Re: BookManager format softcopy
I agree. The bookshelf search is something that I use all the time as well. I can't seem to get similar search results using the other documentation media.

Once I narrow down the search, then I'll go to the latest version of the book to find the current information.

Re: Multiple z/OS under z/VM =xSYSTEM
First, I would not give 8 virtual CPUs for each z/OS guest but rather start with 2 VCPUs and see if the workload demands more. If z/VM only has 8 physical CPUs, you seem to have created a 8:1 virtual/real CPU ratio which could cause significant overhead and possible thrashing. Does z/VM 5.3 have expanded storage allocated as a fast paging device probably allocate 2GB for ES. Is that DASD shared among all z/OS guests? If so, could you show a small sample of how some disks are defined across the guests?

Re: the errors after turn on RACF
Sunny, Looks like you ran the DIRM USER command to get the copy of the directory that was passed to RPIDIRCT to create the RACF commands. However, it does not look like you ran the RPIBLDDS to actually update the RACF database since you indicated running VMFVIEW SERVICE. Can you confirm you actually ran the RACF commands? z/VM includes a set of CP directory control statements that are used to define OpenExtensions information to z/VM. You can use the OVM option of the RPIDIRCT EXEC to process only the OpenExtensions information in the CP directory, as follows: RPIDIRCT filename filetype filemode outmode (OVM When you are satisfied with the output from RPIDIRCT, invoke RPIBLDDS as follows: RPIBLDDS filename where filename is the name of the SYSUT1 file created by RPIDIRCT. >From the RPIDIRCT SYSUT1 file, can you cut/paste the commands related to MAINT.CF1. They should be similar to RDEF/RDEFINE VMMDISK MAINT.CF1. Issuing the RACF command RLIST VMMDISK * should show all entries in the class. Can you provide all or some of the output?

Re: Any idea? Dirmaint error by detach 123 disk(540RES)
Rob, with the DETACH of MAINT's 123, I don't think the online directory has been changed - yet? Have you tried from MAINT: dirm cp link maint 123 123 rw If the online directory is in tact, this should just re-establish access to MAINT's v123. If "dirm cp q v 123" shows the v123, then try from MAINT - "link * 123 123 rr" Jon Nolting - System z IT Architect (zITA) IBM US West IMT based near Seattle (206) 587-2244 (Work) - T/L 277-244 (425) 281-5750 (Cell) (206) 587-2244 (Fax) (425) 222-7969 (Home) From: Rob van der Heij To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Date: 05/27/2009 02:46 AM Subject:Re: Any idea?

Then restart DIRMAINT? If MAINT still had the 123 and it is not in the online directory anymore, then logging off is not a wise approach. But you can get that back. Normally MAINT has the DEVMAINT option, so you should be able to issue the DEFINE MDISK to get the 0123 full pack linked. Then get the yesterday's user backup from DIRMAINT and use MAINT to bring that online. This will give you a MAINT 123 again that DIRMAINT can link. Rob
