Re: emaulating older CPU
A pure VM never simulates a different processor, it even never simulated older disk models (e.g. a 3390 minidisk with cylinders, but located on a 3390 mdl 3 pack was still reported as 3390 mdl 3. Operating systems that are ware of VM being on top of them may have a better chance of running under VM as opposed to native as they might avoid certain things, knowing that VM takes care of it. But, that's all. Internally IBM has some tool, derived from VM, that simulates more things. I don't know details though and it is not available outside anyway. 2008/2/15, Ken Vance [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi, This is a bit of a long shot, but is it possible for a newer z990 LPAR to emulate an older processor such as a 9672 Z67?

No. One of the primary differences between System z virtualization and other platforms is that z/VM and LPAR give the guest access to the real hardware. It is what it is, and there is no provision in the hardware to trap out if a guest issues an instruction that exists on the z990, but not on the 9672. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott

Re: How comments treated by DIRMAINT
Greetings, Hopefully you can see the attachments. I created a user, got its directory entry from DIRMAINT, saw that it was shuffled a bit, put in back in the way I wanted (see ESAMGH BEFORE) and did a DIRM REPLACE followed by DIRM GET NOLOCK. Did a RECEIVE as ESAMGH AFTER. These are the actual directory entries except for the passwords. Take a look at the bottom of the directory entry. The line LINK QALPCS 0500 0500 MW has been shuffled after the comment line * 360 - ZYZMGH (Master Catalog, Power, Hardcopy,Recorder,etc...) So what's the secret here?

Re: VM/370 Release 6 Waterloo tape (CIA MODS)
Mark, In possession of a number of old Workshop tapes, I found a TAPEMON ASSEMBLE and PROC MACRO on the 1986 Waterloo Tools tape distributed at the 1986 VM Workshop which was held at the University of Kentucky. The other files were not on the tape, and even these may not be the ones you are searching for. The PROC MACRO had no evidence of the author (if it was the CIA, perhaps that makes sense?). But it was part of the tape containing the old CPWATCH utility, something attributed as: written originally by Gary George at COMINCO Ltd, Trail, B.C., Canada. The TAPEMON ASSEMBLE showed: ---snip--- PROGRAM: TAPEMON FUNCTION: TAPEMON RUNS IN A DVM AND RECEIVES SMSG COMMANDS FROM USERS TO MOUNT TAPE VOLUMES AND MANAGE A LIBRARY.

M1086V00CIA MODS-- Our local mods that have been contributed to the Waterloo VM Library now consume more than a reel of tape. Since our local facilities tend to be of interest to a relatively small number of installations, we will merely place a notice of availability for mods that have been updated to the current level of VM/370. RELEASE6 MEMO describes our contributions and current level of VM/370. They include: 1) Batch Monitor Facility - A disconnected virtual machine that monitors and controls jobs submitted for processing on remote batch systems. Formerly M0081V00 on Release 5. 2) PROC Structure Macros and Library - The PROC system is a set of several hundred assembly language macros that perform a variety of functions, including subroutine linkage and storage allocation. Formerly M1112V00 on Release 5. 3) SEDIT - An editor that is more powerful than EDIT yet less than XEDIT. Formerly M1113V00 on Release 5. 4) TAPEMON - A disconnected service virtual machine that processes user requests for tape drives and volumes. 5) CLASSIFY - A printed output classification facility that allows users to specify protective markings to be 'rubber stamped' at the top and bottom of spool files directed to the real printer. This mod is M1085V00 on this Release 6 Library.--David Farnham, Central Intelligence Agency, ODP/SPD, Washington, D.C. 20505, (703) 351-6078, August 27, 1980. Please advise. Thanks.

