Re: Temp SFS environment
Scott My VM is used as hypervisor for DR needs and defined with minimal dasd. I was looking for a way to transfer big files without adding perm or temp dasd space and avoid to increase time of backup... And we are waiting for a new dasd array coming in end of may. All the rest of free space is used to migrate 3380 to 3390. Alain Envoyé de mon iPhone Le 16 mars 2011 à 23:12, "Wandschneider, Scott" a écrit : > My curious mind wants me to ask. . .

Re: Temp SFS environment
I am not sure about this, but I think it might be that the mdisks get detached and re-linked, which would kill your SFS server if they were TDISK. See what response you get to: #cp q v 301-305 immediately after the failure. The reason I think I remember this is that years ago I once tried to define the mdisks as slightly different addresses than the ones in the CP directory (#CP DEF B301 301), and ran into problems. IIRC the server wanted to be able to LINK to the addresses I had given it.

Re: RSU, PSP - which do I choose?
At some point, you may want to consider creating a 2nd level VM just for maintenance like this. Once your VM system is deployed, you never want to apply maintenance to it directly, not even a PTF, without doing a "smoke test" first at level 2. David Boyes Sent by: The IBM z/VM Operating System 03/10/2011 05:43 PM Please respond to The IBM z/VM Operating System To IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU cc Subject Re: RSU, PSP - which do I choose? Order PTF UV97540 and you will got lastest RSU for z/VM 5.4. (1008) This is good advice and gets you most of the way. Since RSUs are collections of recommended service made at a specific point in time, make sure you also order the PSP bucket for that RSU to catch anything after the RSU date that wasn’t included on the RSU. Background: What you’re doing is three things: installing the base code, using the RSU to jump forward in time and apply all the service from the base up to the RSU date in one operation, and then layer any fixes that have been made after the RSU was closed. You’ve gotten the base code installed, and (if you want) you can use the RSU that you have to practice installing the RSU (when you get the new stacked RSU and PSP tapes, the SERVICE tool will figure out what you have already applied and just add the new stuff. Mother’s Rules of Thumb: 1) Never mix IBM stuff and your stuff. 2) Always take a backup of your entire MAINT id BEFORE you THINK about applying service 3) Cupcakes get you faster responses to your service problems. 8-) I’d strongly encourage you to just do a SERVICE ALL with the RSU and let the automated stuff process the service. If you aren’t using CMS for anything except maintaining the system, it does a pretty good job, and anything it can’t handle, you’re going to need to call IBM for help anyway. The VM service tools are heap big magic even for us oldtimers.

Re: Adding CP OWNED SLOTS
No, adding empty slots requires an IPL of z/VM It has been suggested to define all 255 slots directly, it doesn't cost much. And, the good news is that you don't even need to code the 255 statements in SYSTEM CONFIG as RESERVED, just code those to which a pack is associated and one with number 255.

Re: Old codger question: Can SFS be networked across systems?
Les -- About the authentication nightmare part, the same criticism is frequently nailed on NFS in Unix/Linux land. The problem there is the same: You have placed a certain amount of admin trust in the file sharing peer systems. If you don't trust the sysadmin of an NFS client, don't export the content to his machines. (There are various ways people have tried to close the gap in NFS, wth varying results and varied satisfaction, all very confusing.) Similarly, if you don't trust the sysadmin of the other VM system(s), don't play SFS with them. Rob mentions username mapping with IPGATE. They do the same thing in NFS, but not quite as open-ended.

Re: Tape drives : MVS & VM
We just reactivate the same iodef in all our mvs lpar. We suppose there was a out of sync for one of them plus an edt problem. Now all is working fine. Just have to wait for the next IPLs to validate if we are in a stable state.

Re: Question to CMS plumbers (PIPE)
There is another listserver devoted to specifically to CMS-Pipelines: cms-pipeli...@vm.marist.edu you can subscribe to that list by sending to: lists...@vm.marist.edu the test of message should contain: SUBSCRIBE CMS-PIPELINES firstname lastname But this list is a pretty good place to start. As Kris said, the CMS/TSO Pipelines offering was from IBM Denmark. You may want to subscribe to and ask the same question on the cms-pipeli...@vm.marist.edu forum, since the Piper watches that list very closely. If you are trying to process messages from the z/OS system, then the IBM product NETVIEW has some level of Pipelines within it. Netview's pipes will look familiar to CMS pipers, but there are significant differences, and NETVIEW-specific stages. It would be enlightening to know more about the roots of in Netview, and how back-leveled it is from those roots. It would also be enlightening to understand why there is no direct Pipe command in TSO - resulting such a tremendous productivity loss for TSO users!

Re: Question to CMS plumbers (PIPE)
There used to be an offering of IBM Denmark to deliver Pipelines to a z/OS customer. And, there was an era where (some level of) Pipelines was included in the z/OS product "Batch Pipe Works". But, I don't know about the current status. 2011/3/16 Florian Bilek > Dear all, > > Maybe it is the wrong forum but I do have a z/OS related question: > > In the documentation of the CMS pipelines there is alwas a reference that > it supports TSO z/OS as well. > However I am not able to find a clear indication if this is still the case > or it is mentioned only for historical reasons. > I would like to ask if there exists a HOWTO to get pipleines working under > TSO/REXX. z/OS 1.11 > Does anybody has more concrete information about this? > > Thank you very much in advance. > > -- > Best regards > > Florian > -- Kris Buelens, IBM Belgium, VM customer support

Re: "Social Security Confronts IT Obsolescence"
'Twas very helpful of the article to bring these point out, as well as the actual percentages of watts and BTUs related to mainframe gear and non-mainframe gear including trend analysis. Say, you don't suppose those data centers were were designed to house all that Internetwork stuff, do you? Thank God the article made all these facts obvious for any possible readers not so familiar with IT at that scale. Hmmm... I wonder if any corporate jets are buried in the "mainframe" budget... Naw, this operation could not likely get away with something like that for very long at all.

Re: moving members to a z/OS system
When we had to do this I wrote my own "nifty" exec TMVS (To-MVS) which uses the VMFTP package. You are welcome to share it. I haven't looked at it in a long time, but IIRC it supports PDS and sequential files. (I don't know if PDS/E would require any changes).
