Congratulations, you're right, Frank, LOTUS NOTES is the standard here.

LOTUS NOTES must be converting it to TAR and gzipping it.

Re: How to determine SYSRES

If you have many page and spool packs, you get a lot more than you need with 
that and it does not specifically indicate the IPL device. If either the DRCT 
or PARM space is on the sysres, then Q ALLOC DRCT or Q ALLOC PARM will give you 
what you need. Q ALLOC ALL will tell you which device was IPLed; however, it is 
like Q ALLOC MAP on steroids and its specification of the IPL volume is the 
last line in the display.  

Pipe cp q alloc all | take last | cons | spec /q dasd/ 1 w-1 nw | cp | cons  
IPL NUCLEUS ACTIVE ON VOLUME VM3RES  
DASD 1FA6 CP OWNED  VM3RES   13  

The above pipe will tell you what you need to know. If there had been a second 
VM3RES, it would have been in the response to the Q DASD, but it would not have 
been CP OWNED or ATTACHED TO SYSTEM.

Re: How to determine SYSRES

CP Query CPLOAD
also tells you the volser of the IPL volume - on the first line of its 
3-line display.  But I like Richard's use of the last line returned from Q 
ALLOC ALL

Unfortunately, it does not tell you the rdev.  This is another good reason 
to never have DASD with duplicate volsers.
The HMC had the rdev of the volume used to IPL.. but that was then and 
this is now - someone could have changed the HMC since then. 

Since there CAN be more than one DASD with the same volser, you want to 
find the one with that volser in the CPOWNED list.

Extending Richard's suggestion, the following should give you the rdev of 
the volser actually IPLed, since there can't be a duplicate volser in the 
CPOWNED list and the sysres must be in the CPOWNED list.  The following 
has to run from an EXEC since it uses a variable within the pipeline.

'PIPE CP Q ALLOC ALL' ,
   '| TAKE LAST 1' ,
   '| CONSOLE' ,
   '| SPECS W6 1' ,
   '| VAR sysres' ,
   '| CP QUERY CPOWNED' ,
   '| PICK W2 == /'sysres'/' ,
   '| SPECS W2-* 1' ,
   '| CONSOLE'

 also tells you the volser of the IPL volume - on the first 
 line of its 3-line display.  But I like Richard's use of the 
 last line returned from Q ALLOC ALL
 
 Unfortunately, it does not tell you the rdev.  This is 
 another good reason to never have DASD with duplicate volsers.
 The HMC had the rdev of the volume used to IPL.. but that was 
 then and this is now - someone could have changed the HMC 
 since then. 
 
 Since there CAN be more than one DASD with the same volser, 
 you want to find the one with that volser in the CPOWNED list.
 
 Extending Richard's suggestion, the following should give you 
 the rdev of the volser actually IPLed, since there can't be a 
 duplicate volser in the CPOWNED list and the sysres must be 
 in the CPOWNED list.  The following has to run from an EXEC 
 since it uses a variable within the pipeline.

 If you have many page and spool packs, you get a lot more

 the IPL device. If either the DRCT or PARM space is on the 
 sysres, then Q ALLOC DRCT or Q ALLOC PARM will give you what 
 you need. Q ALLOC ALL will tell you which device was IPLed; 
 however, it is like Q ALLOC MAP on steroids and its

Re: How to determine SYSRES

Richard,

After further review you are right.  Two volumes with the same volser 
cannot be attached to CP.  Since the sysres is attached during IPL, it's 
the only CP-attached sysres volser that matters.

To provide the complete answer, using your Pipe (which has the advantage 
of not needing to run under rexx):

pipe cp q alloc all | take last | cons | spec /q dasd/ 1 w-1 nw | cp | 
pick w3 == /CP/ | cons

Dynamic IO Gens on boxes without z/OS?

2010-11-04 Thread Davis, Larry (National VM/VSE Capability)

Hello VM'ers.

We have new z196 boxes being installed that will have VM only and no z/OS.  
z/OS folks have been doing our i/o gens for many years.
They tell me that they can write the new IOCDS from z/OS but will be unable to 
dynamically activate it from z/OS.  POR's would be required.

Is this correct?  Is there anyway to do a dynamic gen if we want them to keep 
doing it?   VM HCD perhaps?

