Hello James,

a small hint from my site with using SSLSERV with z/VM 5.4:

Dymamic SSL (TLS) does not run with  SECURECONNECTION ALLOWED  at this 

point of time. We have a PMR open.

The circumvention is SECURECONNECTION PREFERRED or SECURECONNECTION

Updating RMCONFIG

2009-01-22 Thread Shimon Lebowitz
The RMCONFIG DATA file contains the device numbers
of the tape drives (real or virtual) that are usable by the 
current instance of DFSMS/RMS.

I would like to know if it is possible to update this file 
and 
a) have RMS *stop* using devices I have deleted from the file,
b) have RMS *start* using devices I have added to the file?

My main problem right now is 'a'.

Do I need to 'bounce' RMS, or can it update its configuration 
on the fly?

Thanks,
Shimon

Shimon,

Yes, you need to recycle RMSMASTR for the config changes to be
recognized ... but for 'a', can't you just vary the drives offline?

Re: OSA layer 2 protocol connections...

2009-01-22 Thread Mark Pace
I've got to learn to keep better notes.  This worked once in my z/VM 5.4
under z/VM 5.2 running in an LPAR with a GP engine.
Now I'm trying to do the same thing,  z/VM 5.4 as guest in z/VM 5.2 in an
LPAR with an IFL.  I have defined a NIC for the 2nd level z/VM 5.4 guest,
and connected it to the layer 3 vswitch.  Now in z/VM 5.4 when I try to
define a layer 2 vswitch with that NIC I get errors.

define vswitch vswtch1 rdev 600 contr * ethernet
VSWITCH SYSTEM VSWTCH1 is created
HCPSWU2832E Connection 0600.P00 for VSWITCH SYSTEM VSWTCH1 is not active.
HCPSWU2832E A mismatch was found in the LAN transport type.
HCPSWU2830I VSWITCH SYSTEM VSWTCH1 status is disconnected following error.

I can not figure out what I'm doing differently this time. I'm certain,
mostly, that it is not the IFL.

  Looking through the books, it would appear that the changes needed to
 go
 from
  layer 3 to layer 2 protocol would be to add ?ETHERNET? to the vSwitch
  definition, and to add ?ETHERNET? to the DEVICE description in the
 profile
  TCPIP file. Now, as you may well have guessed by the fact that I?m
 posting this
  message, doing this didn?t produce desirable results. I.E. The
 connection doesn?
  t ping or work in any other useful way.

 There is no ETHERNET option on the DEVICE statement, so you're probably
 getting configuration errors and the device isn't activating.  Check the
 TCPIP console log.  In z/VM 5.4 there is an ETHERNET statement on the
 LINK
 (type QDIOETHERNET) statement.  This capability is not in z/VM 5.3.

  Do I need to talk to the network people? Is there something they need
 to
 do in
  the OSA, or on the network? Have I missed something in the
 configuration? Do I
  need to check for more current maintenance? (Right now, this is on z/VM
 5.3...
  Soon to be 5.4)

 Layer 2 vs. 3 is set entirely within the OSA by the host.  There's
 nothing
 for your networking people to do.  Remember, however, that with Layer 2
 the virtual MAC address will appear on the REAL network.  Therefore it
 must be unique within the LAN segment.  With a single VM system you're
 ok,
 but with two or more systems on the same LAN segment, you need to use the
 MACPREFIX in SYSTEM CONFIG to set the prefix to be unique.

Re: zvm 5.2 storage limits, zlinux?

2009-01-22 Thread David Boyes
I would suggest splitting it when you can¹t meet your recovery time
objective for the server if it tanks completely. It depends completely on
how fast you can recover.

Consider also that there may be logical break points in the directory tree
that you could address using the Microsoft DFS extensions to CIFS (which is
supported by Samba). That would partially hide the seams between servers and
let you keep the size of an individual server managing a part of the
directory tree under the recovery objective time while still presenting the
illusion of a single server to clients. You might also consider using a
different back end data store, like OpenAFS or Lustre, which have CIFS
front-ends but have much better data management capabilities behind them.

CANCELLED - MVMRUG January 23, 2009 Meeting

2009-01-22 Thread Dale R. Smith
Due to a late start on my part for planning the January meeting, I was no

able to get enough speakers for the meeting, so I am unfortunately going 

to cancel the meeting.

The good news is, I already have two speakers lined up for the April 
meeting and a possibiltity of one more speaker, depending on how full a 

schedule we want.  The April meeting is currently scheduled for April 24,
 
2009 in Columbus,OH.  That date may change as MVMRUG is trying to 
coordinate meeting days with other VM User Groups to make it easier for 

speakers to schedule sessions with multiple groups in the same timeframe,
 
(usually in the same week), and not any meetings on the same day of the 

week.

Another method is to setup a service machine running PROP. Operators then
send a request to the service machine which runs the dump on behalf of the

continues working with userid without SPXTAPE messages except those you wish
them to see using PROP. 

You can also check the tape volid, create a simply tape pool, rotate them to
request the old tapes in pool. I hate writing over production tapes by

This is a service machine. There is no PROP involved. Since there is
nothing else that will be transpiring on the machine until the dump has
completed, Bruce's solution is probably the easiest.

 I used a different method than wakeup - a little polling:
 
 /* SPXTAPE runs in the background. We wait for it to get finished   */
 Do until spx='' | RC0   /* Wait for no status or interrupt*/
'CP SLEEP 3 SEC ATTN'  /* Wait for SPXTAPE to finish */
Parse value diag(8,'QUERY V' tapeaddr) with . 'SPXTAPE' 
 spx '15'x End

  Am I correct in thinking that SPXTAPE DUMP is asynchronous? 
 If so, how 
  can an end of dump be recognized by the disconnected user 
 issuing the SPXTAPE?

 You have to capture the messages and parse for:
 
   SPXTAPE DUMP COMMAND COMPLETED  ON VDEV vdev(WITH ERRORS)
 
 or the error variations listed in the help file.
 
 This is one of the major reasons why I want a SPXTAPE version that can be
 input or output to a PIPE.

Or a WAIT option with return codes.

Calling for Session Chairs at SHARE in Austin!

2009-01-22 Thread Rich Smrcina
SHARE in Austin is a little more than 5 weeks away.  It's that time again to put the 
call out for session chairs.  The list of sessions, in time sequence, is below.


A session chair meets and introduces the speaker, gets to make a really cool speech, 
counts session attendees, keeps general order and collects session evaluation forms at 
the end of the session.


Feel free to sign up for any sessions you think you may plan to attend.

To go along with the SHARE themes, one of which is Total Enterprise Virtualization, the 
Linux and VM Program is featured prominently in a new Virtualization theme room with a 
separate set of sessions.  These sessions are listed along with the sessions below with 
a V after the session number.  We ask that there be two chairs for each of these sessions.

XIP (Execute In Place) on z/Linux RedHat 4.6

2009-01-22 Thread Martin, Terry R. (CMS/CTR) (CTR)
Hi 

 

I am looking into XIP and I am wondering someone can share their
experiences in terms of setting up XIP and actually running with it.
Also does RedHat 4.6 support XIP?

 

Thanks,

 

Terry
