So if that's all there is, why would anyone bother to install z/VM 6.1?

FTPPUT expects the remote server to respond to PASV with
  227 text (d1,d2,d3,d4,p1,p2)

z/VM 5.3 FTP server responds with
  227 text d1,d2,d3,d4,p1,p2

The parentheses were added in z/VM 5.4.

Pricing didn't change, unless the price of one Value Unit changed, which I 
doubt.  I compared the 6.1 and 5.4 announcements.  They both use Value Unit 
exhibit VUE021.

Z/VM dump question

[Mart]

Hi,

I'd like to ask how can I make z/Linux dump. 
I know that I can use VMDUMP tool but I want to check how stand-alone dum
p
will work.

My system is z/VM ver. 5.4 and SLES10.

Is below procedure correct?

1. Install the dump tool using the zipl command.
   for example: zipl -d /dev/dasdc1
An the take dump from z/VM Linux quest:
2. Stop all CPUs
   #cp cpu all stop
3. Store status on the IPL CPU.
   #cp store status
4. IPL the dump tool.
   #cp i 193 - 193 is DASD device
   The following PSW indicates that the dump process has completed   
 
successfully:  
(64-bit) PSW: 0002 8000  

5. IPL Linux guest again.


Thank you,

Mart

Re: PIPEDDR

[Bruce Hayden]

You could get an error from Pipelines, which would be in the Pipelines
documentation, or an error from the FTP stages.  The only
documentation about the ftp stages is part of the DRPC download
package, and it doesn't list any possible errors, just the syntax for
using them.  As I stated in the help file for PIPEDDR:  "The FTP
stages are not part of PIPEDDR, are not officially supported by
IBM, and source code is not provided.  Any errors may not be fixable."

Re: CMSDDR & VMARC question

[Henry, Bob]

I'm not exactly sure how the traffic is routed, but the test I'm doing 
originates on the same z/VM 5.3 system (168.162.215.71) that is also the remote 
destination system of the FTP PUT. I would normally think there was a firewall 
or something interfering but the following series of commands work fine when 
imbedded in a simple REXX exec. 

In the example below, the variables are predefined with these values: 
cmsid=USERA, ftpft=DDR191, ftpfm=X and cmspw=. 

...
push 'QUIT'   
push 'PUT' cmsid'.'ftpft'.'ftpfm cmsid'.'ftpft  
push 'SITE FIXRECFM 1024' 
push 'SENDSITE'   
push 'BI' 
push cmsid cmspw  
'FTP 168.162.215.71 ( Exit'

Since the Rexx error that you receive from ftpput concerns passive

z/VM 6.1 G.A. targeted for this Friday, Oct 23

[Mike Walter]

In case it slipped by, the G.A. announcement for a/VM 6.1 was posted 
today, see (watch for URL wrap):

http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?subtype=ca&infotype=an&appname=iSource&supplier=897&letternum=ENUS209-401&open&cm_mmc=5733-_-n-_-vrm_newsletter-_-10207_135548&cmibm_em=dm:0:1417348#h2-availx

Remember, z/VM has runs only on System z10 (and presumably, future 
machines, too!).  Part of the announcement includes:
--
z/VM V6.1 requires a new Architecture Level Set (ALS) that is available on 
the:

System z10 Enterprise Class 
Refer to the DEVICE2097 Preventive Service Planning (PSP) bucket for the 
minimum MCL level and any required updates.

System z10 Business Class 
Refer to the DEVICE2098 Preventive Service Planning (PSP) bucket for the 
minimum MCL level and any required updates.

Specific processor facilities required by z/VM V6.1 can be found on the 
z/VM Web site at
http://www.ibm.com/vm/zvm610/architecture/
--

And so it begins... product positioning for z/VM "single system image".

from z/VM development, and the source is not available for it, so I
don't know what could be wrong.  I've never tried it myself to a z/VM
system.

CAVMEN Meeting on Thursday, October 22, 2009 - Road Construction Update

[Chicago Area VM (and Linux) Enthusiasts]

The fourth quarter meeting of the Chicago Area VM 
(and Linux) Enthusiasts will be held on Thursday, October 22, 2009.


ROAD CONSTRUCTION UPDATE:

Construction work is in progress on Half Day Road 
(Route 22) near the entrance to Hewitt.   Three 
of the four lanes are open, but there may be 
delays.   The Hewitt Associates 'Monument" sign 
at the entrance has been removed during the 
construction.  There is a traffic light at the 
entrance, and a "Hewitt Drive" street sign that 
is suspended from cables very high above the 
intersection.  If you haven't been here before, 
watch for the sign.  If you are exiting I-94 onto 
Route 22, the Hewitt entrance is West of I-94 on 
the right side of Route 22.  It is only 500 feet 
from the point where the I-94 Southbound exit 
ramp meets Route 22.  Be careful not to miss it.


If possible, avoid the intersection of Half day 
Road (Route 22) and Milwaukee Avenue (Route 
21).  The construction is causing long delays there.


Please Drive Carefully!

Final Meeting Agenda:

9:00 AM z/VM Platform Update: Introducing 
z/VM V6.1 - Advancing the Art of Server Virtualization


This presentation will highlight the new 
functions available with z/VM V6.1, IBM's newest 
version of advanced server virtualization support 
for IBM System z. Building on the functionally 
rich base of z/VM Version 5.4, z/VM V6.1, 
previewed on July 7, 2009, further enhances the 
economic attractiveness of consolidating 
workloads on the mainframe. Find out how z/VM 
V6.1 on IBM System z10 advances the art of 
enterprise virtualization. The speaker will also 
provide an overview of future z/VM support 
("statements of direction") included in the z/VM V6.1 preview announcement.


The speaker will be Alan Altmark of the IBM Corporation.

10:30 AMCoffee Break

11:00 AMSecurity Zones in z/VM

In multi-tier network applications, there is 
usually the concept of "demilitarized zones", or 
DMZs, that each contain a set of servers. Each 
DMZ is separated from others by firewalls and by 
access policies to ensure that there is no 
unwanted user access or flow of data. Learn in 
this presentation how to properly build virtual 
DMZs and to integrate virtual servers into your 
existing DMZs. We will also discuss using the 
RACF Security Server on z/VM to prevent a "red 
zone" server from connecting to a "green zone" network or "green zone" data...


The speaker will be 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 Paul Augustyniak of the IBM Corporation.

2:00 PM What makes a successful Proof of Concept for Linux on System z

Most companies begin their first foray into the 
Linux on System z world by conducting a z Linux 
POC. This presentation will draw upon the many 
years of experience of the presenter and the dos 
and dont's of a POC. Marianne will discuss how to 
pick the application and other "technical" aspects.


The speaker will be Marianne Eggett of Mainline Information Systems.

3:15 PM Coffee Break and Prize Drawing

3:30 PM System z Linux Proof of Concept - 
Project Management Best Practices


It's an important step - so when you are ready to 
move forward, make sure you're on solid ground. 
From planning, to proving, to production, there 
are a lot of intricate details to think about 
when you are considering a Linux implementation. 
In this session, Marianne Eggett summarizes 
industry best practices for project management of 
your IBM System z Linux Proof-of-Concept (POC). 
These best practices are based on her 30 + years 
in IT and 8 focusing on L
