Re: zVM 4.4 on a z9
On our z9 BC we had to give 1G out of the 8G we paid for.

What is the minimum you loose with a z/9? My understanding is that the memory dedicated to the HSA on a z9 [no slashes in hardware, please] is (a) always 2GB, and (b) not taken from the memory that you pay for. So, it's a trick question. :-) Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
SERVICE and PUT2PROD for Performace tool kit.
I suppose I should complain to IBM, but I was wondering if anyone else had seen this. The short description is that when I used the SERVICE and PUT2PROD execs to apply the service for PTF UM31957 on user 5VMPTK20 the FCONX $PROFILE on 1CC got replaced. It took me awhile to figure out why VMCF and WEBSERV were not working since I had slept since configuring it. I did not notice in any of the shipped doc that this would happen. So did I miss something or is this BAD behavior? Dave (who is eating my CPU) Lewis

Re: VSE hard wait under z/VM 4.3
There are a ton of PTFs needed to get VSE 2.6 to run on a z9.

Subject: VSE hard wait under z/VM 4.3
We moved from a z800 to z9BC. z/VM 4.3 came up okay. OS/390 2.10 works
fine.
However, when we bring up z/VSE 2.6, we get the following:

Re: DASD Secure Erase
With today's DASD the only way to ensure that the data is gone is to write garbage to cylinder after cylinder, volume after volume, until the device can no longer store anymore data.
