z/VM 5.4 CHPID Device question - IOCDS ??
Hello- we have the following configuration on a Z9 processor: 5-z/OS LPARS 1-z/VM LPAR. The IOCDS and all configurations are managed from one of the z/OS LPARs. We recently updated the IODFs to reflect that there are now OPTICAL DRIVES online to the z/VM LPAR. The IODF has been activated to all LPARs. The problem- we can NOT see the devices anywhere on the z/VM side. Not on the HMC on in z/VM. The CHPIDS were 1F 4F and the devices were 950-958. Even when we went to the ACTIVATE frame on the HMC-Nothing there. Anyone have any ideas?

may need to see chpid/cu and device statements in the iodf but assuming all that is correct, might (any) devices be notaccepted/sensed in the system config? see HELP CPSET DEVICES.

Re: How to manage multiple LPARs without RSCS
You can also use the CMS multitasking IPC queues and create a rexx server. I used a sample of Brian Wade, and I guess it is still available on the VM website. You'd also need the TCP/IP drivers for x-system access to the IPC queues, IIRC this driver is on VM's download pages. 2010/6/24 Mark Wheeler mwheele...@hotmail.com Rick, If you're moving files with SENDFILE, have you implemented UFTD? You can then issue SENDFILE MY FILE A TO user...@vm1.myco.com (UFTSYNC NETDATA I can't say this will help with VM:Operator, but it looks like JR pointed out a possible solution in another reply.

We have always had RSCS and used PROP or VM:Operator with a single logical operator being able to interact with groups or all of the LPARs. There is some question whether will want to keep licensing RSCS. Rick -- Hotmail has tools for the New Busy. Search, chat and e-mail from your inbox.

Re: z/VM 5.4 CHPID Device question - IOCDS ??
Sounds like the ACTIVATE command in z/OS did not complete successfully. Check your z/OS console.

zVM training
An FYI: It seems SUNY Binghamton NY is offering a series of z and Enterprise courses. I checked and they are offering an Intro to z/VM course,a z/VM Advanced Topics and Techniques class and an Intro to the HMC course. The courses are pricey. about $1400/course if you are a NYS resident, $2200/course if your are an out-of-stater. Thank you, Bob Molerio
