Re: Performence Toolkit not working.
Thanks every one for replying me . I have noticed one thing in our setup. We have two z/VM running and their DASD are in shared mode.In both the system Performance tool kit user PERFSVM contain 191 ( Disk) , which part of same 540RES volume. I think this might be a reason to cause problem , that two system pointing to same RES volume Please correct me, if my understanding is wrong.

Re: XEDIT Macro and Command Line Input
One idea (from my memory): Use EXTRACT /CURSOR/ to see if the cursor is past the first character of the cmdline. If so then READ CMDLINE should put the cmdline data on the stack so you can PARSE PULL it. When in doubt about how something like READ actually works, use the HELP command. A lot of the XEDIT details have faded from my memory, so you might have to experiment or wait for a post from a more active XEDIT user. These days I pretty much use it to compare THE on the pc against it. Les Bob wrote: I'm struggling trying to write an XEDIT macro and hoping someone can help me over a tiny stumbling block.

Re: Performence Toolkit not working.
Use the CMS file system diagnosis sample tool MDCHECK which can be found on either MAINT's 193 or 3B2 disk.
Re: Performence Toolkit not working.
Hello, Saurabh. In this case, the CMS HELP command is your friendtry doing a HELP DMSDKD1307T >From the help text, you will see that the error being reported is from the DMSAUD module in the TRKAL function. Return code 8 from the TRKAL function means: 8 No blocks are allocated and user area is unmodified. This is generally an indication of one of the following: - The number of blocks marked as available in the allocation map does not match block counts indicated in the minidisk label record. - Virtual storage for the disk's allocation map has been corrupted. - The allocation map on disk has been damaged due to pre-existing corruption. It appears that your 191 minidisk on the PERFSVM machine has been corrupted somehow, or that the virtual storage holding the minidisk's allocation map has been corrupted. You might first want to try increasing PERFSVM's virtual storage from its default of 64M to something biggerlike 256M. Hope this helps.

Re: Performence Toolkit not working.
You could check 191 disk readability. Define a TDISK of the same size DDR 191 to it...see if a problem occurs. At a CMS level (format the TDISK for CMS) then copy all of the files from the 191 to this TDISK to see if CMS can read them. Frank M.

Re: Performence Toolkit not working.
Looks like a corrupted disk.. if you have a backup - I would format the disk and restore it.. If not - you can try and copy as many files off of it as you can (you will likely be able to copy some files, but one or more will cause the system file error to occur). Corruption can be caused by things like two users linking the disk RW - or overlapping disks..

Re: HCPDPM1280E with STK 9840C Tape Drive
Jeff, That's good news.

Re: Q STOR command results
If you want to allow any LPAR to "grab" all of the unused memory, then you can set the reserve memory to the available unused memory in all LPARs. What is actually available will show up as STANDBY storage in z/VM and the rest as RESERVED. Note that the amount of STANDBY displayed may be the same on all LPARs, because the same unused storage "pool" is available to all the LPARs. On Fri, Aug 5, 2011 at 9:39 AM, Martin, Terry R.

You need to change the LPAR image profile to have some amount of storage defined as "reserved". If you don't do that, the LPAR can't see the unused memory on the box. So make that change, then repeat the deactivation/reactivation sequence. Note that you can set the "Reserved" value to a maximum value, even if all that memory isn't on the box.

Hi I my configuring my z/VM LPARS on our new z196. We have 25 IFLs but I am not assigning all of them to all LPARS.

Re: Question about Linux shutdown
SIGNAL SHUTDOWN (if configured in the Linux guest) will run the equivalent of "shutdown -h now", so as long as you provide the Linux guest time enough to execute a normal shutdown, it's safe to do that. 90 seconds may not be enough time - do a test shutdown manually to determine a rough idea of how long the system takes to shut down normally and add about 30 seconds for safety. As far as startup, the system will run the normal startup scripts when autologged, so as long as the applications are configured to be started by init normally, you're fine.

Systems with high memory overcommit benefit from lowering LDUBUF. This makes the penguins leave in a more orderly fashion when they remain seated on the eligible list until there are sufficient resources to complete their exit. At one installation we actually did the evacuations by groups of servers rather than rush them all to the exit at the same time. Based on the monitor data you could even come up with the proper pacing. Another interesting approach is be to trigger drop_caches as part of the shutdown process and then inflate and deflate the CMM balloon according to the resources that it frees. I take donations from those with copious spare time ;-) Rob van der Heij Velocity Software http://www.velocitysoftware.com/

Re: HCPDPM1280E with STK 9840C Tape Drive
Thankyou Mike for that info ... I'll get the firmware levels checked out. Update for any viewers / interested parties; this morning, for a short while, the drive behaved itself and I was able to write to it using TAPE, PIPE and MOVEFILE ... then it once again, 'just stopped working' ... symptoms that certainly indicate to me that the hardware / firmware route is the one that we should currently be devoting the bulk of our attention to. I've been using the same cartridge for all the tests so I'm currently not thinking media although the docs all indicate that media can be a big issue with this technology ... I may revisit this possibility in due course, but the same cartridge has successfully been written on the same drive using z/OS. Meanwhile, the sun is shining and it'll soon be lunchtime ... life could be worse :-) Jeff
Re: Trapping SMSG messages
The "heartbeat problem" has been around, and solved, for years. I remember it even being written up in one of the IBM Journals by someone at Yorktown *lots* of years ago. These days you simply go to your friendly VM Download Library and pick one of the Disconnected Service Machine packages, like VMSERVE (now owned by Bruce Hayden, since I've retired), or the more modern PIPESERVE (sp?) and only worry about the application side of the problem. As a bonus, you get a general purpose DSM that you can use to automate (or test) any number of mundane tasks, like checking that all the other dsm's had closed their console spool file (via the TIMES file) on the hour, by it's arrival in the rdr. In a network of cpu's, that even helps watch that RSCS is working. I do realize, from following this list, that there is now a lot of automation commercially available, but sometimes a quick 'out of your back pocket' solution is reassuring to management and can be used as a Proof Of Concept that leads to a Requirement. Not to mention that telling your manager "I can solve that problem before lunch and don't need a maintenance window to do it." doesn't hurt your reputation! Les Frank M.

Re: Question about Linux shutdown
The timer can be set up to 32767 seconds. You probably don't want to go that high in practice, you'll be waiting over 9 hours for a machine to just be logged off. Set the timer for normal shutdown times with some extra. If they fail to terminate cleanly, investigate the cause and resolve the problem. I would normally set the default to 600 seconds, that worked the vast majority of the time. Of course, different software has different needs. On 08/05/2011 03:47 AM, Lu GL Gao wrote: > > Thanks!

Re: Question about Linux shutdown
Thanks! Because we have many applications and softwares on linux, maybe some of them have pending stop, or maybe some have problem to fail stop. Even though I set a big timer, it is possible that system shutdown is prior to software's normal stop. How to solve this situation? Best Regards!

If the software you mention contains quiesce or shutdown commands in the init scripts, it will be executed with SIGNAL SHUTDOWN. The big question then is of the time frame. Is 90 seconds enough time to guarantee that the software is all shutdown before CP pulls the rug out from under the virtual machine? THAT is what you need to make sure of. Your shutdown timer may have to be changed. The shutdown timer can be set system wide, so that it does not need to be specified on each command.
