouble to install a piece of software. Let me know what kind of turnout you get. I think you are setting the bar too high.

It ain't gonna work. The message is probably because you don't have EQUALCOSTMULTIPATH in the AssortedParms, and the first GATEWAY entry was replaced by the second one, excluding ETH_VM431. You MUST put the Guest LAN and the LCS device in separate networks. Also, remove the "PORTNAME" specification for the QDIO device.

Re: Guest in 31 or 64 bit?
If you have TRACK installed, that'll answer the question on an ad-hoc basis without any further programming effort on your part. Otherwise, if it were me and I were looking for a reliable, "programmable" interface I reckon I'd be starting to think about writing an extension to QUERY ...
Re: Guest in 31 or 64 bit?
Lee Stewart wrote: Is there a way to tell from a CP command if a guest is running in 31 bit or 64 bit mode? Thanks Lee Not directly, but you could issue the DISPLAY PSW command on behalf of the target user (using the FOR command in z/VM 5.3, or via SCIF for earlier releases) and interpret the result, which will be like one of the following: Guest in 31-bit mode: for operator cmd d p OPERATOR : PSW = 030E 8105B570 OPERATOR : HCPFOR069I Command Complete. CP return code = . Guest in 64-bit mode, PSWTRANS OFF: for raylx2 cmd d p RAYLX2 : HCPCDP6150E The option PSW has been specified but is not valid in z/Architecture mode. To enable the use of this option issue the appropriate SET PSWTRANS command or use the PSWG option. RAYLX2 : HCPFOR069I Command Complete. CP return code = 6150. Guest in 64-bit mode, PSWTRANS ALL|DISPLAY|STORE: for raylx2 cmd d p RAYLX2 : PSW = NON TRANSLATABLE PSWG = 07060001 8000 00107E2E RAYLX2 : HCPFOR069I Command Complete. CP return code = . And yes, it would be very easy (code-wise) to provide a QUERY command option to give this information, or you might try the following piece of REXX from a suitably-privileged userid (this, of course, is subject to VMDMMODE remaining at the same offset in the VMDBK - which it has for at least the last four releases): --- /* QMODE: determine whether a guest is in 64-bit mode */ Parse UPPER Arg uid If (uid='*') Then uid = userid() Numeric Digits 20 'PIPE CP LOCATE' uid '| spec w3 1 | var vmdbk' If (rc<>0) Then Do Say 'Error' rc 'from "CP LOCATE' uid'"' Exit rc End vmdmmode = d2x(x2d(vmdbk)+x2d(4c4)) 'PIPE CP DISPLAY HS' || vmdmmode || '.1 | spec w2 1 | var mode' If (rc<>0) Then Do Say 'Error' rc 'from "CP DISPLAY HS' || vmdmmode || '.1"' Exit rc End If bitand(x2c(mode),'40'x)='40'x Then Say uid 'is in 64-bit mode' Else Say uid 'is not in 64-bit mode' --- Or one could write a CP QUERY command extension - isn't that possible? I'll take a look and maybe post something later. Ray
Re: QUERY Guest CPUs
Actually, I believe it would be: CP FOR xxx CMD QUERY VIRT CPUS The FOR command in z/VM 5.3 is a nice addition to managing guests! Jim V On 8/10/07, Huegel, Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > If you are z/VM 5.3 you can use FOR CP QUERY VIRT CPUS >