 There are few considerations about IPWIZARD  in the new TCPIP Program

 If any error occurs during TCPPARMS processing, TCPIP  do not start. 
Example: 
 when we define  2 sets of OSAs, and only one is available at a time 
(Disaster

 After first time of TCPIP's activation, I comment the :attach. line of 
DTCPARMS

 And the PROFILE TCPIP constructed by IPWIZARD must be changed by other, 
based 
 on model supplied (ft= STCPIP).  See Program Directory.
 My friends (and co-workers) generally don't read this manual.

IPWIZARD is not (and has never been) a TCP/IP configuration maintenance

Re: Dynamic IO Gens on boxes without z/OS?

As a minimum, you can at least issue the ACTIVATE command dynamically 
through the HMC.

z/OS is not the only way to issue the CF ACTIVATE command.

It can also be issued on the HMC.

Re: Dynamic IO Gens on boxes without z/OS?

No, here is something from the PR/SM Planning Guide from the Hardware 
Bookshelf for configuring a CHPID online dynamically:

http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/DA3A6013/CCONTENTS?SHELF=DA3416C1DN=GA22-7123-13DT=19960605055404

3.2.17.4 Dynamic I/O effects on Channel Path (Re)Configuration



   If a channel path is dynamically added to the configuration using 
dynamic
   I/O configuration, all the logical partitions in the channel path 
access
   list (for a shared channel path) or the one logical partition in the
   channel path access list (for an unshared channel path) are targeted to
   have this new channel path configured online.  The dynamic I/O
   configuration change does not bring the channel path online.


   The channel path will be configured online to the targeted logical
   partition when one of the following occurs:


   °   The system control program running in the targeted logical 
partition
   issues the appropriate reconfiguration command to configure the
   channel path online. For MVS, this would be


   CF CHP(nn),ONLINE


   °   The CHPID service language command is issued to configure the 
channel
   path online to the targeted logical partition while the logical
   partition is active.


   °   The targeted logical partition is activated.  (This includes the 
case
   of the targeted logical partition first being deactivated and then
   reactivated.)


   °   A power-on-reset is done with the IOCDS that has the new dynamic
   changes defined in it.  Subsequent to the POR, activation of the
   targeted logical partition will configure the channel path online.


   On processors that are not EMIF capable, dynamic I/O additions do not
   cause unshared channel paths to be targeted to come online to the 
owning
   logical partition.  An explicit channel path configuration command or a
   POR is needed to target and configure the channel path online.

As a minimum, you can at least issue the ACTIVATE command dynamically 
through the HMC. 

z/OS is not the only way to issue the CF ACTIVATE command. 

It can also be issued on the HMC.

VM HCD will not activate and do all the dynamic commands in VM 
environment. You can use HCD to manage the IOCP but you will have to 
perform the dynamic commands and activate the new IOCP

Subject: Dynamic IO Gens on boxes without z/OS?

Hello VM'ers.

We have new z196 boxes being installed that will have VM only and no z/OS. 
 z/OS folks have been doing our i/o gens for many years.
They tell me that they can write the new IOCDS from z/OS but will be 
unable to dynamically activate it from z/OS.  POR's would be required.

Is this correct?  Is there anyway to do a dynamic gen if we want them to 
keep doing it?   VM HCD perhaps?

Re: IPWIZARD

Leon,
I,m not sure if it is the same problem I saw.
The msg isn't clear:

DTCIPW2521E Insufficient virtual addresses available
Explanation: IPWIZARD requires that there be enough contiguous virtual
addresses available for all of the real addresses used by the device being
configured.
System Action: Command processing stops.
User Response: Free some virtual devices, or reallocate them such that
there are a sufficient number of contiguous addresses available for the
device being configured.

My solution, when I saw it: LOGOFF/LOGON and tryed again.

Hi all, I’am busy installing z/VM 5.4 for the first time and when trying to
perform the IPWIZARD function I get the following error: DTCPIPW2521E
Insufficient virtual addresses available. Anybody got an idea on how to
solve this.

But I saw people using IPWIZARD to do maintenance on TCPIP production...

 There are few considerations about IPWIZARD  in the new TCPIP Program

 If any error occurs during TCPPARMS processing, TCPIP  do not start.
Example:
 when we define  2 sets of OSAs, and only one is available at a time
(Disaster
 Recovery setup).
 After first time of TCPIP's activation, I comment the :attach. line of
DTCPARMS
 and put DEDICATEs on directory. No more problems.
 And the PROFILE TCPIP constructed by IPWIZARD must be changed by other,
based
 on model supplied (ft= STCPIP).  See Program Directory.
 My friends (and co-workers) generally don't read this manual.

