Re: z/vm monitor and linux data
Bob, If you are not using ESALPS from Velocity Software, you will not get the most accurate data and will not have an easy way to capture and process that data. You really need to look into this, it is not that expensive.

Re: Tape drive types?
Nick, I am in the last stages of planning our next DR, perform on 2/24. When I first started, we sent out our requirements to IBM and they responded in kind with the VM Directory for their floor system for our machine. In the directory they have all of the hardware that we are contracted for with the same types and corresponding CUU's. This way we are using the same hardware and the same CUU, sort of like being at home. I hope that this will give food for thought and will help in the process.

Re: Tape drive types?
I guess that I am very fortunate in that I only have 2 types of drives. When we restore VM VSE systems we use one type of drive, when we restore data we use another type drive. So far, knock on wood, we have been able to communicate which set of drives to use at a particular time and all has gone well. I, also am a little weird, I like to use the KISS method whenever and where ever I can! Loren Charnley, Jr. IT Systems Engineer Family Dollar Stores, Inc.

My reason for asking is I am working on trying to convince the management here that we could save tons of money by consolidating a lot of the easier workloads (ie- print servers) to zSeries Linux. One of the things I get back is no one is doing it, although I have to think there is a lot of it being used, especially with todays economy as it is. I think IBM has not done a very good job of promoting zSeries Linux, although from a marketing standpoint they undoubtedly make more money with a room full of p-boxes than one or two z-boxes running the same workload.

Re: Moving a guest to new DASD
That was the reason that I included the comment. I tried without the format and when I went to bring up the instance, it was NOT satisfied with the LVM and I could not get a clean boot. I don't know why but when I did the format then the restore, it came up clean the first time. Loren Charnley, Jr. IT Systems Engineer Family Dollar Stores, Inc.

The one big step that I originally over looked was to format the new volumes before the DDR restore. I have just finished copying two LINUX guests to a new storage array and it is now in production. Loren Charnley, Jr. Hi Loren, I was just curious why you needed to format the new volumes before restoring the data. If you use DDR to DUMP ALL and RESTORE ALL, wouldn't that take care of formatting the new packs? What am I missing here? Thanks. Ed Zell (309) 674-8255 x-107 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ..

Re: Moving a guest to new DASD
At the time, that option went right over my head. I would think that this would be a better way(faster). Loren Charnley, Jr. IT Systems Engineer Family Dollar Stores, Inc.

IOCP in zVM 4.3
I am in the process of changing z800 machines and will eliminate an LPAR, and change storage from a Shark to an EMC 8530. My question is on the ID statement at the SYSTEM= area. I now have SYSTEM=(2066,1), can I now code this SYSTEM=2066? TIA, Loren Charnley, Jr. IT Systems Engineer Family Dollar Stores, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] (704) 847-6961 x 2000
Re: IOCP in zVM 4.3
Thanks, I Can now find out the options for all the parameters. Loren Charnley, Jr. IT Systems Engineer Family Dollar Stores, Inc.

I also have been looking for a manual for IOCP and haven't been successful in locating one, anyone out there have a manual that I can get a hold of? Loren: Hardware publications are available at http://ibm.com/servers/resourcelink You need to sign in with your IBM ID and password (or you can register there to get one). Then select Libary then z800 and you will see the IOCP pubs about 1/2 way down the list.
