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.

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.

I don't make the move lightly or easily, but it serves both my own goals and IBM's. I will continue to reside in Endicott with my friends in Development, I will still annoy them with questions, and I will continue to exert my influence over product plans.

z/VM OSA with z/OS guest
Hello Fellow Listers; In need of some help with z/VM and TCPIP for z/OS guest. Here's the backgroung: 1) When running 5 z/OS LPARs the z/OS systems use the same OSA address, such as 7D0 but have different IP addresses in their IP Parms. This works and has worked well for a long period of time here. 2) We now need to have three z/OS guest machines up and running under z/VM with full IP capability. My communication wiz guy has been in touch with IBM and has been told that you have to set the OSA up that way under z/VM too. How can I dedicate 7E0-7E2 to three guest at one time? It sounds like a communications disconnect to me, but what do I know. At current time, I have each z/OS guest with his own triplet of unique OSA addresses. Each one will work fine UNTIL they are all up and running, at which time, we start seeing console hangs and what appears to be machine lockups. Some times they will eventually clear themselves, sometimes not. And it rotates as to which z/OS guest system hangs. Thanks in advance. ** GDOL CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This transmission may contain confidential information protected by state or federal law.

z/VM 5.4 CHPID Device question - IOCDS ??
Hello- we have the following configuration on a Z9 processor: 5-z/OS LPARS 1-z/VM LPAR. The IOCDS and all configurations are managed from one of the z/OS LPARs. We recently updated the IODFs to reflect that there are now OPTICAL DRIVES online to the z/VM LPAR. The IODF has been activated to all LPARs. The problem- we can NOT see the devices anywhere on the z/VM side. Not on the HMC on in z/VM. The CHPIDS were 1F 4F and the devices were 950-958. Even when we went to the ACTIVATE frame on the HMC-Nothing there. Anyone have any ideas?

Caveat emptor: External backups of a live Linux guest will be fuzzy. That is, incomplete and inconsistent, just as a z/OS backup would be if taken using DDR on CMS while z/OS is running.
