z/VM 540 DVD install
I am doing an install of z/VM 5.4.0 second level from internet delivered source. The manual says to upload to at least 4500 cylinder mdisk. Sinc e we only have 3390 mod 3 DASD on this system, I am planning to upload to a n SFS filepool. The manual doesn't say anything about that specifically so I just wanted to see if anyone has done this? Thanks.

CMS/MVS Toolkit
Does anyone have the CMS/MVS Toolkit product from Unlimited Software Resources? We need to apply a new product key but have no documentation and cannot figure out how to do it. TIA Jefferson Davis

How Unlimited is that!!? Google was not much help. I don't have a need for their CMS/MVS Toolkit, but like to keep a fairly accurate favorites folder of good ISV products.

Re: SPOOL volume disk error
Do you have both page and spool space on the same volume? That's not a good idea. Anyway, I would get off of that volume if possible. Drain it at the least. _ From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mikhael Ramirez Joaquin Sent: Monday, May 07, 2007 8:44 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: SPOOL volume disk error Hi Everybody, Just last week one of our production z/VM SPOOL volume got a device HW error and we started to get the ff: error messages: HCPPAH415E Six continuous paging errors have occurred on DASD 440E volume 514SPL. HCPVSS429E Console 0009 spool error; file held Our system restarts by itself, causing a downtime to our production system. The HW guys fixed the disk and we did IPLed with a COLD start and issue a commands to start and close the spool and it did successfully. But yesterday the error came back again. And the HW engineer says that they cannot see anymore errors on the device. We are planning to reformat the SPOOL volume and do a re-IPL with CLEAN start again. What other things do we need to do to correct the problem? Any suggestions or recommendation will be highly appreciated. Thanks, Mikhael P.S. We are running z/VM 5.1 (first level only)
