Here's what I do (I think you remember my FLASH2ND EXEC): 1) Use FLASH2ND to create a 2nd level/backup system a. This will use a new prefixed VOLID of '54B' (replacing the 540). b. Updates the SYSTEM CONFIG reflecting the new VOLID c. Updates a copy of the 1st level directory (USER2 DIRECT) changing the VOLIDs to match the new prefix d. Runs DIRECT against the 2nd level/backup system with the updated directory (USER2 DIRECT). 2) FLASH2ND process creates unique VolSer (VOLID) and is IPLable (w/o changes) Frank M.

Stating it from a different angle - you should never give your L2 guest access to anything you don't want it to have access to. It's no different than keeping your z/OS and Linux guests from stepping on each other or your L1 system. This guest just happens to be running VM. For your IPL, if you've DDR'd your SPOOL volumes from L1 to L2, there is no reason to do a COLD start. Do a FORCE start instead. Otherwise you need to rebuild or SPXTAPE LOAD the SDF files. For TCP, what happens depends on what you have set up for your L2 guest. If you gave it access to a real hardware (OSA, hipersocket, etc) then you have other work to do to prevent IP conflicts. If instead you've given it access to a disconnected VSWITCH and/or virtual LAN, then it won't cause any problems because it can't connect to anything. And, yes, defining GRAFs and using DIAL is a standard practice. Something you might want to look into is setting up your system so it recognizes whether it's at L1 or L2 or at DR so that it does the "right thing" for that situation. There's several ways to do that, but you've gone down the path of diverging your L2 system from your L1 system. At my site I have it setup so that I can DDR my L1 system into my L2 guest, into a couple different setups at my DR site, or into some unknown site, and it comes up the way I want it to in each instance even if the others are running. It makes life easier. What you're doing is a great learning experience, and eventually you'll see the value in making your multiple systems easier to manage.

z/VSE dispatch of multi-CPU under VM
This was stated on the z/VSE LISTSERV, can someone confirm (or deny) it? Here is a quick tip. When running under VM with multiple VSE's it is usually NOT a good idea to define multiple CPU's to VSE and expect turbo dispacher to handle them. Why?

Re: Applying Maintenance - Best Practice
If I am DDR copying 540RES, 540W01, 540W02 to another set of disks I
believe I will need to cprelease the CPOWNED volumes to do the DDR. But
that will impact Level 1.
I suppose I could invoke DDR outside of CMS to get around this.

Re: How is LOADPARM obtained?
Hmmmfrom the website: Multiple Configuration Boot Support The "multiboot" patch adds the ability to IPL different configurations from the same device using the LOADPARM parameter on VMs IPL command or the "Load Parameter" field on the Hardware Management Console. It is especially useful when IPLing zLinux in an LPAR. You may setup several configs in /etc/zipl.conf, like a known good one, a test one, and one that IPLs into single user mode. Then, if something untoward happens while testing, you have alternatives to get zLinux back up. You can even maintain 1 zipl.conf to be used by several LPARs and/or VM guests. Frank M.

In Dec 2009 & Jan 2010 I was creating some standalone IPL'able code and needed to retrieve the Loadparm.

In my tests, a drop of an instance with a *numeric* tail causes any previously dropped instance with a numeric tail with a higher value to be undropped. It appears not to affect non-numeric tails. You can see the results with the following exec. Changing the loop to go from 1 to 10 gives expected results, but 10 to 1 does not. parse value 999 with bbb. do i = 10 to 1 by -1 if i = 2 | i = 4 | i =6 then drop bbb.i say right(i,2) bbb.1 bbb.2 bbb.3 bbb.4 bbb.5 bbb.6 bbb.7 bbb.8 bbb.9 bbb.10 end A PMR is needed in order to get it fixed. > Any chance of a fix for 5.2?

In other words, save the old CPLOAD and just point to the new CPLOAD at IPL and if need be simply fallback to the old CPLOAD. I know the CF1 Parm Disk backup supports this. But is there a way of applying maintenance so that it hits only a new CPLOAD and not the current CPLOAD. Perhaps the answer is to save the current CPLOAD in the CF1 Parm Disk configuration before applying the maintenance. It is probably not "best practice", but is there such a procedure of avoiding a full system backup before putting on any maintenance, or is that taboo?

The documentation states: STARTING COLUMN is the column in the incoming message where the programmable operator facility starts looking for the character string mentioned in the COMPARISON TEXT field. If this field is left blank, the programmable operator facility starts scanning at the beginning of the message.

Re: Duplicate VOLID's
Yes, and it's specified in examples in some documentation (Redbook Paper "Linux on IBM eserver zSeries and S/390: VSWITCH and VLAN Features of z/VM 4.4"). Yeah, it's old! :) Frank M. Ramaekers Jr. -Original Message- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of Alan Altmark Sent: Friday, August 27, 2010 1:38 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: Duplicate VOLID's On Thursday, 08/26/2010 at 09:58 EDT, Tom Huegel wrote: > So I guess there is no way to absolutly protect z/VM from using the wrong pack > at IPL.. Maybe a requirement? In SYSTEM CONFIG allow optional rdev on the SLOT > deffinations. comments? Rich Corak has explained on previous occasions how volser recognition works. If CP detects a duplicate volser for a device to be attached to SYSTEM at IPL, you will get HCP954I DASD rdev1 VOLID volid IS A DUPLICATE OF DASD rdev2 and you are responsible to ensure that rdev2 is the one you intended to be attached to the system. Out of all the volumes on the system with that volid, the lowest *device number* (address) will win, without regard to who responds first. As has been suggested, this is no guarantee since you can find yourself in trouble if you have a dasd problem or someone dinks with the I/O config and makes a mistake. Being able to place the RDEV on the CP_owned and user_volume_ statements is one way to help mitigate the problem. There is another way to identify devices: by their architected node element descriptor (NED). Or in the lingua franca, universally unique identifiers (UUIDs). When Single System Image hits the streets, you will find UUIDs very much in evidence, though not in the context of IPL or SYSTEM CONFIG. But I could imagine something like this in SYSTEM CONFIG: CP_Owned Slot 1 6X0RES ID 2105.000.IBM.13.3737504EE.0D0A CP_owned Slot 2 6X0TD1 ID 2107.900.IBM.13.29839621A.0D0A CP_owned Slot 3 6X0PG1 ID 2107.900.IBM.13.4924295DC.0D0A, (yes, there are two IDs for slot 3) 2107.900.IBM.13.0358113AA.0D0A (..choose in the order given) so that you wouldn't have to worry about the RDEV. However, there is a Heisenberg-esque trade-off to be made between flexibility and security. Good news - the above syntax ensures you won't have any bogus volumes. Bad news - it won't tolerate any copies or change in DASD, so it's generally hostile to a dynamic DR environment, and you can't get the NED until you IPL. Hmmmorwhen IPL has finished, CP could write the found UUIDs to the warm start area and use those in preference to any other on a subsequent IPL. For PPRC pairs, write both UUIDs and allow either. If a volume with the needed UUID is not available, then (based on configuration) ask which RDEV to use a la z/OS, or just take the lowest-numbered one available. In either case, update the UUID in the warm start area. h.

I have briefly tested the VM TN3270E server, and it seems to works fine. Using the Cisco based TN3270E server, our end-users get a VTAM SNA-session with an USSTAB menu, giving them access to our multidomain VTAM-network and all its applications running in several VM and VSE systems. I can do the same using the TN3270E server in VM: I can connect a TN3270E session to VM/VTAM using the DIAL VTAM command (manually, or from SCEXIT) which creates a Non-SNA-session on which I can show an USSTAB menu. This does require a DEFINE GRAF 3270 for every session that DIALs to VTAM. I tried that and it works, but can I use this DIAL-method for several thousands of TN3270E sessions? Is there a limit to the number of sessions? Or are there better ways for coupling a lot of VM/TN3270E sessions to VM/VTAM? Thanks, Geert.

Re: Defining OSA dynamically
From the manual: PQ_ON PQ_OFF tells CP whether or not outbound priority queuing as supported by the QDIO interface is to be used. If PQ_OFF is specified, then priority queuing is disabled. By not exploiting this function for an OSD channel, the channel can support four (4) times as many queues. For details, refer to Usage Note 11. When the option is unspecified, the default is PQ_ON, which enables priority queuing. Frank M.

Re: DR Backup using DFDSS
I don't know if a different product is what you have in mind. We use FDR (Innovation) to back up z/OS, z/VSE, z/VM and z/Linux DASD. Frank M.

(CMS/CTR) (CTR) Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2010 9:44 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: DR Backup using DFDSS Hi I have a dilemma. All of my z/Linux DASD volumes are formatted for a VTOC on cylinder zero so that I can leverage the z/OS DFDSS backups of these volumes. No problem, however I am getting this one guest ready for DR and as such running DFDSS on z/OS to accomplish this. This particular guest has 2 volumes that do not have z/OS VTOC (Dedicating them in the Directory entry) therefore DFDSS receives the ADR307E: error message basically because there is no z/OS VTOC. I know I could use DDR on z/VM to get around this but the problem is that these volumes are in use and I need to attach them to whatever machine I am going to do the DDR from and cannot go to another LPAR because these particular volumes were not gen'ed to be accessible from any other LPAR but the production (separation requirement). So is there any way I can get these backed up given the above?
