Sending an OS file from VM with FTP
I would like to FTP send an OS dataset (in this case a copy of the RACF database) to an MVS system at the DR site. I have tried various ways to define the input (Access the OS disk as T and then LCD T) but without success. Is this possible and, if so, how do I do it? Thanks in advance, Colin Allinson Amadeus Data Processing GmbH Germany
Re: Sending an OS file from VM with FTP
I do not know if FTP can read an OS/390 dataset. If not, you should use MOVEFILE to put it on a T-DISK, SFS, or MINIDISK, then FTP it from there. -Original Message- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Colin Allinson Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2008 7:19 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Sending an OS file from VM with FTP I would like to FTP send an OS dataset (in this case a copy of the RACF database) to an MVS system at the DR site.

Adding a Processor
I have an MVS guest that has the following VM Directory entries: MACHINE ESA 4 CPU 00 BASE CPUID 050607 CPU 01 CPUID 150607 CPU 02 CPUID 250607 The box has four processors and I would like to define a fourth to the above guest. After logging onto the guest I issue DEFINE CPU 03, then disconnect -- Correct? What, if anything, do I need to do on the MVS side to activate the additional processor?

Re: Adding a Processor - failed
After you do the 'CP DEFINE ' do a 'CP VARY ON PROC nn' before you
issue the MVS 'CONFIG.' command.
I haven't had occasion to do this, but there must be a reason that the
CP command 'VARY ON PROC' exists.

Re: Adding a Processor - failed
VAR ON PROC is for a real-to-VM processor.
DEFINE CPU defines a real-to-the-guest processor.

Re: Adding a Processor - failed
You have to define all your processors first before you IPL, and use VARY OFFLINE PROCESSOR in your profile exec to pare them back. We have this issue with our guest TPF systems. When we add a real processor to the LPAR configuration in which z/VM runs, we have to go back and change all our directory entries and profile execs for our guests. Running first level, you only have to reserve extra processors in your LPAR definition. When you add real processors to your configuration, since they are already defined to the LPAR, you can vary them online using the appropriate command for the os in question. In a z10, you're supposed to be able to actually change your LPAR definition on the fly. Apparently, the operating system can detect that and allow you to config or vary online the new processor.

The speaker will be Mr. Alan Altmark of the IBM Corporation. 10:30 AMCoffee Break 11:00 AMMigrating to the z/VM Virtual Switch Converting your existing point-to-point or z/VM Guest LAN configurations to the z/VM Virtual Switch can appear to be a daunting task, but it's easier than you think. Here we'll talk about how to move subnet routing off of your z/VM system and onto your networking hardware where it belongs. We'll even talk about how to create IEEE VLANs on a Cisco switch. This presentation is a great way to bridge the buzzword gap between you and your network administrators.. The speaker will be Mr. Alan Altmark of the IBM Corporation. 12:30 PMLunch Break 1:30 PM Administration and Vendor Announcements 1:45 PM Linux on z Update The speaker will present a brief update of recent developments in the Linux under z/VM area. The speaker will be Khaylen Kingsley of the IBM Corporation. 2:00 PM Provisioning Expert for Linux on zSeries - Version 1.4 Update Using the automated instance management feature of Mainstar's Provisioning Expert for Linux on zSeries product, a non-Linux or non-z/VM expert can easily create, configure, and maintain many virtual Linux instances under z/VM. You can also: * Reduce management costs by eliminating physical footprints * Eliminate errors with accurate configuration of Linux instances * Centrally view and manage all Linux instances * Provide efficient and automated resource utilization This session will include an overview of the new features in Version 1.4, an in-depth look at some of the advanced function, and some insight into possible future enhancements. The speaker will be Ms. Shari Killion of Mainstar Software. 3:15 PM Coffee Break and Prize Drawing 3:30 PM SOA: Selling it inside your organization SOA is not a technology, it is a concept. This presentation assumes no knowledge of SOA, and works up to showing very basic code samples and prerecorded demonstrations of SOA in action. If you are beginner to SOA, or are struggling with convincing others in your organization to embrace SOA, come to the presentation. You will be equipped to describe SOA in simple terms that everyone in your organization will understand. This presentation is primarily animations and prerecorded demos, therefore there will be no handout. The speaker will be Mr. Michael Potter of Replatform Technologies. 4:45 PM Free-for-All Members will attempt to answer any reasonable VM or hardware related questions.

