I'm embarking on virtualizing my Websphere MQ and Websphere Broker environments on z/vm. I was wondering if anyone has gone through this yet and any guidance would help. Richard W. Santilli IT Systems Engineer Consultant [EMAIL PROTECTED] (440)395-0698

Re: Newbie
Richard, We are looking to install zlinux on a z9. This is a new z/vm installation. You may be interested in The Virtualization Cookbooks - books written specifically for your situation. There is one for SLES 10 and one for RHEL 5, so they are mostly up to date (SLES 10 SP1, the latest Novell/SuSE release, is not addressed but is quite similar). The cookbooks are usually at the top of the page http://linuxvm.org/present/ but that Web Server seems to have misplaced its DocumentRoot at the moment - I hope that situation will be fixed soon. Also, the z/VM publication Getting Started with Linux on System z9 and zSeries may be interesting to you. It is similar but differs by assuming a directory maintenance product (DirMaint in that book) while the Virtualization Cookbooks describe manual editing of the USER DIRECT file. I see a copy on this page: http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zos/bkserv/zvmpdf/zvm53.html Mike MacIsaac [EMAIL PROTECTED] (845) 433-7061

Re: Newbie
Hello Richard, As you will find out, z/VM is the absolute best Operating System. Period. Flexible, easy to use, and the z/VM community is wonderful. z/VM has cookbooks, or redbooks that are created from actual user experiences. The only problem will be is deciding which path you want. And they all end in success. Ask your questions. Someone will get an answer to you. Good luck and welcome.

RSU 0702 and Dirmaint
I just installed RSU 0702 for z/VM 5.3. Prior to this, I had DirMaint set up and running. After the maintenance, it¹s back in testing mode for some reason. I have a CONFIG50 DATADVH file in the path that contains the setup we were running in, and it has runmode= Operational. Is DirMaint not reading the CONFIG50 file? And, if not, why? -- .~.Robert P.

RSCSAUTH
I am working with a newly installed z/VM 5.3.0 system, and I am trying to get RSCSAUTH working. It seems to work fine delivering responses to the test user when I am logged on as RSCSAUTH, but as soon as I disconnect from RSCSAUTH, I get no responses on the test user. Obviously I am doing something wrong, but I can't see what it is. Can anyone help?

Re: RSCSAUTH
Your scenario is correct. RSCS receives the request from RSCSAUTH. RSCSAUTH is not hung in a CP READ.