Re: Installation Verification Procedures
Hi All, Many years ago there was an Installation Verification Procedure for VM. This was mostly directed toward CMS tasks. We found that this was not very useful and removed it from our product documentation. We have a list of some items that we use as an IVP when we get a new release of VM. This is not an official IBM IVP. This include things like: CP IPL (MP) - stop if you cannot do this :-) CMS IPL (190 and Segment) - needed to do many other things. 190 is needed if the segment fails GCS IPL - needed for RSCS and other applications RSCS Initializes - needed for sending/receiving files PVM Initializes - remote system access SFS Initializes - file storage TCP/IP Initializes Able to logon to the system via telnet - remote system access Able to FTP to and from VM - needed for sending/receiving files NETSTAT command functions - needed for our environment Run test workloads to reach 50-70% CPU load for 4 hours. - load that is reasonable for us to ensure some stability. The test workloads vary. Linux and z/OS each IPL second level. - needed for our environment Workloads must run on both of these guest operating systems. These are some of the things that we do to initially verify the installed VM. If all of these work, then we have a good chance that we can continue to use the new release. The items that are important to you might vary from this list. I hope this list might act as one example.

Urgent Help Requested...Sorry for this post.
Hello folks; Sorry to post this message like this but it is urgent. Yesterday at 1500 the management who I work for laid me off, eliminated my position whatever it is Im now out of a job. They said that there wasnt anything left to do on the mainframe being its life will end in 6/30/2008. Some severance pay but not that much. Would have been nice if they would have told me this and given me until June to look around for a new position being how tight things are now on the mainframe side. The mainframe is being elimated on June 30, 2008 and I was the last systems programmer in the house. They also let one other person go, he was a mainframe scheduler. I have some Novell/Console 1/Imanager experience and can find my way around Linux but not an expert. Running z/OS 1.4 CICS TS 2.3 Installed and ran z/VM 4.4. Looking for work in the New York/New Jersey Metro area anyone know of anything out there or a real good head hunter. If so please let me know off line. Saw Dice posting, 15 postings for 3 or so jobs. Again sorry about this post but I need help. Thanks - Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo! Search.

Re: Any Rumors?
Hello! Because we've outgrown such peculiar behavior? Besides my only complaint concerning the road show discussions that came up earlier is that NYC wasn't selected as a host city for one of the events. Having attended one of a sort, last year, and got some what bored with most of it, but still found the time to be interested in the issues concerning what Z/OS plans on doing as it evolves, I believed then, and still do today that they didn't properly address the fact that an operating system like that needs to be a guest to do proper work as does Linux.

Re: How comments treated by DIRMAINT
DIRMAINT groups all LINKs first, MDISKs next. What makes it do it and can this be disabled, I can't remember. Possibly SORT_BY_DEVICE_ADDRESS in CONFIG DATADVH. I found the following in DIRMAINT's Tailoring and Administration Guide (SC24-6135), chapter 3.13 (this is how it treats USER INPUT file. Read Note 1): --- Comments in a non-System Affinity source directory (a directory that does not use the SYSAFFIN keyword in its internal form) must follow the directory statement to which they apply. DirMaint will re-order the sequence in which directory statements are placed, keeping comments associated with the previous real statement. For example, given the following directory segment: MDISK 0197 3380 DEVNO 00AF . * This comment is associated with the MDISK 0197 statement. * So is this comment. MDISK 0191 3380 DEVNO 00AA . * This comment is associated with the MDISK 0191 statement. * So is THIS comment. After the directory is manipulated and sorted by address (a selectable option) the same directory segment will appear as follows: MDISK 0191 3380 DEVNO 00AA . * This comment is associated with the MDISK 0191 statement. * So is THIS comment. MDISK 0197 3380 DEVNO 00AF . * This comment is associated with the MDISK 0197 statement. * So is this comment. Notes: 1. When DirMaint removes any directory statement, the comments that follow that statement are not removed. This may be of particular interest when processing a CMDISK command, as the MDISK is transferred to the DATAMOVE machine (removing it from the user's directory) and then transferred back to the user (but not associating it with any set of comments). 2. Blank lines are treated as comments and follow all the same rules.
