Base Processor?
When you set up the directory entry for a z/OS guest with multiple virtua l CPU's (e.g. CPU 00, CPU 01) and you QUERY CPUS, CPU 00 shows as BASE. Wha t is the difference between a BASE CPU and a non-BASE CPU? Does it really m ake any difference in this environment. In terms of real processors, at one t ime the base processor had to do the I/O. I do not believe that is true any more. Am I correct? and when did that stop being the case?
HCPKFL1719I No AP Crypto Queue is available
I want to use the CRYPTO APVIRT option in my z/VM 5.3 guest. When I log o n to the guest, I get HCPKFL1719I No AP Crypto Queue is available for share d use. If I QUERY CRYPT AP, I get: AP 00 CEX2C Queue 00 is reserved for dedicated use for every line. I notice when I IPL the system I get the status of busy f or each queue. I must be missing something obvious. How do you change the status of a crypto queue? Any suggestions?
Re: HCPKFL1719I No AP Crypto Queue is available
Thanks to Bruce for his help offline.It turns out there was another useri d that was not even logged on but had the following statement: CRYPTO DOMAIN 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 CRYPTO CSU * KEYENTRY SPECIAL MODIFY APDED 0 1 2 3 I did not realize that this would have an adverse effect. Also, even thou gh the QUERY CRYPTO AP shows the crypto queues as available, the VM system h as to be IPL'd for the queues to truly be available.
FLASHCOPY Challenges/Questions Getting HCPCMM296E
I am trying to flashcopy a single source volume to multiple target volume s in an EXEC. The first two FLASHCOPY commands appear to work. However the volumes following that get the following error message: CP FLASHCOPY 7000 0 3338 TO 704B 0 3338 HCPCMM296E Status is not as required - 7000; an unexpected condition HCPCMM296E occurred while executing a FLASHCOPY command, code = AF. +++ RC(296) +++ CP FLASHCOPY 7000 0 3338 TO 704C 0 3338 HCPCMM296E Status is not as required - 7000; an unexpected condition HCPCMM296E occurred while executing a FLASHCOPY command, code = AE. +++ RC(296) +++ Is there a limit on how many copies with a single source I can do at once ? Also, is there a way to tell the status of the background activities an d when they are complete? These volumes were the secondary part of a PPR C pair. I have run the ICKDSF SEVER process to sever the connection. They n o longer should be used as the targets for PPRC. Is that having an effect? The result of a ICKDSF PPRC QUERY is: 0 PPRC QUERY UNIT(704B) -ICK00700I DEVICE INFORMATION FOR 704B IS CURRENTLY AS FOLLOWS: - PHYSICAL DEVICE = 3390 - STORAGE CONTROLLER = 3990 - STORAGE CONTROL DESCRIPTOR = E9 - DEVICE DESCRIPTOR = 0A - ADDITIONAL DEVICE INFORMATION = 48001B35 - TRKS/CYL = 15, # PRIMARY CYLS = 3339 0ICK04000I DEVICE IS IN SIMPLEX STATE ICK00091I 704B NED=002105.000.IBM.13.00025612 0 QUERY REMOTE COPY - VOLUME (PRIMARY)(SECONDARY) SSIDCCA SSIDCCA DEVICE LEVEL STATE PATH STATUS SER # LSS SER # LSS 0-- - -- --- --- --- 704BN/ASIMPLEX N/A 70004B .. 25612 00 ... .. 0 -ICK02206I PPRCOPY QUERY FUNCTION COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY The first two volumes that worked are the same so I don't know what is causing the problem on the third and succeeding volumes.