IPWIZARD is not (and has never been) a TCP/IP configuration maintenance
tool.  Is is for use only during initial configuration after the z/VM

Re: Dynamic IO Gens on boxes without z/OS?

Yes, really nice.  I like CBDSACT in Step 4 below.  It is functionally 
equivalent to the z/OS command.

1. Use the HCD ISPF dialog to create a new work IODF based on your current
production IODF as described in the z/OS HCD User's Guide. Continue to use
the HCD dialog to apply your configuration changes to the work IODF.
2. Build the production IODF under z/OS HCD: From the Primary Task 
Selection
Panel, select 2. Activate or process configuration data, then select 1. 
Build
production I/O definition file.
3. Transfer the production IODF to z/VM. To receive it on z/VM, use the 
CMS
RECEIVE command or the CBDSIMP REXX utility.
4. Activate the new configuration using the CBDSACT REXX utility with the
TEST option first and verify these are the changes you want. Then issue 
the
CBDSACT REXX utility without the TEST option to perform the dynamic I/O
changes.
5. Update either the SYSTEM CONFIG file and the PARM disk or both. Logon 
to
the user ID MAINT and copy the PRODIODF file to the PARM disk (CF1) and
update the SYSTEM CONFIG file if you have the IODF file specified. Keep 
the
old PRODIODF file on the disk as well. Thus, if the system is IPLed, it 
will
pick up the latest production IODF.
6. Generate an IOCDS from the production IODF using the REXX utility
CBDSIOCP. This will write out the IOCDS for next IML.

Re: Dynamic IO Gens on boxes without z/OS?

2010-11-04 Thread Jerry Whitteridge

If you are trying to have the z/OS group maintain the IODF/IOCDS and write it 
out to be then dynamically activated from z/VM the problem will be that the 
tokens generated by z/OS and z/VM are different. You can write the IOCDS 
remotely but z/VM will not activate an IODF/IOCDS generated from z/OS as far as 
I know.

I've been able to avoid this problem as none of my boxes that have z/VM without 
z/OS.

This option is different than Clear_Tdisk?


 User Group Number - WAV201009
 Document Status - Recognized
 Title - Provide DSE option for CP temp disks
 IBM agrees with the request and a solution appears to be a desirable
 objective. A solution however may not presently appear feasible or
 implementable. No IBM commitment is made or implied as to the eventual
 delivery of an acceptable solution.

From CP Planning and Admin:

Clearing Temporary Disk Space
In some previous VM systems, CP cleared only cylinder 0, track 0, of a
temporary
disk before allocating temporary disk space. As a result, data owned by the
previous user was available to the current user of the temporary disk. This
created
a data integrity exposure. With z/VM, temporary disk space can be
optionally
cleared completely to avoid this integrity exposure.
To eliminate user access to sensitive data remaining on a temporary disk,
use the
CLEAR_TDISK operand on the FEATURES system configuration file statement or
the SYSCLR operand of the SYSRES macroinstruction to specify whether
temporary disk space is to be cleared. If space is to be cleared, it is
cleared at the
following times:
- at IPL time,
- when CP volumes that contain temporary disk space are attached to the
system,
or
- when a temporary disk is detached from a user

Re: Dynamic IO Gens on boxes without z/OS?

Marcy:

The CBDSACT process is definitely the way to go, but if you really want to
know what is going on under the covers, check out the details of CP SET
IOCDS ACTIVE command below and the Lock Step Philosophy writeup from the
Infocenter which follows it below:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/zvm/v5r4/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.zvm.v54.hcpe2/usdynio.htm

SET IOCDS_ACTIVE

z/VM V5R4.0 CP Commands and Utilities Reference
SC24-6081-07

(1)
-Set--IOCDS_active---+-An-+--
'-Bn-'

Notes:
You must specify one IOCDS file in the range A0 through A5 or B0 through
B5.
Authorization

Privilege Class: B

Purpose

Use SET IOCDS_ACTIVE to change the input/output configuration data set
(IOCDS) file that the processor will use during the next power-on reset
(POR).

