Re: [?? Probable Spam] PTK USRLIMITS by shifts?
Shimon, see usage note 1 for the FC USRLIMIT command: it tells you that PerfKit will associate the user limit values with a user that were set at the time the first set of performance data was collected for that user (either PerfKit start or first user logon). Later changes will not affect users that are already logged on, sorry ..

Re: How to tell how many linux running on z/VM?
A naming convention is probably the simplest way to ensure you get everything.. LNXx or what have you. Anything else is just guessing when it comes down to it, when talking about checking dynamically. You can use PIPE CP Q N | SPLIT AT /,/ | STRIP | FIND LNX| count lines|consif you happen to use LNX as the prefix... Or keep a table - which in the end you need one in one form or another (even if a list of CP XAUTOLOG statements in AUTOLOG2 PROFILE EXEC). What do you use to ensure the Linux guests are running when VM IPLs? Whatever it is, it is probably a good basis for counting how many are supposed to be running. Scott p.s. PIPE CP Q SIGNALS | DROP FIRST 2 | COUNT LINES | CONS -- can be pretty accurate in a pinch depending on what else uses signals.

Re: How to tell how many linux running on z/VM?
And perhaps a set of clarifying questions: 1- do you mean those Linux guests logged on at a particular moment? 2- do you mean Linux guests defined in the directory? 3- do you care which are production, development, test, QA, or sandbox machines? Perhaps if you described the reason for the query, we can better describe solutions.

Strong incentive to make sure that either all of the linux guests IPL from the same virtual address or, at the very least, that none of them has a virtual 190.

Re: spool vol
As Kris already mentioned, the root cause is not the Shared File System.
The first message you describe does not exist. It appears that you
actually meant message: HCPWRS2509E
z/VM is great with keeping message help online. From any VM userid,
enter: Help msg HCPwrs2509E
(where you only need to enter the uppercase letters in that "Help" command
above)
On our z/VM 5.4.0 system is responds:
--
MSG HCPWRS2509E All Help Informationline 1
of 40
(c) Copyright IBM Corporation 1990, 2008
HCP2509E Spool file control data error {,CCPV PPVV|on volume volser,
BLOCK blkno}
Explanation: This spool file has bad control information. If the device
is a
CKD or ECKD, the PPVV variable is the cylinder (), page (PP), and
volume (VV). If the device is an FBA, the volser variable is the label
specified in the SYSOWN list and the blkno variable identifies in
hexadecimal
the block number where the spool file in error is located. The spool file
is
scheduled to be deleted.
This could be caused by one of the following:
o The CPVOL list may have been reordered, leaving spool volumes at
different
relative positions on the list.
o The WARMSTART cylinders (CKD/ECKD devices) or pages (FBA devices) may
have
been overwritten.
o Some portion of spool space may have been overwritten, corrupting the
spool map pages.
o A volume with the same name as the valid spool volume may have been
picked
up by the system, in place of the proper volume.
This error could also occur for system data files that will also be
scheduled
for deletion.
System Action: System operation continues temporarily. If the file in
error
is known, it is identified in message HCP2510E, which is issued after
this
message.
When the preliminary phase of spooling initialization is complete, spool
file
summary status is displayed, and system initialization can be stopped at
operator request.
Operator Response: Report this error condition to your system support
personnel.
--
Since you _appear_ to be relatively early in the installation, I can only
offer questions and suggestions.
1- (explaining the first bullet in the help message above)
Did you change the SLOT numbers of SPOOL volumes on the SYSOWN list
inside the "SYSTEM CONFIG" file
on MAINT's CF1, CF2, or CF3 disks?
sugg: One should NEVER change slot numbers for SPOOL volumes in "SYSTEM
CONFIG" without first making
a complete SPOOL backup using SPXTAPE. Changing SPOOL volume SLOT
numbers already causes loss of
SPOOL files including System Data Files (SDFs - critical for saved
systems like CMS) at the next IPL.
Only SPOOL volumes suffer from this fate. Read the SYSTEM CONFIG
doc carefully. Experiment on 2nd level
z/VM guests systems.
2- (explaining the 2nd and 3rd bullets on the help message above)
Did you manually change/add a minidisk in SYSTEM DIRECT (without
benefit of some product like DIRMAINT)?
sugg: Don't delete IBM provided userids or minidisks mapped by IDs
$SPOOL$, $$, etc.
If not running DIRMAINT, then ALWAYS run DISKMAP or DIRMAP before
and after disk changes to ensure
that there are no unexpected lines containing the word "OVERLAP".
3- (the 4th help message bullet is pretty self-explanatory).

The spool can be queried with CP Q ALLOC SPOOL (gives how full the spool extents are) and with CP Q SDF/CP Q FILES to find how many files exist of each spool type and with CP Q RDR/PUN/PRT/NSS/TRF to find the individual files Q LIMITS at the other hand is a CMS command to query about the logical allocations CMS user have in a shared file System (SFS).

Extracting an IOCP from the HMC
I inherited a z10 system and tonight I'd need to update the IOCP. The the guy that maintained the system can no longer be reached. The z10 was recently migrated from a z800. On Maint 191, I do find 2 IOCP files with fname Z10-2098 but the filetype is IOCPPREP, and still mentions two LPAR and the z10 only has one. So, I'm sure I do **not** have the IOCP that was placed on USB or CD to be imported on the HMC of the brandnew z10. I thought I could extract the IOCP from the HMC, but now that I did, I see that I get 5 CSV files on the USB stick, far from an IOCP source. On the HMC, I used "Systems Managment", selected the "Z10SE" server, expanded "Configuration" and selected "System Input/output Configuration analyzer", there I find under File "Save data to USB Flash memory Drive" The HMC online help isn't very helpful to find how to export a real IOCP source. -- Kris Buelens, IBM Belgium, VM customer support
