AW: IBM support
Scott R Wandschneider asked Along the same line of questioning, does anybody know if VM/ESA 2.3 (I know it is unsupported) will run under z/VM 5.2 or 5.3 on 2066? Yes, but you need a patch for the z Series machine. We got one from the VSE Lab Boeblingen, Germany. Until two weeks ago we ran z/VM 5.2 and VSE/ESA 2.3.2 on a 2094.

Re: how to wait for dfsmsrm command
Steve--Sorry, the name emsg is misleading. This is an exec that I inherited and modified to change from SPTAPE to SPXTAPE as well as handling DFSMSRM calls, stacking daily NSS/DCS dumps on tape, and other things. EMSG is just the name of a procedure that sends messages to SYSOP and does a TELL of the same msg to the cons. Here's the procedure: /* EMSG: Display messages on virtual console operator's console*/ emsg: procedure expose op disc sigl; parse arg msg say 'line' sigl'' msg if (disc) then 'CP MSG' op ' NSS BACKUP:' msg return Jim Gentry, Stephen wrote: Jim, could you explain the call emsg. I know what you're trying to = accomplish with it. I don't have an EXEC or anything executable called = EMSG. I do have a help file for it but it doesn't work with the normal = HELP command. I also have EMSG set on.

CUIR, EDEVs, and SLES 9
Hi Listers, I cross-posted this on the LINUX-390 Listserv as well. We had an issue when microcode was upgraded on all our DS8000s . According to the CE, about 5 hours after the microcode was installed, the two PCHIDs connected to our SCSI DS8000 started posting error messages every 6 seconds. I logged on to one of our test systems and cd'ed to the directory mounted on the scsi disk. When I issued the ls command, my linux went to sleep and never came back. Our fcp is defined using EDEVs...so using MAINT, I then issued the Q EDEV command and it just locked up MAINT. The following messages appeared on OPERATOR (every minute): HCPMHT2150I DASD 0E01 and interrupt is pending HCPMHT6304I IRB= (all zeroes) HCPMHT6305I Userid=LNXCUPT We eventually forced the linux guest down and shutdown z/VM and then toggled the PCHID off/on which cleared up the error. I was able to IPL both z/VM and the linux guest and had no problems getting to the data. Our CE wonders if it was CUIR ... the documentation states it supports z/VM. I opened an issue with IBM to confirm z/VM supports CUIR on SCSI and I've pasted their response below: We do not support CUIR on SCSI. CUIR only affects CKD volumes. The HW will not give us any quiesce/resume requests for SCSI volumes regardless of whether we have a single or multiple path(s) to the LUN. Even without CUIR surely EDEVs should handle failures. Responses on the LINUX-390 indicated native SCSI handles path failures just fine. Has anyone experienced an outage to their data on SCSI when defined on EDEVs due to path failures? Thanks in advance for any advice. susan
RSCS LPR won't autostart
I have 2 different RSCS links defined to the same physical LPR (HP 8150). One link is for landscape, one is for portrait (see definitions below). W hen I send a printout to the portrait queue, the link autostarts fine and the document is printed successfully. When I send the same printout to the landscape queue, I get DMTAXM101I File 7431 (7431) enqueued on link ROC815WL and the link never starts. I can stop/restart the link and the document will then print. I have other LPR's defined exactly the same way and they all autostart correctly on both landscape and portrait queues. The links are defined as follows: LINKDEF ROC815W TYPE LPR MANUAL FORM *AST LINKDEF ROC815WL TYPE LPR MANUAL FORM *AST ... PARM ROC815W EXIT=LPRXPSE ITO=0 SEC=NO # HOST=149.24.51.28 #/* HP 8150 Devl WW * / PRINTER=raw # USER=YES # /* allow overrides * / EPARM='FORM=POCP1109' /* Portrait 60 lpp */ PARM ROC815WL EXIT=LPRXPSE ITO=0 SEC=NO # HOST=149.24.51.28 #/* HP 8150 Devl WW * / PRINTER=raw # USER=YES # /* allow overrides * / EPARM='FORM=LACP1012' /* landscape */ Any thoughts on what might be causing this?

Re: List of Commands by Privilege Classes
Here is a good guide line Table 2. Privilege Classes Class User and Function A System Operator: The class A user controls the z/VM system. The system operator is responsible for the availability of the z/VM system and its resources. In addition, the system operator controls system accounting, broadcast messages, virtual machine performance options, and other options that affect the overall performance of z/VM. Note: The class A user who is automatically logged on during CP initialization is designated as the primary system operator. B System Resource Operator: The class B user controls all the real resources of the z/VM system, except those controlled by the system operator and the spooling operator. C System Programmer: The class C user updates or changes system-wide parameters of the z/VM system. D Spooling Operator: The class D user controls spool files and the systems real reader, printer, and punch equipment allocated to spooling use. E System Analyst: The class E user examines and saves system operation data in specified z/VM storage areas. F Service Representative: The class F user obtains, and examines in detail, data about input and output devices connected to the z/VM system. This privilege class is reserved for IBM use only. G General User: The class G user controls functions associated with a particular virtual machine. H Reserved for IBM use. I - Z 1 - 6 Classes I through Z are reserved for redefinition through user class restructure (UCR) by each installation for its own use.
