It's amazing how complicated it gets when you want to make it reliable enough to hook up to the mainframe. I actually used a 25-foot extension of CAT-3 cable to the 18-foot factory installed cable when I made mine because I was anticipating the need to potentially mount it outdoors. Turned out that was needless. It receive s quite well in my conventional wood frame house without a view of the sky while sitting atop my desk. More cable would be feasible. (Others have u sed a skylight and put the puck in the skylight.) It only needs five volts th us the beauty and simplicity of using USB for power only. If the cable was s o long that voltage drop off happened, then I'm sure that could be easily overcome. Sure, some mainframe systems are located in, umm, certain dee p underground facilities in the western USA. I think that mostly installed in places that cannot receive GPS is too harsh. I visited TONS of customer shops with windows or top floor machine rooms in my career. The bunker installs are not the only world of installed mainframes. ;-) Because the GPS in this usage is a stationary receiver (I do not drive my desk around the house like Conan O'brien does with his on his tv show), t he navigation fix is constant unless experiencing an earthquake. The navigation fix provided by the satellites allow the time to be determined and delivered, and *that* further allow the GPS to deliver the pulse-per-second signal because it knows when the second boundary crosses . GPSD gets the signal through the serial cable and notifies NTPD via a sha red memory segment. It doesn't get any faster than that for me. Microseconds precision. If nothing else, my desktop equipped with this can be a stratum one NTP t ime source for all of the other systems on my LAN with the shortest possible network delay. I could even open it up to the pool.ntp.org pool of serve rs if I cared to do that. Others who have built these have actually done tha t. -- Gary Eheman Fundamental Software, Inc.

Re: VM Workshop -- Locations
If you are interested in location selection, I'd suggest contacting Bill Munson to get on next year's committee. You can see from the thread, everyone has some thoughts about it. This year's committee met the day before the event to discuss next year's options. That's one of the reasons it's important to have good representation on the committee. Several locations were considered, including some of those mentioned here. The list also included Washington State, Michigan State, Richmond, Austin, U. of RI, Chicago, Boston, SUNY Binghamton, Penn State etc.. This is how we selected OSU for 2011 and it was agreed that we should at least consider the following when selecting the next location(s): 1.) Inexpensive (relatively speaking) to get there. Not just to the airport, but from the airport to the campus. 2.) University locations only (non-commercial/corporate) to avoid/neutralize conflicts of some sort. 3.) Towards the center of the country to avoid losing attendees from the opposite coast. 4.) Airport relatively close to the campus (like less than 30 minutes if possible) 5.) Excellent Facilities at a reasonable price. Each attending committee member had 2 votes (first and second choice). U. of Kentucky, OSU, and U. of Nebraska (Omaha campus) took the top 3 votes in that order. Bill's 2012 committee is already working on these for next year. It's not always possible to get the dates, price, etc, which is the reason for the backups. BTW, Rice, UT(Austin), Michigan State, U of Arkansas, UMKC, were also on the short list. So plenty of options were on the table. I hope this helps. Len In a message dated 8/2/2011 6:11:43 P.M.

Re: anyone running ILMT?
Thanks Leland! I will post back the definitive answers when we get our questions answered about those parameters. Marcy -Original Message- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU] On Behalf Of Leland Lucius Sent: Tuesday, August 02, 2011 4:47 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: [IBMVM] anyone running ILMT? We run it on all of our platforms and do manual scans everywhere since it provides more control than the scan groups. As far as z goes, we use Operations Manager to kick off a few scans at a time so as not to bog down the LPARs and we only do it monthly. The scripts also knows about which filesystems to scan and which ones to bypass and adjusts tlmagent.ini before the scan. I know this can be done in the server itself, but it's just easier to let each platforms script manage it since the respective groups know what's happening on their servers the best. Another thing we do is drop the cache on each server after the scan completes. The first time we let the ILMT server do the scan automatically, the person that set it up put all of the zLinux servers in one scan group and they all kicked off at once. z/VM paging went totally bonkers due to memory overcommit (3 to 1 if I remember correctly). I maintain the ILMT server now. :-) Also, in case you want to manage it via scan groups, check into the lmtcli.sh command as it will allow you to automatically assign servers to different scan groups (and a lot more). I have a script that runs daily and checks for anything in the DEFAULT group (we assign all new servers to DEFAULT) and reassigns them to the correct groups using the command. Since we do manual scans, the scan groups don't do much for us except for reporting and I have a script that runs monthly to check for invalid/missing scans and emails a report to the correct group. The notifications built in to the ILMT server don't really provide a way to do that (not that I could find anyway). Anyway...just some tidbits on how we roll. :-) Leland And no, I never did figure out exactly how to configure the capacity values so if you do I'd be might grateful if you'd pass on the info.

I agree with Bill. The VM Workshops were around when SHARE and GUIDE did their thing and before WAVV was formed. It wasn't an either/or in those days, nor is it today. We brought the VM Workshop back to fill a need for VMers. Easy, inexpensive education, and an opportunity to hang out with VMers to discuss topics specifically relevant to the VM space.

