Once you've selected an LPAR on the HMC, one of the Recovery actions will 
be "Integrated 3270 Console".  Open it up and you'll get a CP logo.  If 
you want it to be the operator's console at IPL, then you need to have the 
window open BEFORE you IPL.  If you don't have SYSTEM_3270 in your 
OPERATOR_CONSOLES statement in SYSTEM CONFIG, then you'll need to specify 
a console of CONSSYSG in the loadparm.

Don't use the "Configure 3270 Sessions" app.  That's for creating telnet 
sessions.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter. 

Meeting Agenda: 
9:00 AM “ISV Update” – Linux on System z 
 
Andrew D. Schmidt will provide information relating to availability of ISV 
applications  on Linux for System z, and where to find information on what 
applications are available.  
Additionally, Andrew will overview the various IBM enabling/porting programs 
that ISVs can use.  Knowledge of these programs allow you, the end user, to be 
able to understand how IBM can help  ISVs support your needed applications on 
the System z platform

Vendor (ISV) Program Manager. 

10:30 AM    Coffee Break 

11:00 AM    CA z/VM Products Implement VMSES/E 

CA has a history of acquiring products and along with that, installation and 
service methods.  When every vendor has its own method and some companies like 
CA have multiple methods, it can be a  burden  to learn and remember all the 
different procedures  to install, upgrade and service products.  To help 
simplify matters, CA is implementing IBM VMSES/E as the method to be used to 
install, upgrade and service  z/VM system products.   Brian Jagos will give an 
overview of how CA ultimately decided to use VMSES/E and how it works with CA 
products. 
 
The speaker will be Brian Jagos of CA.

1:15 PM  Administration and Vendor Announcements 

1:30 PM Linux on z Update 
 
The speaker will present a brief update of recent developments in the Linux 
under z/VM area. 
 
The speaker will be Paul Augustyniak of the IBM Corporation. 

1:45 PM Coming Releases of CA VM Tools and Future Roadmap 
 
CA remains committed to delivering and enhancing products for securing and 
managing z/VM systems.  Some changes further CA’s Mainframe  2.0 strategy for 
simplifying product management itself, some help users take advantage of 
technical advances in the operating system and available hardware, and others 
address customer requests for features and enhancements.  Brian Jagos will give 
 a glimpse of z/VM product enhancements coming soon, and also shares CA’s 
roadmap for longer-term features and enhancements.

The speaker will be Brian Jagos of CA. 

3:00 PM Coffee Break and Prize Drawing 

3:30 PM Managing the Mainframe: The Ultimate Private Cloud
 
Mainframers have been using virtual machines, time-sharing, and managing 
multitenancy systems for years. Add to this the flexibility of the new 
zEnterprise hybrid architecture, and you have the hardware infrastructure for 
the ultimate private cloud.  We at CA Technologies would like to engage you on 
our strategic thoughts on Cloud Computing and zEnterprise and how they 
intersect to help you leverage your mainframe assets in complex enterprise 
integration initiatives – to lower costs, while continuing to offer the highest 
quality of service. See how innovative cloud solutions such as CA 3Tera 
AppLogic can help you simplify application composition, deployment and 
integration across your z/VM, Linux on System z, z/OS systems and distributed 
systems.

The speaker will be Scott Fagen, CA Technologies, Distinguished Engineer.

The 9672 has an integrated 3270 console (one per LPAR), but it does not 
have the OSA-Integrated Communications Console (OSA-ICC), which is a 
closer match to the 3270 support in the Multiprise.

Hello All,

I've been a long time subscriber to this list but first time to ask a 
question.  We've acquired a used 9672-T26 mainframe to run VM workload. 

Currently we have 7060-H70.  Can the 9872 HMC be configured to act as a 

local 3270 terminal to serve as VM console just like 7060?  

Thanks everyone for any info.

Maybe**, on standard CPs of course.  :-)  But why would you put z/VM 5.4 
on a z10?  Use z/VM 6.1 instead. If they bought z/VM V5 and have S&S, 
they're entitled to z/VM V6.

z/VM, yes...with the normal additional PTFs (ICKDSF, EREP and IOCP).
VSE/ESA 2.2it depends.

If you already have the "migration apar" that is unsupported, then it should 
work on a z/10.  VSE/ESA 2.2 will not IPL on a z/890 or better due to the dual 
channel sets introduced in that machine.  The APAR doesn't cause 2.2 to support 
it, it just causes it to ignore it .  VM doesn't help in this case (allowing

Sounds like you have a CP READ up.  Q NAMES is a CP command; Q DISK is a CMS
command.  Try typing a B (Begin).

Hi

 

I have something set wrong for my userid on this one LPAR and for the life
can't see it. 

 

When I issue a basic command such as Q DISK I get the following:

 

12:14:28 q disk  

12:14:28 HCPCQV003E Invalid option - DISK

 

 

I can do like the Q N command and get response no problem. I remember having
this issue in once before but can't remember what I did to fix it up. Any
help would be great!

 

Thanks

2011-04-06 Thread Les Koehler
You can do it IF you're willing to change the file itself 
just to display it. Then, of course, you can't make text 
changes and save it in its original form. There are better 
tools available if that's what you want to do.

Tom, the best way is a practice, just try to explore "how it works". As
example you can use existing highlights, like:

*help perfkit tasks*

and compare the output and source file: PERFKIT HELPTASK.
The keyword is QUERY CTLCHAR.

