Dave,

That is a good idea, here are some more 

The REXX Handbook, VM/CMS concepts and facilities, VM & CMS performance, 
The VM/ESA users handbook, and The VM/ESA systems handbook

For Rexx, I would commend Mike Cowlishaw?s  The Rexx Language, but you may 
find it hard to get.  Amazon.com just has a facsimile at nearly 68USD.  I 
don?t have Howard Fosdick?s Programmer?s Reference, but the bits I 
inspected online look good.

 All,
We are going to start training an applications programmer in the 
VM/CMS environment. (He will be programming in REXX and Nomad running 
under VM) I am looking for some basic training material as we have never 
done a class nor participated in a class in VM/CMS.
I am thinking an overview of the operating system along with some of the 
history behind it, XEDIT, basic CMS Commands, basic CP Commands, and REXX. 
Would anyone be willing to share some training material or point me to 
some? I do have access to some of the manuals but I was hoping to find a 
combined document to start with.
 
Thank you all in advance?

Hi David,

  There used to be a CMS Primer and an XEDIT Primer that were part
  of the VM library from IBM. We used parts of those books to do our
  initial training for new mainframe developers.  I don't know if they
  still exist or not, but they covered most of what you are looking for.

David,
Nielsen has (had?) some excellent Rexx programmers here in Tampa but they had no 
working experience with VM/CMS, and that's one of the most important things for 
an Application Programmer (speaking from all my experience as one for IBM).


Drop me a private note if you'd like to talk.

David,

Look at this WEB page maintained by the good people at IBM Endicott 

http://www.vm.ibm.com/education/ 

It has IBM education AND other companies that provide VM education in CMS 
, REXX, CP, and LINUX 

Education from one day classes to week long classes

good luck

Re: Need advice on moving a Linux guest from one z/VM LPAR to another

2011-02-28 Thread RPN01 
It really depends on how much planning you¹ve done beforehand.

We have our LPARs set up so that they share DASD, share the same CP
Directory, and are on the same TCP/IP subnet, so here, it¹s just a matter of
bringing the userid down on one z/VM system, and bringing it up on the
other. It¹s really a 10 minute downtime or less.

Otherwise, you¹ll have to be sure the image is down in the one LPAR, copy
the DASD from the first system to the second, bring up the Linux system in
the second LPAR, change the IP address(es) in the image to match the new
subnet, plumb up the new world-wide names for any FCP disk being used...
There are several things that can change when moving from one system to
another. You¹ll need to do some careful planning.

If you could post your configurations (old and new), I think people could
better point out the pitfalls you¹re likely to run into.