Re: A call for people to chair sessions.
To those of you who z/VM'ers and LoZ'ers attending SHARE in Orlando next week, but who have not yet volunteered to chair any sessions: chairing is a huge help to the all-volunteer members who pull these terrific SHARE conferences together. Those volunteers are run pretty ragged during the week and could really use your help, your expertise on the session's subject matter does not matter - if you are attending a session, you qualify to act as a session chair! Chairing sessions is really quite simple, and there's even a brief session on Sunday evening explaining that simple process. Being able to stand in front of a friendly crowd to introduce the speaker, and being able to count as high as the total number of people in the room at the start of, and mid-way through the session is pretty much all that's required. You are permitted to count on your fingers, and for larger sessions, even use your toes!. :) Chairing affords you the opportunity to form personal relationships with some of the z/VM, Linux on System z, and SHARE-leadership shakers and movers. A pretty nice payback for a very simple task. Mike Walter Aon Corporation The opinions expressed herein are mine alone, not my employer's.

Re: How to get Operator Log
Saurabh, If your MVS virtual machine is also your MVS operator's console and it's running in 3270 mode, there is no z/VM - CP log for this console. However, for your OPERATOR virtual machine which should have console spooling started and is a 3215 device type - you can either logon to OPERATOR and issue the command - 'SPOOL CONS CLOSE CL A TO *|USERID. Or if you are logged on to the MAINT virtual machine, issue this command - 'FOR OPERATOR CMD CP SPOOL CONS CLOSE CL A TO MAINT'. This will close the OPERATOR's console log and send it to MAINT's virtual reader where you can either RECEIVE it or just PEEK it. As to MVS, when you re-IPL the system, you should still have the SYSLOG file from the crash as either your current SYSLOG file or it's on the SPOOL volume where you can offload it to a disk data set.

Saurabh, This is a good forum for that question. Before doing anything else, it might also be handy to display the PSW on the MVS virtual machine userid.

Re: SSL Configuration on z/VM 6.1
I experimented with those parameters but had no success with them in place (I still have the commented line in my profile for when I get bored). I believe the SECURE on the port definition forces it - I know for a fact that I cannot connect to the system without SSL enabled in my client (and a forced port definition of 23 - we use the RUMBA client here and it seems to assume that SSL should travel over some other, unspecified port).

SHARE Luau!
Are you going to SHARE in Orlando next week? Want to have some real FUN too? SHARE is going to be having a Luau on Sunday evening to kick the week off! This isn't the usual finger-food reception, this is the real deal with plenty* of good food and drink along with entertainment. We're talking Hawaiian shirt time folks! Most long-time VM'ers know what that means, so bring 'em on! It should be a lot of fun. I hope to see everyone there! I'll be the one in the Hawaiian shirt... :-) See http://www.share.org/Events/UpcomingConferences/SHAREinOrlando/SHAREinOrlandoLuau/tabid/773/Default.aspx for more details.

Re: DASD utilization question
Linux and CMS use disks completely differently..Linux will use a minidisk as a partition either directly (such as /dev/dasda1 being mounted as a filesystem) -- or as part of an LVM volume group. It also may not use the minidisk at all.. On Linux -- a 'df -h' command should show you usage of the mounted filesystems. To relate that to a minidisk is possible if the minidisk is a single partition and mounted -- but much more difficult if it's part of an LVM volume group. There are various commands you can issue from Linux to figure it all out: - lsdasd tells you what minidisk address is assigned to which dasd device (e.g. dasda, dasdb, etc) - vgdisplay -v will lists what dasd partitions make are part of a volume group Relate those things to what 'df' shows and you can 'maybe' figure out how full each disk is.. but I would not approach it this way... You want to view usage at the Linux level - and not the physical disk level. The way CMS uses disks, it makes sense -- but Linux can use them in a variety of ways.

I believe the SECURE on the port definition forces it - I know for a fact that I cannot connect to the system without SSL enabled in my client (and a forced port definition of 23 - we use the RUMBA client here and it seems to assume that SSL should travel over some other, unspecified port). Putting the SECURE option on the PORT statement is for those cases like https, where the SSL tunnel is established prior to the flow of any application protocol data. E.g. PORT 80 TCP HTTPSERV 443 TCP HTTPSERV SECURE MYCERT NOAUTOLOG However, current telnet and ftp clients use *negotiated* SSL, where the application decides when to create the SSL tunnel. For these cases, you must configure the telnet and ftp servers to (1) influence the negotiation according to your security policy, and (2) have the name of the certificate they will use. E.g. InternalClientParms SecureConnection Required TLSlabel MYCERT EndInternalClientParms MYCERT is the 8-character label you assigned to a [satisfied] certificate request in the SSL server or an imported certificate. Make sure when you specify the certificate label on gskkyman that you use uppercase. And in this case, the SECURE option is NOT present on the PORT entry.

Re: How to get Operator Log
Hello, Thanks for reply. Using this command SPOOL CONS CLOSE CL A TO MAINT will only send z/MV log to maint. But if we want to know the reason, why my some of the MVS guest are crashing then how do I find it . Becuase MVS SYSLOG doesnt tell anything reason for crashing. So I just wanted to get CONSOLE log, which can provide some detail about MVS crashing. I tried repling MVS guest from VM. for doing this we use MVSCONS id, and type *xautolog sysa1* command . In starting I get Ipling messages on MVSCOS id , but after some time, messages get routed to MVS console, which we created in MVS not in VM.. Can you help me in this case to find CONSOLE log for MVS crashing.
