New IODF online
We keep our IODF on the z/OS side. We just created and activated a new one with new devices that I need on VM. How do I tell VM to find these new devices without a reboot? We add some new IQD devices for hypersockets at chpid 80, control unit 7200, logical unit 7200.

z10 capacity number?
We just moved our remaining LPAR over to a new z10. Now, some of our z/OS people are updating their licenses on their products to reflect the new serial number, etc. However, they are being asked for the new mainframe's capacity number. I've never heard of that before. They are being told to run: d m=cpu from z/OS to get the number. However, since all of our z/OS systems are guests, I have no idea if the info being returned is accurate. Is there an equivelent in z/VM? I found the query capability command but am not sure if it is the same thing. Martha

Re: z10 capacity number?
I don't run z/OS under z/VM so I don't know what the display might look like. From a pure z/OS display output from the D M=CPU command you should see something like the following two lines. CPC ND = 002097.E12.IBM.02.0005F415 CPC SI = 2097.504.IBM.02.0005F415 The number in the CPC SI line is what I call the software model. It is the number that most software vendors want to see. So in my case the hardware model is a 2097-E12 but the software model is a 2097-504.

Re: z10 capacity number?
I think you're right on that, Paul; the CPC SI line is supposed to be the output from the STSI instruction, and I think that 504 is the model capacity identifier. We run a 2096-S07 as an S04, and D M=CPU on our system gives: CPC SI= 2096.S04.IBM.02.000cpuid Model: S07 From what I've seen, z/OS will show whatever information was given in his directory entry as the CPUID, but will show the real information for those other values.

As you say, you cannot change the machine type and model. The billing model for z/OS guests depends on the support by the sw vendor. When z/OS is running as a guest, the interfaces used by apps and/or SCRT to determine the capacity of the guest are adjusted by CP based on a variety of factors. Of course, if the sw is not licensed for subcapacity applications, you will have to work it out with the sw vendor, since I doubt you want to pay full model capacity charges for each guest!

HIPERSOCKETS Not Working
Hello list. We are attempting to route some Linux traffic over HiperSockets that we have defined. The traffic flows in some directions but not all. Here is part of an email from the mainframe networking folks the describes the problem... We have hipersockets installed in all z/OS LPARS and in the z/VM LPAR. We have also installed it in two z/Linux guests. (utlz0002 and utlz0003). The z/OS LAPRS and the z/VM LPAR can now communicate to each other over the hipersocket links without errors. The z/OS LAPRS and the z/VM LPAR cannot communicate with the z/Linux guests. . The z/Linux guests can communicate with each other over the hipersocket link. The z/Linux guests can also communicate with the z/OS LAPRS and the z/VM LPAR over the hipersocket link. Symptom: A tcpdump from the z/Linux guest shows that a ping from a z/OS LPAR does arrive from the hipersocket link however no response to the ping was sent. Any help would be appreciated.

The HiperSocket is working just fine, as demonstrated by your TCPDUMP. It's a routing problem. It's ALWAYS a routing problem. Look at the Linux guest's routing table to see where that packet is going. Ensure that z/OS and the Linux guest are using the same subnet mask and MTU size on their HiperSocket connection. When in doubt, draw your networks on a piece of paper and label them with IP addresses and subnet masks. It will quickly become apparent if you've got your virtual wires crossed.

Re: z196 lb4ul
Look out for PORT number depending on the type of OSA cards you have access to. If your OSA connections are on PORT 1 of the OSA channel you will need to make changes to cover that. Our normal TCPIP stack was put on PORT 0 so no changes, but our VSWITCH connections ran on PORT 1 so we had to make changes to the VSWITCH definitions.