Questions Concerning Set CPUID on Z9
I am somewhat confused concerning the implications of the new CPUID forma t on a z9 and setting the CPUID for a guest operating system either in the directory or by command. Do the first 2 digits of the 6 character cpuid i n the SET CPUID command actually simulate a virtual LPAR number? If so, wha t does the guest operating system think is its LPAR number? If I have defin ed 2 CPU's, and the first 2 digits in the CPUID is different for each of the m, does this indicate 2 different LPARS? Could someone point me to documentation that gives a good explanation? Is there any adverse implications for a guest operating system such as z/OS if the CPUID's are set as if it were a pre-z990 format? Thanks in advance for any clarificat ion.

To answer this we will need to know what type of processor. The differe nt processors handle things different. In addition, if this is a z800/z900 or older, you can only bind them to CPU 0 and CPU1.

Re: FCP SCSI support on z/VM in basic mode
I think I'm beginning to understand the use of a SCSI formatted SHARK. If I'm correct, the devices defined in the IOCP for the FCP chpids are actua lly just communications paths to the SHARK. Any address defined on the chpid can access any LUN on the SHARK. I think my steps would be: 1) Attach the SHARK through a fiber switch to the processor. 2) Configure the SHARK with Luns that are set up as VM Host. 3) Get the WWPN from the SHARK configuration panel. 3) Update the IOCP to reflect 240 addresses on the FCP chpids. 4) Vary on the 240 addresses associated with the SHARK to VM. 5) Dedicate any unique address from the 240 addresses to the LINUX guest. 6) Update the LINUX guest with the address and WWPN. 7) If the LINUX guest is to IPL from the SCSI configured SHARK, make sure the processor has the appropriate feature installed. 8) In the CMS profile exec on the LINUX guest, set the LOADDEV with the SHARK SCSI information. 9) IPL using the dedicated address. Please feel free to correct me if I have missed significant steps or have something wrong.
Can z/OS guest on z/VM use a real ETR?
Is there a way for a z/OS system running as a guest on a z/VM 5.2 system utilize the real ETR (External Timer Reference)?
Inconsistent XEDIT Logical Not
I'm having a problem figuring out why the xedit logical not symbol works on some systems and not on others. Any idea why this would occur and how I would set it up to work properly? From what I read in the XEDIT manuals, it should still work by default.
Re: Inconsistent XEDIT Logical Not
I'm not sure how to use in XEDIT to find all lines without a specific character string. I want to use the logical not prefix for the LOCATE and ALL commands as specified in the z/VM 5.1 XEDIT COMMANDS AND MACRO REFERE NCE: ¬ NOT symbol (Locate something that is not the specified string.) It appears that this is controlled by the system I'm connecting to initially. If I find a system I where the not symbol works, I can use passthru and the function is preserved. Is the code page controlled by th e VM system or by the terminal emulator on my PC? Is there a way I can override it using my terminal emulator? Or is the code page controlled by the MVS concentrator I initially connect to using PCOMM? I appreciate the information so far. I think I'm getting closer to the solution.
TELNET Problem Between TWO VM systems
We are having problems telnetting from one z/VM system to another z/VM system. The network between the systems is through a netscreen that creates a VPN tunnel. We can telnet from a pc on the vlan to each of the host systems but we cannot telnet from one system to the other in either direction. There is a vswitch on each z/VM system managing to OSA connections. Both systems are running z/VM 5.1. We can ping between the systems but not telnet...Any ideas?
Problems with 2107 (DS8100) and ICKDSF
I'm trying to use a new 2107. When I use ICKDSF and enter: INIT UNIT(9C00) NOVFY VOLID(SC9C00) VTOC(0,1,12) NOINDEX It hangs until it hits the missing interrupt time or I do a HALT 9C00. I'm using ICKDSF 17.0. If I use a back level version of ICKDSF, it works. Also, CPFMTXA FORMAT works. I'm running z/VM 5.1. Am I missing something on the 2107 setup? Anyone else have a problem?
Problems IPLing z/VM 5.1 from EMC DASD
We have been experiencing long delays when IPLing z/VM 5.2 from an EMC DM X 3000 DASD unit. Has anyone else seen this problem or are we missing somet hing?
