Re: IP error
Is the OSA port set up correctly? I spent many happy hours trying to start an OSA port a couple of years ago until I discovered that the port was set up as Token Ring, not Ethernet. The reason? There was a little wrap plug in the T/R port... I took the T/R wrap plug out, put the Ethernet one (in the Ethernet socket!), disabled the port from the hardware console and then went through the set-up again (sorry, but I don't recall the exact details), and hey presto, a working Ethernet connection. You didn't say what type of OSA card you have - obviously if it's not the type that supports different LANs, this may not help...

FW: VTAPE from Virtual Software Systems
We considered VTAPE some years ago, but then went out and bought a brand-new IBM VTS. It's shared between our (very old) VM/ESA 2.4 and (even older) OS/390 systems. It's set up so that OS/390 sees a string of 16x 3490Es and VM sees 32x 3490E. We use a lot of NL tapes, and the data format on some of these meant it took a little bit of effort to get it working as we wanted, but having done so, the users love it. The only down-side is that, since its installation, our operators get nowhere near as much exercise as they used to...

Are you saying that you want to eliminate all tape drives? If so, how will you back up your DASD (upon which I believe that VTAPE writes its virtual tapes)? Unless you have mirrored DASD, with the mirror far enough away to constitute a D.R. site, you still need tape backup for D.R. Even with mirrored D.R. DASD, if there is ever DASD corruption, the mirroring code could just mirror the corruption to the remote site. Indeed, the DASD vendor's microcode could even be the cause of the corruption. Without tape backup, you may not be able to restore. Another alternative is virtual tape libraries (IBM, SUN/STK, and more), which write tape data for virtual tapes on DASD cache for fast I/O, then migrate that cache to very high capacity tapes behind the scenes. But even that isn't perfect for D.R. if at least one copy of the tapes are not stored at the D.R. site. Surely there are other variations on this theme to be considered. But in most cases, you probably want to consider some external tapes for true D.R. Always plan for the worst, or that's what will require a resume update.

Am I missing something here? The subject matter is "Add Virtual Memory Dynamically", which has got to be a function worth having - but why would anyone want to remove it? Surely it's akin to being able to add packs for paging - and you can't take them away (cue for a song?). This may be half a loaf, but even if it were just one slice, it's got to be a good feature.

Ricoh printer/copiers and VM
Has anyone succeeded in making a VM system print to Ricoh Aficio 3045 PCL 5e or Ricoh Aficio 3235C Multifunctional copiers via RSCS? We’ve recently replaced a lot of our photocopiers with these machines, which are connected to the Windoze network to allow printing from the PCs. I now need to add some of them to the list of devices that our VM users can access, and tried defining one to RSCS as follows: LINKDEFINE LAT164 TYPE LPR AST FORM * PARM LAT164 PRINTER=LAT164 EXIT=LPRXPSE EPARM='SEP=NO' HOST=159.197.66.166 It’s started – output from “SM RSCS Q SYS Q” shows: Link Name Status Sending Receiving Queued Looping Held CTC073 released 1 0 2 0 0 But that’s how it stays – the files that have been sent never appear as printed pages. It can be ‘ping’ed from the mainframe so I don’t think there’s a routing problem. I have many other networked printers defined to VM, which work fine. For example, an HP Color Laserjet 8550, defined in a similar way: LINKDEFINE N500LAS2 TYPE LPR AST FORM * PARM N500LAS2 PRINTER=N500LAS2 EXIT=LPRXPSE EPARM='SEP=NO' HOST=159.197.65.204 Have I got these things correctly defined to RSCS, or is there some configuration option that needs to be set in the printer itself?

FW: real ctc vs vctc on tcp/ip
We have two CTCs between an old VM/ESA system and an even older OS/390 system running on separate physical processors.

VM's SMTP server
Hi, Some time ago, our network people changed the address of their mail server. I duly changed all references that I could find in the VM system to point to the new address. Now VM's SMTP recognises the new IPMAILER address and sends mail destined for the real Outside World to the correct place (and such mail gets delivered), it continues sending inter-company mail to the old external server. I've obviously missed a reference - but can't see where. I've been through all the 191 disks and SFS directories that are defined to the SMTP and TCPIP machines (as well as, in desperation) FTPSERVE, NAMESERV, etc, etc but can find no reference (except one that's commented out) to the old mailserver. Can anyone suggest where I might look now? Please!! Regards, Roy Harrop ** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential.
