Re: z/VM 5.4 Install question

[Quay, Jonathan (IHG)]

It didn't take very long, but my workstation is about two hops away from the 
mainframe osa.

Thanks Jonathan,

That's about what I was thinking of doing. Do you remember how long the
SEND down to you z/VM system took? It warns in the manual that it could
take a while!

Terry, when I did this, I received .zip files from ShopZSeries.  I
unzipped them in to a directory structure on my workstation.  Then I
used my terminal emulator (PCOM) to upload them to a minidisk on my 1st
level system's VM 5.4 installation userid (MAINT54 in my case).
Instructions/requirements for that userid are on pp 61-62 of.  the Guide
for Automated Installation and Service.  Then follow the instructions in
Appendix J.   Use the .srl file and the upload is automated for you.

Hi



This has probably been broached before here but I could not find the
specifics that I was looking for sorry if this is a repeat question.



Anyway I am getting ready to install z/VM 5.4 and I ordered the product
via Shop Z Series. I was able to download everything including the RSU
to my desk top all in the same folder. Since I do not have the means at
this time to do the install via DVD I was going to use a Terminal
Emulator to Upload Files and install via a z/VM mini disk. I am using
the Automated Install and Service Guide as my reference for the install.
I know this is going to be slow but it looks like it will work.



My question is that it is a little confusing when it keeps talking about
the DVD install I am assuming that since the download to my desk top
into a folder called CPDVD that by SENDING it via the Terminal Emulator
to my z/VM system to a mini disk that it is the same thing as if it were
on a real DVD is this a correct assumption? Please add any other
information that you think I should be aware of. This is my first real
install of the operating system so I want to do it right.





Thanks for the help!!

What that step is doing is making sure the transfer is an F 1028 binary
transfer.  Make sure you do that in whatever emulator you're using.

Jonathan,

 

One other thing in the manual in appendix J one of the steps says to:

 

 1) In the Transfer Type field, enter "dvdbinary".

 

Did you do this or did you just make sure it said BINARY? I can't the

You must use FTP server or you must insert DVD in HMC, in "Guide and 
Automated..." book GC24_6196-00. This book is for z/VM 6.1 but you can use the 
process for all release. All it explains

Re: z/VM 5.4 Install question

[Kris Buelens]

If I remember well, it is fully explained how to install when you upload the
files to VM.  It must be different a bit: using a real DVD, it uses FTP to
get access to the files that must be installed.  When uploaded it cab
directly read the files from a CMS minidisk.  But, I don't have the
installation document here at home

Hi 

 

This has probably been broached before here but I could not find the
specifics that I was looking for sorry if this is a repeat question. 

 

Anyway I am getting ready to install z/VM 5.4 and I ordered the product
via Shop Z Series. I was able to download everything including the RSU
to my desk top all in the same folder. Since I do not have the means at
this time to do the install via DVD I was going to use a Terminal
Emulator to Upload Files and install via a z/VM mini disk. I am using
the Automated Install and Service Guide as my reference for the install.
I know this is going to be slow but it looks like it will work. 

 

My question is that it is a little confusing when it keeps talking about
the DVD install I am assuming that since the download to my desk top
into a folder called CPDVD that by SENDING it via the Terminal Emulator
to my z/VM system to a mini disk that it is the same thing as if it were
on a real DVD is this a correct assumption? Please add any other
information that you think I should be aware of. This is my first real
install of the operating system so I want to do it right.
