Re: Moving Minidisks
Hi Richard, No, you can't do any management activities for a user on HOLD until you have reactivated it. When a user is on HOLD, it is not contained in the object directory and, for all intents and purposes, does not exist while on HOLD. Reactivating the user puts it back in place in the object directory and all management functions can then continue.

Re: error bringing up cloned system
You know the by-path name before you ever create the Linux image. It will always be /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.CCUU.part1 (for SuSE SLES 10), where CCUU is the virtual address of the minidisk, if you're running as a z/VM guest, or the real CCUU of the device if you're running in an LPAR. (This also assumes that you've formatted the disk with a single partition.) This is the name that you have absolute control over, and will not change, as long as you do not change the virtual address of the minidisk, and there is absolutely no requirement to do that under normal circumstances. And, it is not dependant on the order in which the Linux image finds and brings the devices online, which is the problem the /dev/dasdxx names suffer from. -- Robert P. Nix Mayo Foundation.~.

Back in business. Thanks to everyone for the answers. I used by-path for the boot partition. For the LVL the suse default was NOT uuid. I changed that to use uuid. I created another userid and successfully cloned the image. By the way I missed the part about needing 500 meg to install this(used NFS). Used 256 meg instead and although it worked, kinda, I had very bad thruput problems. Took a while to figure out.

Re: VM source code
Leland, Dave is correct. You can download the 'Restricted and PL/X Source' files once you are licensed for z/VM. The restricted source is a no-charge option which can be ordered with your z/VM system or downloaded afterwards. To review the download and install instructions for the restricted source feature, go to: http://www.vm.ibm.com/install/srcinst.html Hope this helps. HITACHI DATA SYSTEMS Raymond E.

Re: Service level after RSU
So should we all do this? We id this back in when the RSU 0703 first came out. We checked it three times. We just thought that was just the way it was. If more than one is having trouble, something is out of sync. -Original Message- From: Alan Altmark [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Mar 3, 2008 8:36 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: Service level after RSU The easiest thing to do is to open a PMR.

Re: VM source code
I think there is an error in the installation instructions: Step (2) De-Compaction of Envelope(s) substep (b) Using the DETERSE MODULE substep (c) Check the Envelope Substep (c) requests to check the envelopes to be F 1024. That seems wrong: in substep (b), the envelopes were untersed into a SERVLINK file to be used by VMFPLCD. As far as I know VMFPLCD only uses RECFVM V files (those I found are V 4005). Switching substeps (b) and (c) would help. If that gets fixed, one should fix this as well: For example: To download volume 5 for Restricted Source using 3390 Should be For example: To download all 5 volumes for Restricted Source using 3390 2008/3/4, Raymond Noal [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Leland, Dave is correct.
