I think you have to install /import first the root-certificates of your own

Subject: Receive requested certificate - Status 0x03353024 - Issuer certificate 
not found.

This is my first time to receive a certificate using CMS SSL support. I think I 
followed all the steps correctly but I'm receiving the above message when using 
option 5. Receive requested certificate. I created a certificate request, 
downloaded it and gave it to my network guy to get a certificate. I then 
uploaded the certificate and tried to receive it. Import (7) gives me the same 
message. When I displayed the certificate it displayed N/A for label field. Can 
this be the problem? If so did I receive a correct certificate from Thawte. I 
also found an APAR OA03444 but the USERS AFFECTED Description does not appear 
to apply to me but the error message does.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Hans

Re: HCD

2010-07-20 Thread Riedel, Alexander
Hi Richard,

you also have the possibility to ftp a file direct into the Reader of a VM 
Guest. There is a parameter RDR in the ftp-server configfile SRVFTP.CONFIG.

You can check with the commands q hcd if you can change dynamic a iocp / iodf

q hcd
06:32:05 HCD is currently active: IODF = IODFBD PRODIODF
HCD is enabled for dynamic hardware changes
HCD is controlling the software configuration: OSCONFIG ID = IZV4
HCD recovery is not currently required

and with the command q token you can read the token of the activ IODF.

q token
06:33:13 The target HCD configuration token is:
CPUWB   ...m10-01-1310:38:05SYSSIODFBD

With the command

cbdsact iodfxy * * * (test

you can test an activate of a IODF in z/VM.

Kind regards,

Alexander

z/OS is capable of writing the IOCDS to the hardware remotely, however the 
problem is trying to do a dynamic activate of the new iocds (She called me to 
discuss this earlier). I have no boxen that do not have an z/OS LPAR on them so 
the dynamic activation  is initiated from z/OS and z/VM dynamically senses the 
changes.

I just don't know if there is a command in z/VM to do the dynamic activation 
without z/VM rewriting the token and hence having to do the export/import

I would run HCD on the VM-only machines and use the import function.  It 
is HCD that examines the differences between the old and new IODFs and 
issues the dynamic activations.

She thinks the gist of the process is

*   use the Export command on the z/OS HCD using the production IODF. This 
should contain the hardware token.
*   FTP the file to CBDSACT user id under VM.
*   Import the file using the CBDIODSP

At this point, she hits a snag because the import expects a reader file. Is 
that solved simply by SPOOL PUN * followed by PUN fn ft fm (NOH or is some 
other format required?

There is one final problem, "I still need to know how to get VM to do the 
dynamic activations using the CBDSACT rexx utility using the exported file from 
MVS."

Not that long unless its 57 Terabytes.
I think it's the safe thing to do too, but z/OS is doing them this time (don't 
ask) and they are questioning the necessity.
Would be good to have a definitive answer from IBM!   (IBM disk).

Marcy,
I use ICKDSF to format all new DASD that is assigned to a VM LPAR, whether it's 
a new purchase or transfer from z/OS.  It might not be necessary, but it 
doesn't hurt.  I run eight format jobs in parallel using VM:Batch, so it 
doesn't take very long.

Hi Marcy,

I use to format the whole volume under CPFMTXA or ICKDSF on z/OS and
then turn around only to have Linux format them again a real waste of

So now I just init cylinder zero with a z/VM Label for doc purposes and
it works fine.

It's not really the very latest fashion in HLASM...  it could be that
it lives under the 16M completely. Check with STORMAP whether you have
loaded some other stuff under the line that uses a large part (or
fragments it) since last time you assembled. It's also possible that
you normally run the assembler from DCSS, but something is now
blocking your sight.

Go back to your usual 32M and IPL CMS to make sure you did your best.
Oh, and did you check that the record format of the file is correct?
I've seen compilers give confusing messages when presented RECFM V
files.

Never mind. Did something stupid. I added a macro with the following

Changed it to the correct format fixed the problem:
