We do run a few small zLinux guests on it to test things before we roll maintenance or upgrades to the other two lpars. Obviously there's historic reasons why we do that 2nd level rather than in LPAR. Some of that go back way before EMIF and you just would not get the hardware for it. The other reason is that many shops do not let the system programmers near the HMC to IPL an LPAR. And you can have more than one, so it also allows every system programmer to get the necessary experience of breaking a system. To me the big advantage is that you don't have to tinker with the configuration of that 2nd level system to get a network up, for example (though with TCP/IP it is easier than with VTAM). I see your tech support system more as the integration test, once you've verified that the new system is able to support your own work. Rob
FLASHCOPY performance to a DS6800 DASD
Hello Everyone, I need some confirmation. I am just amazed at the performance of the DS6800 I just did the z/VM command FLASHCOPY on a 3390-mod 9 on DS6800 to another 3390-mod 9 volume on the DS6800. FLASHCOPY 8A2 0 END TO 8A1 0 END SYNCHRONOUS The command responded instantaneously. SYNChronous tells CP to process the command immediately and does not allow you to enter any other commands until the hardware has accepted all parameters, all messages from the Enterprise Storage Server (ESS) subsystem have been processed, and the FLASHCOPY command completes. Is the DS6800 and the FLASHCOPY really that fast or is there something going on behind the scenes? Performance has been pretty unbelievable but the FLASHCOPY was just too fast.

Re: Question on how RSU maintenance is being handled with DIRMAINT and RACF in the picture
I always user SERVICE and PUT2PROD, but I use them on the 2nd lvl test system. They don't come near the systems that real people, i.e. users, use. As far as an ESM goes, I have RACF, so that's a moot point for me. I realize that VM development has limited resources and I recognize that VM installation/maintenance has to be designed or tailored for the least common denominator that being, for example, the MVS sysprog or the UNIX sysadmin who has been told to bring up VM in order to host LINUX. Nevertheless I don't think that Endicott needs to go out of their way to cut out the few remaining, experienced VM sysprogs that still haven't retired to a rocking chair on the front porch of a retirement home.

The minidisks passwords tell which is which. cough For those without ESMs, those passwords must serve a Higher Authority. This way we always have a backout and operators can be explained which minidisk addresses to swap and which servers to restart in case a backout is required. Looking down the road, I see a rough ride for people who don't use SERVICE and PUT2PROD. For TCP/IP, consider using test servers with TCPMAINT 491/492. For CMS tests, IPL 490 and use 493.

Re: FLASHCOPY performance to a DS6800 DASD
Hi Ed Yep, it is amazing, especially for those of us that never had access to a high performance dasd subsystem before. Without the sync parm, the command comes back immediately. With the sync parm, the command comes back when the DS6800 has gathered all the information/control blocks necessary, and starts the flashcopy. I've never been able to determine when a flashcopy is completed, other than looking at the lights on the box. That has been a problem as if you need to rerun the flashcopy command again (like something bombed out in the rexx exec and it is easier just to reexecute the exec), it tells you that the to volume is in use. So if you have a mixture of large and small volumes, the small volumes get a repeat of being flashed and the large volumes end up with the original flash. There is suppose to be a way from the DS6800 console to determine what flashes are running, but I never got that far. Also, if you want to flash a series of volumes at the same instant, it can be done via the DS6800 console. I flash minidisks, so I can only use the VM Flashcopy command. BTW, have you noticed that when you run batch jobs, you are always near 100% cpu utilization? My boss keeps asking me who is in a loop. We are running just fine G.

I did some maintenance on PERFKIT and PUT2PROD it on my production system. The process rebuilt CMS. This was a major surprise, although it was my fault for not figuring out what PUT2PROD was going to do before it did it (read the build list). I think the default action of PUT2PROD should be to indicate what exactly it's going to do with options to skip various steps in the process to protect the novice (and also the lazy) systems programmer, and also those with different procedures, for example VSSI customers. -Original Message- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alan Altmark Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2008 11:36 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: Question on how RSU maintenance is being handled with DIRMAINT and RACF in the picture On Wednesday, 07/16/2008 at 09:39 EDT, Rob van der Heij [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Wed, Jul 16, 2008 at 6:05 AM, Alan Altmark [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: BTW, there's nothing wrong with building a test system and then copying that into production in whatever way you wish.

Sure, and you just want to get your problem solved! We understand that. Since it appears that something is going on, how about changing the EXECIO CP to just a 'CP CLOSE CONSOLE OPERATOR' to see if you get the message *then*? And add CP QUERY SET just before it, too, to see if something is turning IMSG/EMSG off. A suggestion. If you just want to trap and parse the output, DIAG is much cleaner: parse value diag(8, 'CLOSE CONSOLE OPERATOR') with . . file . ...gets you the SPOOL file number (if that's what you wanted) in one operation. Doesn't help with the where's my message? issue, but it does make your code shorter and cleaner. Let us know what happens! ...phsiii

Re: Question on how RSU maintenance is being handled with DIRMAINT and RACF in the picture
In order to be more democratic and accommodating, we could have a CANCEL button that said: CANCEL not allowed. You must press OK. Press CANCEL to press OK. Press OK to CANCEL the CANCEL and then press OK. Maybe expand the choice with one more option: If you still wish to press CANCEL to NOT press OK which cancels the CANCEL and presses OK, contact your Systems Programmer. :-)
