That works for minidisks, but not so much for actual RDEVs. I believe the OP

better answer in this case.

Where are you at on the z/VM floor system (1st level)? We are at 5.2, I
saw the warning, so far had nothing unusual happen after 2 weeks.

Subject: TCPIP for z/VM 5.4

I'm starting to work on TCPIP on my 2nd level install system and have
come across a warning in the Program Directory for TCPIP.  In section
5.2.4.2, there is a bullet item that says:

* This level of TCP/IP relies on the presence of certain functions
  in the z/VM version 5 release 4 levels of CP and CMS.  The
  converse is also true--using z/VM version 5 release 4 CMS requires
  that TCP/IP level 540 be present, to accomodate those functions
  that use TCP/IP (DNS) resolver services.

  Abends and incorrect results are possible if you attempt to
use mixed levels of TCP/IP, CP and CMS.

I have occasionally come across situations where a sub-system such as
TCP/IP requires a matching level of CMS but a matching level of CP is
very unusual.  I don't like doing "big bang" conversions.  I would like
to be able to move the 5.4 level of CP from my 2nd level install system
to my test lpar and then move the 5.4 level of CMS and then the 5.4
level of TCP/IP and some other things.  In this case, the bullet item
specifically mentions that a CMS/TCPIP match is needed for DNS resolver
services.  We run DNS on a different system. 

I would appreciate some thoughts on the idea of mix and match.

Look in your system config file you used to IPL your production system
and make sure there are values for all your user volumes which cause
them to be attached to your system at IPL time
 
They will look something like this, I use wild cards because we have a
naming convention associated with each LPAR
 
USER_VOLUME_INCLUDE VP*
USER_VOLUME_INCLUDE DB*
USER_VOLUME_INCLUDE M2D*
USER_VOLUME_INCLUDE EC*

Hi

 

I IPL'ed both of my z/VM 5.3 LPARS on Sunday. After the VAL/DEV LPAR was
brought up I started to logon and IPL the Linux guests. I had no
problems on this LPAR. 

 

Now, after I IPL'ed the PROD LPAR I started to bring up the PROD Linux
guests. This time when I logged on the guests the guest could not access
any of the MDISKS assigned to it. I looked and found that all of the
MDISKS were no longer attached to SYSTEM. I know these were attached on
Friday because I brought all of the Linux guests up without a problem.
It seems that they were detached during the IPL. On the VAL/DEV LPAR the
MDISKS for the Linux guests stayed attached to SYSTEM after the IPL.

 

Does anyone know why the MDISKS were detached from the SYSTEM on my PROD
LPAR after the IPL?

 

Thanks, Terry

Good day,
Firstly, apologies for a very basic question from a z/OS system
programmer.

Not being a VM expert, I've been struggling with this for most of the
day and was hoping someone could perhaps help while I'm still
downloading the manuals.

I am busy with the zLINUX installation on zVM. 
I would like to make use of 3390 Model 9 disk for the Linux software. We
would like to make use of a bit more space (over 3338 cyl or 2.7Gb) and
hence have the following definitions in USER DIRECT :

USER LINUX02 LNX4VM 512M 2G G   
 INCLUDE LINDFLT
 OPTION APPLMON 
 MDISK 100 3390 0001 4500 LNX000 MR LNX4VM LNX4VM LNX4VM  MDISK 102 3390
4501 0300 LNX000 MR LNX4VM LNX4VM LNX4VM  MDISK 103 3390 4801 3038
LNX000 MR LNX4VM LNX4VM LNX4VM  MDISK 104 3390 7839 2177 LNX000 MR
LNX4VM LNX4VM LNX4VM

When I logon to LINUX02, I get the following msg :
LOGON LINUX02

HCPLNM1151E LINUX02 0100 has not been linked because it is not within CP
volume extents.

HCPLNM1151E LINUX02 0102 has not been linked because it is not within CP
volume extents.

HCPLNM1151E LINUX02 0103 has not been linked because it is not within CP
volume extents.

HCPLNM1151E LINUX02 0104 has not been linked because it is not within CP
volume extents.



Searching on this msg does not provide any clues how to specify that
this is a 3390 Model 9 dasd.

Your assistance is very much appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Vikesh Bhoola

We're attempting to define an FCP channel with 8 LUNs and we can see the
WWPN of the Hitachi port, but nothing else.  (Basically, I have know
idea what I'm doing.  :-))

When I run:

scsidisk noprompt erase debug

It seems to detect the remote port and the z port, but it's not very
happy when it tries to do anything with them.

Here's the output:

Lost IP connection

[Hines, Bernard (MSFC-NNM04AA02C)[IBM BART]]

Does anybody know how to get a stolen IP address back?
I am new to this so bear with me.
We have SuSE Linux running on z/VM 4.4 system. We are running with the
traditional (I guess) TCPIP stack configurations with the CTC
connections. 
We configured a Vswitch and server to use the Vswitch.
The server running ctc with IP xxx.xxx.xxx.152 on the IP stack lost
connectivity when we started up the server with xxx.xxx.xxx.152 on the
Vswitch.
The new Vswitched server was connected and the old server was
disconnected. 
When we brought down the new server on the Vswitch and restarted the ctc
connected server we still had no connectivity.
We even went so far as to bounce the TCPIP stack. We still can not get
that xxx.xxx.xxx.152 to connect over the ctc connection.
Any ideas?

Yep. If it was supposed to be linked as mini disk, it may not have been
from cyl 0. So the IPL program is on the virtual cylinder 0, where that
may be.
Attach it to system and try to link it again.

Re: Linux IPL volume

[Hines, Bernard]

Thanks all for your online response. Thanks to LRS for bouncing
questions off of the noggin. That opened my eyes.
The answer is the LINK/MDISK statements all went from " END" 
I changed it to "0001 end" and successfully IPL'ed from the volume.

Thanks all once again, Thanks LRS

FYI, you can look up wait state codes in the "CP Messages and Codes" 
manual, using the wait state code as the HCP message number (eg.
HCP232).

This is the code you get when the device address you IPL'd does not have
an IPLable program on it.

Linux IPL volume

[Hines, Bernard]

Title: Linux IPL volume 






We are trying to IPL a LINUX guest where we have the volume attached 'CP ATTACH  * ' or referenced with a "LINK userid   " statement etc. 

In other words we don't have it attached to the system (att  system). 


We keep receiving the below message: 

HCPVMI232E IPL UNIT ERROR; IRB 00404017 00020A78 00200018 0008 

HCPGIR450W CP entered; disabled wait PSW 000E 0232 


Somewhere in the back of my limited knowledge I remember a reference as to the "IPL volume" for a guest having to be attached to the system or dedicated to the guest. Is that an accurate statement?