Re: XEDIT question

Here's an example of setting up attributes for display:

 

esc="FF"x;scc esc "ESC"

 !._PGN= esc"P";scc "P   PROTECT GREEN   NONE"  

 !._PGR= esc"R";scc "R   PROTECT GREEN   REVVIDEO"  

 !._PWN= esc"W";scc "W   PROTECT WHITE   NONE"  

 !._PBN= esc"B";scc "B   PROTECT BLUENONE"  

 !._NWN= esc"E";scc "E NOPROTECT WHITE   NONE"  

 !._NRN= esc"*";scc "* NOPROTECT RED NONE"  

 !._NdN= esc"1";scc "1 NOPROTECT DEFAULT NONE"  

 !._NGN= esc"2";scc "2 NOPROTECT GREEN   NONE"  

 !._PdNI=esc"D";scc "D   PROTECT DEFAULT NONE INVISIBLE"

 

(I use !. as global prefix...i.e. PROCEDURE EXPOSE !.)

 

Then, here I setup a PF key display (for the bottom of the screen):

 

!._MMTail.1=!._PGN"PF:"||,   

 " 1"!._PGR"HELP"!._PGN||,

 " 2"!._PGR"Refresh "!._PGN||,

 " 3"!._PGR"QUIT"!._PGN||,

 " 4"!._PGR"Sort+Cat"!._PGN||,

 " 5"!._PGR"Sort+Des"!._PGN||,

 " 6"!._PGR""!._PGN   

 !._MMTail.2=!._PGN"   "||,   

 " 7"!._PGR"Backward"!._PGN||,

 " 8"!._PGR"Forward "!._PGN||,

 " 9"!._PGR"Toggle  "!._PGN||,

 "10"!._PGR"Sort+#  "!._PGN||,

 "11"!._PGR"View"!._PGN||,

 "12"!._PGR"Sort-Blk"!._PGN   

 

Then you simply "SET RESERVED n" on the line you wish to display the
information.

 

Now, if the file is small enough, you can simply put the entire file
into STEM variables, then it's easy to break it up  (PARSE VAR vblname
field1 n ...)

Re: z/VM & z/OS sharing same DASD

Thank you all for the informed responses, they've been most helpful.

As we don't have any need for the volumes of either OS to be online to 
each other I will proceed with a recommendation to segregate the z/VM 
volumes on to their own LCU(s).

When two disjoint entities have access to the same resources, there are 
mountains that must be scaled.  As others have noted, giving Entity One 
access to the resources managed by Entity Two is a decision that you need 
to *explicitly* make.  Would you do it on other platforms?  Is there a 
policy?  Do you need an approved waiver?  A.k.a "Get Out of Jail Free 
card."

I ran across a problem when z/OS had access to z/VM dasd, and a *tape* 
volser matched one of the z/VM *dasd* volsers.  The tape mount on z/OS 
failed. I was using the approved dasd naming convention - the Keepers of 
the Convention had overlooked this issue.  The MVS folks said, "Just 
relabel all your disk volumes."  I scoffed in their general direction and 
told them to take VM dasd offline to MVS.  But at some point the issue has 
to be resolved because z/OS will be taking dasd backups of the z/VM 
system, which is why it is shared.

Now, on to Hollywood.  Wednesday nights at 9pm on the CBC (Chuckie 
Broadcasting System).   This episode of "CSI: IT" opens with a VM systems 
programmer sitting in a jail cell.  We can tell he's a sysprog, btw, 
because the guards keep rolling shiny balls in front of the cell, stopping 
the sysprog in his tracks.  (A bit of opening inside-joke humor while the 
intro credits roll by.)   As we watch, we find that:

1. An MVS application is running, containing financial and personal 
information of millions of people.  Priceless.
(exciting, huh?)
2. A call from a throwaway cell phone (natch, don't bother checking) comes 
into the CEO's office demanding $500M for the "return" of the above data 
we now realize has been stolen.   The voice is unfamiliar, but we 
recognize an MVS accent.  I think it's the way the caller said "dataset" 
as all one word.  [Obviously the story writer had been in the biz at some 
point.]
3. There is a mad scramble to study the MVS SMF records.  Nothing is 
found.  Squeaky clean.
4. The Class A IT Forensics team (night shift) is called in. [IT forensics 
are best done at night, in the dark with the world's smallest flashlight.]
5. They discover shared dasd.  Mangement says, "Is that a problem, 
Inspector?"
(go to commercial for some new IT Security Software)
6. We "learn" that VM access to the dasd is not mediated by MVS security 
controls (duh)
7. We "discover" that the jailed sysprog had unlimited power on VM (yawn 
... duh x 2)
(wow...20 more minutes to solve the crime!)
8. Everyone involved gets an attorney and stops talking.  (De rigeur for 
all police dramas)
9. CSIs establish Means and Opportunity of the hapless sysprog.
10. They lean on the sysprog's gum-chewing ex-girlfriend and find that the 
sysprog DID make some drunken statement at a party about the way 
Management treated him on his last appraisal.  They learn from another 
ex-girlfriend that the sysprog spent 15 years working on MVS.  They learn 
from his mother that "he was always a quiet boy; just played his video 
games."
11. Raising suspicions further, the sysprog did NOT advise Management of 
the risks of such a configuration.
(go to commercial for platform-specific backup/restore software)

And now you're caught up.  You'll have to watch the rest of the episode to 
find out what happens next.   It's not what you think
