When you log on, #CP Q V DASD and verify the correct devices are attached at the addresses you think they should be.

Re: IPL the new z/VM 5.4 System
The addresses are not there. If I do the attach command: attach FEA * and issue the #CP Q V DASD, I see: DASD 0FEA ON DASD 0FEA R/W 540RES SUBCHANNEL = 000C is this correct? It doesn't look like the others... Looks good to me. The difference is the others are minidisks and these DASD are dedicated/attached. Ed Zell Illinois Mutual Life (309) 636-0107 .

Re: IPL the new z/VM 5.4 System
That's what you want to see -- the others are minidisks on volumes attached to the 1st level system. This one (FEA) is attached to 'you'. You want to attach all the others the same way. You will either need to ATTACH them - or use a DEDICATE FEA FEA in the directory entry for your 2nd level guest so it happens when your guest is logged in.

Re: VSWITCH
I realize that this is a year old but I am trying to get a definitive answer about the earliest release of z/OS that will successfully use a VSWITCH as a guest. We sometimes have to resurrect an old z/OS release to solve a customer issue. I have been successful with z/OS 1.4 but now we have a z/OS 1.3 issue and I can not get z/OS 1.3 to work with a VSWITCH. I was able to build a hipersocket VLAN and got the z/OS guest to work usi ng that but am curious about the minimum level of z/OS that works with a VSWITCH. Our VM host is at z/VM 5.4 at RSU 1003 so it is current in so f ar as what can be run on a z/9 processor. Thanks, Rob
Re: VSWITCH
It depends on the microcode on your z/9 processor. Prior to a microcode upgrade, we were able to run OS/390 2.10 under z/VM. After the microcode upgrade, OS/390 2.10 would run very slowly under z/VM. -Original Message- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU] On Behalf Of Rob Holtz Sent: Friday, February 25, 2011 11:41 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: VSWITCH I realize that this is a year old but I am trying to get a definitive answer about the earliest release of z/OS that will successfully use a VSWITCH as a guest.

DFSMS and zVM
Hello I was checking how z/vm 5.4 supports 3592-E05 (TS1120) installed into a library 3577-L5U. I have a 3592-C06 ficon attachment to connect z10 to tape drive. I can load, write, read and unload cartridge using 3577-L5U operator panel. I was unable to find out how to tell to z/vm to pick up cartridge into slot, move it to drive 1 (for example) or how to automate process to return cartridge from tape drive to slot after operation (read/write) was finished. Cartridge unload, but I need to use operator panel to move it from drive to slot library. Thanks for all comments. -- Carlos Bodra IBM zSeries Certified Specialist Sao Paulo - Brazil
Need advice on moving a Linux guest from one z/VM LPAR to another
Hi members of the outstanding z/VM community! I need advice or a pointer to documentation (if available? presentations, official publications, Redbooks...) on how to move a Linux guest from one z/VM LPAR to another. Now, I know this could probably be pieced together from an assortment of z/VM product documentation or multiple Redbooks, but I am hoping someone in this community has done this before. Even a set of high-level steps would prove invaluable. Does anyone have any insight? z/VM 6.1, SLES 11, all FICON. Thanks in advance and I hope everyone has a great weekend. Michael J.

If you don't have one, then you write your own by setting up DFSMS RMS and calling the provided CSL routines to manage the drive or by using the DFSMSRM commands. See Chapters 6 and 7 of the DFSMS Removable Media Services book. Also, make sure you are up to date on service. DFSMS hasn't been refreshed in a looong time, so all newer device support has been delivered via PTF.

Re: Need advice on moving a Linux guest from one z/VM LPAR to another
Not sure I quite follow what you're asking. If it's a permanent move (ie shut it down here, start it up there), then you use DDR to copy the disks holding the guest to tape (or disk if you have CMSDDR), create a matching userid on the other LPAR and use DDR to restore the tape copy to disk. You'll need to log into the console of the virtual machine, make any temporary changes to networking using ifconfig and route to get network access to the new copy, and then use your favorite system management tool to make the network changes permanent. The copy step looks something like this (disk at 150, tape at 181): DDR SYSPRINT CONS INPUT 150 3390 OUTPUT 181 3490 COPY ALL blank line Do this for each minidisk/volume attached to the Linux guest. SHUT IT DOWN before copying it or you won't get a usable copy. Now if you're trying to do it dynamically, that's a larger problem involving CSE and a bunch of stuff. Too big for a note like this. Can you explain further what you're trying to do? -- db From: Michael Forte mjfo...@us.ibm.commailto:mjfo...@us.ibm.com Reply-To: The IBM z/VM Operating System IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDUmailto:IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2011 17:48:06 -0600 To: The IBM z/VM Operating System IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDUmailto:IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Need advice on moving a Linux guest from one z/VM LPAR to another Hi members of the outstanding z/VM community!