While the underlying tech in CMS VSAM is VSE VSAM, the API is OS VSAM. Perhaps you can use the new DB2 Server for VSE and VM 7.5 client feature to let CMS reach over to VSE?

I have tried various ways to define the input (Access the OS disk as T and then LCD T) but without success. Is this possible and, if so, how do I do it? The FTP client wants filename, filetype, and filemode. You need to unload the RACF database to a CMS file and FTP *that* to the MVS site. From there it can be FTP'd back to a VM system and then the database reloaded from the CMS file. Alternatively, you can use DDR2CMS to create a DDR image of the disk and send that instead. Do not copy a minidisk containing a live RACF database unless you are using a RACF/VM utility (RACUTxxx) that specifically calls out the ability to run it against a live database. Some of the utilities do not serialize changes to the database. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
Trying to Learn z/Linux ISHELL Scripting
Dear Lists, Could any of you recommend reference material (web sites, manuals, redbooks/redpieces) so I could learn something about writing scripts under ISHELL in a z/Linux environment? TIA HITACHI DATA SYSTEMS Raymond E. Noal Senior Technical Engineer Office: (408) 970 - 7978
Re: Trying to Learn z/Linux ISHELL Scripting
Hi, Raymond. If by 'ISHELL' you mean the environment you get dumped into when you enter 'omvs' from the TSO command line, then there are several places to go look. As is common with Unix systems, you get to choose the shell you want to useand for USS you can choose from bash, tsch and a couple of others, that escape me at the moment. Each shell has it's own specific syntax and semantics...so it depends on what shell you are most comfortable with; for each shell there are a lot of information available on the web. Have a good one.

Well, there isn't anything such as ISHELL in Linux. I had an article titled Basic Bash Scripting for Mainframe Systems Programmers published by z/Journal in their previous issue: http://www.zjournal.com/index.cfm?section=articleaid=964 You might find it useful in getting started.

Hello all, What manual would I look into to get an explanation of all the statements which go into making up the directory. I've been looking at several different manuals but can't seem to put my finger on the correct one. Thanks.

CMS OS Sim reading LARGE z/OS flat files
I have a customer who currently uses an FTP-like process to move a large amount of data from z/OS to VM regularly, where it's then put into a database on VM... From what we know so far, the data is written out to a giant flat file on z/OS, then transferred and imported into the database on VM. (It's not DB2, but so far not sure just what it is.) The flat file can be up to about 40K records, and each record can be up to 3K long... In talking about their hardware configs, while they are separate systems today, it occurred to us that we could cable the VM system to the z/OS DASD and read the file directly on VM -- thus eliminating the overhead and delay of sending it over IP, no matter how fast the connection. It would mean changing their process to write a single file to a single volume, as opposed to today where z/OS just writes it as a multi-volume dataset across whatever free space. That would probably take either a 3390-27 or maybe a -54... So Does anyone have any experience using the CMS OS simulation stuff to read giant z/OS files? I know a CMS formatted minidisk can only go up to 32K cylinders, but haven't found any mention of limits for the OS simulation stuff. (Keep in mind it's almost always easier to change the VM end of the process.)

Re: CMS OS Sim reading LARGE z/OS flat files
We do that (well the FOCUS os bridge is what is doing it but it is o/s sim under the covers). Mod 9's today, but probably mod 27's by like Monday since their stuff just ran outta space. Just make sure you are doing set shared on on the volumes and define them as full pack (0 END) in the directory and r/o from VM.