Operands

An
Bn
is the file type of the IOCDS file that you want the processor to use
during the next POR. The variable n is a decimal number between 0 and 5.
Usage Notes

Once you issue the SET IOCDS_ACTIVE command to change the active IOCDS
file, the SE automatically puts the new IOCDS file in write-protect mode
for you. This means that no one can make changes to the active IOCDS file.

If the current hardware configuration does not match the IOCDS file that
you specify, CP issues error message HCP6814E and terminates command
processing.
Whenever you issue one of the following dynamic I/O commands: DEFINE
CHPID DEFINE PATH
DELETE CHPID DELETE PATH
MODIFY CHPID MODIFY PATH

DEFINE CU DEFINE CNTLUNIT
DELETE CU DELETE CNTLUNIT
MODIFY CU MODIFY CNTLUNIT

DEFINE DEVICE DEFINE IODEVICE
DELETE DEVICE DELETE IODEVICE
MODIFY DEVICE MODIFY IODEVICE

CP puts you in configuration mode, processes the dynamic I/O command, and
then takes you out of configuration mode.

Before you can use any I/O devices, you must include those devices in the
hardware's and software's view of the I/O configuration.
The software creates its view of the I/O configuration at initialization
either by sensing the I/O device, by reading RDEVICE statements in the
system configuration file, or some combination thereof. After
initialization, you can change the software's view of the I/O
configuration using the SET RDEVICE command (topic SET RDEVICE) or the
dynamic I/O commands listed in Usage Note 3.

The hardware creates its view of the I/O configuration at power-on reset
(POR) time. The I/O configuration is defined in the I/O configuration
program (IOCP) source file that is stored on a user's minidisk (or SFS
directory). You run the IOCP utility against the IOCP source file to
create an I/O configuration data set (IOCDS) file that is stored on the
support element (SE) hard disk. You can have multiple IOCDS files stored
on the SE hard disk. At power-on reset time, you choose the IOCDS file
that you want to use. The specified IOCDS file is copied to the hardware
system area (HSA) storage and becomes the active hardware I/O
configuration. Thus, there are 2 parts to the hardware's view of the I/O
configuration: the active IOCDS file in HSA storage and the IOCDS file on
the SE hard disk.

After the machine is up and running, you can change the hardware's view of
the active I/O configuration using the dynamic I/O commands listed in
Usage Note 3. However, these commands only change the active I/O
configuration in the HSA. They do not change the IOCDS file on the SE hard
disk.

To change the IOCDS file on the SE hard disk, you must:

Update the IOCP source file.
Run the IOCP utility (topic IOCP)against the updated IOCP file. Specify
all options you normally specify including WRTxx (to write the newly
generated IOCDS file to the SE hard disk) and DYN (to define the hardware
configuration token). If the IOCP utility runs without errors, it
downloads the new IOCDS file to the SE hard disk.
Issue the SET IOCDS_ACTIVE command to make the new IOCDS file the active
file that the processor will use during the next power-on reset (POR).
Responses

Response 1:

To change the active IOCDS file to A3, enter the following:

set iocds_active a3
The active IOCDS file is now A3

The z/VM manual I/O Configuration contains a lot of information about 
HCD and dynamic I/O.  I believe the z/OS crew can create and maintain an 
IODF for the VM CEC and export it.  You then import it into HCD on VM and 
it will hold the new IODF and the old one up to the light, looking for the 

delta.  It will issue dynamic I/O commands to enable those changes.

But, admittedly, I don't know as much about HCD as I should.  :-)

FTP Question.

We have a process that transfers thousands of files from a Linux guest in one 
LPAR to a CMS file in another. The process, following a successful logon, goes 
like this:

Cd dir1
Mget *.* (replace
Cd dir2
Mget * * (replace
Cd dir3
Mget * * (replace

The entire process is done via VMFTP. It takes a long time to transfer all of 
the files. I read somewhere that a new data path is created for each file. This 
appears to be where the time is being spent. Is there any was to cut down on or 
eliminate this time? It would seem to me to be much more efficient if all of 
the data were transferred over the same path without all of the reconnecting.

In this case, the target disk is a large V-disk that has nothing on it. The 
files get molested and moved to a more permanent residence after all have been 
obtained.

Don't we get Alan service hours as part of a z196 purchase or something? (Buy 3

You're certainly welcome to come play.
