Re: Dirmaint : cards ordre
Yes Dave i mean that. I tested from what i found in the doc cards order. I put a account card before a include and dirmaint did not validate this order. I didn't find in the doc a more fine sequence card explanation... Alain Envoyé de mon iPhone Le 8 avr. 2011 à 00:14, Dave Jones d...@vsoft-software.com a écrit : Hi, Alan. I'm not sure I understand your question.are you asking how long it would take to merge a working, say 5.3, USER DIRECT file, with a number of service and end user virtual machines defined, with a newly installed z/VM 5.4 USER DIRECT file?

The order in which the directory statements for a given user entry in the USER DIRECT file must appear is given in the CP Planning and Administration publication, Chapter 17. The *DVHOPT statement is an artifact used by DIRMAINT, and is ignored by the DIRECTXA command. As such, it's not really a part of the user directory entry.

DIRMAINT question regarding DASD
Hi All. Just noticed something when we did a DIRM FREEXT to see what free extents were and we got this on one of our systems: VOLUME DEVTYPE -- FREE EXTENTS --- $$ 3380 START= 1 AVAIL= 500 $$ 3380 START= 503 AVAIL= 382 VM1L0A 3390 START= 1 AVAIL= 1112 VM1L06 3390 START= 1 AVAIL= 1112 VM1L07 3390 START= 1 AVAIL= 1112 VM1L08 3390 START= 1 AVAIL= 1112 VM1L09 3390 START= 1 AVAIL= 1112 VM2K01 3390-03 START= 1 AVAIL= 3338 VM2K02 3390-03 START= 1 AVAIL= 3338 VM2K03 3390-03 START= 1 AVAIL= 3338 VM2L00 3390-09 START= 6734 AVAIL= 3283 In the EXTENT CONTROL file, I have VM2xxx defined but I do not have VM1xxx defined. Even checked the directory and there's no references to these DASD.Why is DIRMAINT picking this up? And where is it getting its information from?Would like to get them off of this list since they're on our other VM system. Thanks

FTP Problem
First, a diagram. Windows Server |-- 10.199.8.15 | Windows | Workstation | z/VM 5.3 10.200.70.35 -- Firewall -- 10.199.103.48 | | | Windows laptop |-- 10.199.16.x We are attempting to FTP from the Windows PC at 10.200.70.35 to the three addresses on the 10.199 network. Our network guy says that the three 10.199 addresses have been fully opened on the firewall for 10.200.70.35 to access. That is, all ports are available. - 10.200.70.35 can FTP to 10.199.16.x, the network guy's laptop. - When 10.200.70.35 attempts to FTP to either 10.199.8.15 or 10.199.103.48, the FTP hangs at userid and password validation for several minutes before dying. - Several people have confirmed that the userid and password are correct. - The Windows Server at 10.199.8.15 is tightly access controlled. - z/VM at 10.199.103.48 does not restrict FTP access by IP address, just userid and password. - z/VM can FTP to 10.199.8.15. - Various servers and workstations can FTP to z/VM. - Pings are blocked by the firewall, but a TRACERTE from z/VM seems to show 10.200.70.35 can be reached, just no TTL information. Our network guy is really busy at the moment, so I'm wondering if there is anything I can look at on z/VM that would show why the FTP logon is hanging/failing.

Re: FTP Problem
Also look at chapters 7, 8 and 9 in the z/VM TCP/IP Diagnosis Guide version 5 release 3, which will show you how to do packet trace and format the results, and also FTP server traces. If you see the VM FTP server try to open a connection back to the windows box on a different port, and you never get a response, that would be a big clue. You can also get IBM support to help you read those traces. They love to do stuff like that. -Original Message- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU] On Behalf Of peter.w...@ttc.ca Sent: Friday, April 08, 2011 2:03 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: FTP Problem Thanks for the responses.

You need a REXX exec around WAKEUP, that REXX is supposed to handle the events that are written in the wakeup cpontrol file. You can get a very complete implementation with my RxServer package: http://www.vm.ibm.com/download/packages/descript.cgi?RXSERVER 2011/4/8 Hodge, Robert L robert.l.ho...@lmco.com Billy, The RC 3 is from WAKEUP.

Re: Service on second level system
I expected to see something newer than 0801. I applied COR PTFs to run on a z/196 so I understand the service level won't change. All is well. Thanks for your response.

Did you apply an RSU or did you apply specific PTFs? Only an RSU will change the Service Level number. (The concept of Service Level is nice. In practice, however, it leaves something to be desired.)
