Does z/VM support direct attach over FCP to tape drive?
Hi, Does z/VM 5.3 support tape drive over FCP? Currently I am using it over FC but need to use with FCP, is it possible?

Re: CP unresponsive on certain guests
Terry wrote, it is imperative that you have a robust paging subsystem I do not claim great knowledge in z/VM performance matters. Where ignorance is bliss, tis folly to be wise (Thomas Gray) Does z/VM, unlike z/OS, still need to do a lot of paging? In the z/OS world paging has become virtually(no pun intended :-)) non-existent. So what's all this fuss about paging in z/VM. True, you still need enough page space defined on disk to back storage. But after that there should be little to nil paging going on at least in the z/OS, MVS world. I know years ago there were problems with the handshaking between MVS and VM. The problem being it was virtually :-) non-existent, unlike VSE which had the VM/VSE Feature. So that whenever an MVS address space got a page fault, the entire MVS virtual machine was swapped out. But, I thought, that was addressed :-) years ago and today z/VM is aware of such things. So, then why the need for a robust paging subsystem. It all kinda leaves you starry-eyed and vaguely discontented. Martin, Terry R.

Having a well configured paging subsystem will greatly reduce the possibility of issues when your system has a high paging rate due to the over commitment of Available Real Memory versus the total memory of all users running in the LPAR combined. The higher this over commitment ratio the more paging is introduced. The good news is as long as you have a sufficient paging subsystem z/VM handles paging nicely even at relatively high rates. So over commitment of real memory in z/VM is good just keep an eye out so that the ratio stays within reason.

The answer to your first question is to use the CP FORCE command (HELP CP FORCE will tell you all about it.) The VM user id issuing the FORCE command needs to have privilege class A as well. Usually this is done from either MAINT or OPERATOR. The answer to your second question is a bit more difficult, I'm afraid. As Marcy has already suggested, what does a Q SRM command show? My first guess would be that your SLES11 guest is falling into Q3 and never given an opportunity to run. To find out *why* the guest is not able to run, you need the services of a good z/VM performance monitor.IBM offers the Performance Monitor (it comes bundles with z/VM, but it's an extra cost offering) and Velocity Software (http://www.velocity-software.com/) has a very good suite of products as well. IMHO it' practically impossible to run a modern production grade z/VM-zLinux system without a good performance monitor to help solve issues like the one your having now.

HCPMCV1459E trying to IPL a z/VM guest with CPU Type = IFL
We have several z/VM test systems that run either z/VM 5.3, 5.4, or 6.1. All the systems run as guests in the same LPAR under the same z/VM 5.4 host. Of the several, we have only ONE that cannot be reconfigured to run in VCONFIG set to LINUX and CPU type set to IFL. This particular system would be running z/VM 5.4 if it would IPL. Here's the attempt to IPL: snip SET VCONFIG MODE LINUX MODE = LINUX Storage cleared - system reset. DEFINE CPU 0 TYPE IFL CPU 00 redefined as TYPE IFL Storage cleared - system reset.

Re: CP unresponsive on certain guests
Yes, and the original statement was based on the assumption that the over commitment of real memory was high. Obviously if there is little to no over commitment than you will see very little paging from z/VM on behalf of the users. I will also add that even in z/OS say you are running a good size DB2 environment if you do not have ample real storage you will still see paging for sure to your paging subsystem and without expanded storage no longer available in z/OS it will go right to DASD.

Automated Logon (autofill userid and password) using TN3270 of TCP/IP for VM or Logical Device
Hello, We are not using an External Security Manager(no ESM). I am trying to see if it is possible to do the following: 1. Logon to CMS with userid'A' 2. (Get userid'B' and password through some authorized method) 3. using the telnet command (in transparent mode) and automatically login to userid'B'. 4. (do some work with userid'B' interacting with the physical person) 5. logoff userid'B' and return control to userid'A' I could probably achieve what I want by programming using Logical Device and doing the logon in my code. Then I have to manage all the 3270 conversation from beginning to end. I am just wandering if such a solution already exists. I would hate to re-invent something like that. Thanks!

Re: Automated Logon (autofill userid and password) using TN3270 of TCP/IP for VM or Logical Device
One possibility (without any ESM's) might be to place a directory statement in USERB's directory reading: LOGONBY USERA That would permit USERA to LOGONBY to USERB, but with CP asking for USERA's own logon password. That would permit the TELNET logon to be automated right up until USERA's own logon password is required. Do you fully understand that when USERA logs onto USERB, they have all the resources and authorizations of USERB? After all, they have actually LOGGED ON as USERB. If USERB has privclass A, then whomever logs onto USERB can SHUTDOWN the system. And USERA can see (and erase, and restore - even old files) all the files to which USERB has access. Think the access and authorizations through very carefully before venturing down this path.

Re: Automated Logon (autofill userid and password) using TN3270 of TCP/IP for VM or Logical Device
Hi Mike, You do understand pretty well. Normally userA is a general user with no special authority. Then some action need to be taken on a service machine. One simple way is to logon to the service machine. I can do LOGONBY or simple logon to the target machine, however, I want to simplify the process and at the same time hide the logon and password. I do know about the SECUSER capability, I would prefer to be able to do some fullscreen interaction.

Re: Automated Logon (autofill userid and password) using TN3270 of TCP/IP for VM or Logical Device
The big advantage for a SVM is that you have as much granularity over the commands it will accept, and from whom, as you want to program into it. Going open kimono via UserB is not a good idea (as others have pointed out), no matter how attractive it might sound. You won't pass the most trivial audit and will probably be job hunting real soon. I can't think of anything that *requires* full-screen. It might be a little more complicated but you can always use Xedit and coding to interact with UserB almost as if they were logged on to UserB. That's not trivial but it is doable. Once you get used to the idea of: Send some command Get a response (MSG or RDR) Send another command Get another response you'd be amazed at how natural it can become. I did a *lot* of it before I retired!

Re: A little OT z/LIINUX
May be a network configuration issue? Is the client ping'able from your PC? Check all your network configurations z/VM, vswitch and parm file and make sure they are correct. If you are using a vswitch make sure you grant guess access to the vswitch. You may be able to get a shell from 3270 session it you hit enter couple of time. If you are able to, then you could also enter some Linux commands to check. Since the 3270 is a line mode console remember NOT to enter any commands that will require interaction, example vi.

Re: A little OT z/LIINUX
The reason Linux rejects the telnet from CMS is TELNET on CMS is using port 23 and Linux is only excepting connections on port 22 for SSH you can telnet to the linux image on port 22 from CMS using the command TELNET host 22 See if you get a connection, or at least a message that the client refused connection.

Re: BookManager format softcopy
Does this mean that IBM will finally create PDFs for all of the old products that only have BOO files?

The z/VM Information Center and PDF files would still be produced. Does this create a hardship for anyone? If not, no need to speak up. If yes, details please.
