Re: z/VM Tape Hardware Questions
We are running z/VSE 4.2 and z/VM 540 and we encrypt our 3592 tapes. We run two EKM platforms. The primary EKM server runs under Windows and the secondary EKM server runs on ZLINUX under z/VM.

Re: ICKSADSF Parms
Mike, Once you get the SAPL screen up on SYSG, Then you perform the FILELIST via PF9. Then tab down to ICKSADSF MODULE and SELECT. This will place ICKSADSF into your SAPL screen. Next use a Load Origin of 1000. Then tab past IPL PARAMETERS and type CONS=SYSG and press PF10. This should get you what you want.

Re: How DIRMAINT Work ?
I AGREE with Scott. Sometimes it is just simpler and faster to use XEDIT to make multiple changes to the VM Directory. My exec performs a syntax check of the directory: DIRECTXA DIRNAME DIRECT A (EDIT and then checks the RC. If bad RC, we go back into XEDIT to correct. Also the exec performs DISKMAP to check for overlaps and go back to the Directory if overlaps occurred. Once everything looks good, the exec takes you document your directory changed via: XEDIT DIRMCHNG LOG A. I have DIRMAINT perform the real DIRECTXA. We like having the audit and reasons for the directory updates and who performed the changes.

We keep up to 9 levels of backout CPLOAD MODULEs around on the (enlarged) CF1 and CF2 disks, using a making standard similar to a z/OS GDG: The current one is CPLOAD MODULE the next oldest is -1CPLOAD MODULE the next older than that is -2CPLOAD MODULE and so on. The original date and time of the file is always retained. That way there's no worry about renaming modules to back out (we can shuffle names later of we choose), and we can easily tell operations to IPL with a LOADPARM to bring up SALIPL, telling them to load '-1CPLOAD' (or -2CPLOAD, etc.). OTOH, I can't remember the last time we had to back out a CPLOAD MODULE. Mike Walter Hewitt Associates The opinions expressed herein are mine alone, not my employer's.

Re: Duplicate VOLID's
I often bring up a second level VM system with the same volsers: 540RES, 540WK1, 540WK2, ... I always use a higher address for the duplicated volume when I DDR copy. In other words if 540WK1 is say 209, the DDR copied volume would be something like 847. This way, if 1st level VM happens to go down, before I finish my testing, it should find the lower addressed volumes (production volumes) and use these to IPL with. VM will start looking at each address with lower addresses prior to higher addresses. The only way this would fail, would be if VM fails on the read of the production VM volume or volumes.

In the directory for z/OS 1: DEDICATE 7D0 7D0 DEDICATE 7D1 7D1 DEDICATE 7D2 7D2 (the easy case). In the directory for z/OS 2: DEDICATE 7D3 7D0 DEDICATE 7D4 7D1 DEDICATE 7D5 7D2 (z/OS 2 still sees addresses 7D0-7D2, but the real hardware uses a different OSA triplet so everyone plays nice). Do the same with z/OS 3. If you¹re willing to experiment and get a MUCH niftier way of doing it (dedicating devices is SO old-skool z/OS... Sniff), use a VSWITCH. Define the VSWITCH with real device 7D0 as the real device in DEFINE VSWITCH. Grant ZOS1, ZOS2, and ZOS3 access to the VSWITCH. Then in the CP directory use NIC statements for 7D0 connected to the VSWITCH. Slick, easy to manage, and MUCH more flexible in how you use the hardware. At current time, I have each z/OS guest with his own triplet of unique OSA addresses. Each one will work fine UNTIL they are all up and running, at which time, we start seeing ³console hangs² and what appears to be machine lockups. Some times they will eventually clear themselves, sometimes not. And it rotates as to which z/OS guest system hangs. This sounds more like resource exhaustion than a network-related issue. Look at the recommendations for system resource management sessions that are in the Linux guides and in the running guest OS manual. A lot of the problems are similar (but zOS is even more ill-behaved in some ways).

Re: FORCED BY SYSTEM
This is why we no longer use dedicated console for 01F. If the 01F console goes down, VSE stops. Our VSE does not get forced as we have the DISCONNECT_TIMEout OFF. We made all of our VSE guests SPECIALS and then DIAL VSEXXX 01F following the XAUTOLOG VSEXXX. This way VSE keeps running, even if 01F goes down or is disconnected.

Adding the Disconnect_timeout Off statement to your SYSTEM CONFIG will prevent it, after you reIPL VM. Your problem was because the server's console was connected to a real terminal, and then that connection was broken but a CP DISC command wasn't entered. That makes your virtual machine go into a CP READ state without a terminal and then 15 minutes later, the default disconnect timeout period ends and you are forced by the system.

SET RUN ON, among other things, simply prevents CP from putting up a CP READ under certain conditions. It is the interaction with a broken console that triggers the Countdown to Oblivion. IMO, it is better to turn off the disconnect timeout and instead use system automation software like IBM Operations Manager for z/VM to monitor your system for VM READs (console request or CMS abend) or CP READs (e.g. disabled wait) by your fave virtual machines. It can then react in any way you wish: restarting them, answering them, forcing them, SEND CP baduser LOGOFF (rather than FORCE), SEND CP baduser MSG OBIWAN HELP ME, YOU'RE MY ONLY HOPE!, whatever. The *VMEVENT system service that Operations Manager watches tells you when the Countdown to Oblivion begins.

If the other LPAR is z/VM, this can be a VMTAPE MOUNT or DFSMSRM MOUNT command. If you have only one z/VM LPAR, then you'll have to issue the mount from z/OS. I don't know the command for that. Another option is to have a small system on disk that can be used to recover your main system. Normally, you would maintain the small system as a guest of your main system, but you would configure it so that it can also be IPLed first level. If you have to recover your main system in its usual datacenter, just IPL the small system and start your restores. For disaster recovery, you could backup and restore the small system using full volume dumps from z/OS. Note that this works for restores, but not standalone dump. For standalone dump, you need to have another LPAR available to IPL the small system. If you IPL it in the LPAR that you want to dump, the IPL will destroy the data that you want to dump.

If the other LPAR is z/VM, this can be a VMTAPE MOUNT or DFSMSRM MOUNT command. If you have only one z/VM LPAR, then you'll have to issue the mount from z/OS. I don't know the command for that. Another option is to have a small system on disk that can be used to recover your main system. Normally, you would maintain the small system as a guest of your main system, but you would configure it so that it can also be IPLed first level. If you have to recover your main system in its usual datacenter, just IPL the small system and start your restores. For disaster recovery, you could backup and restore the small system using full volume dumps from z/OS. Note that this works for restores, but not standalone dump. For standalone dump, you need to have another LPAR available to IPL the small system. If you IPL it in the LPAR that you want to dump, the IPL will destroy the data that you want to dump.

Re: Stand-alone IPL of a Virtual tape
Ismael, If you have access to the 3494 LCD screen console, you can use it to mount tapes. All of our Stand-alone backup are on 3592 tapes, So if we need to mount a tape that is outside the 3494, we follow the section: 3590/3592 Mount outside the 3494 But since your tapes are in the VTS, the 3490E Mount section should do what you need.

Re: Why my Dirmaint is unstable?
Sunny, z/VMDirectory Maintenance Facility Tailoring and Administration Guide A sample file, CONFIGRC SAMPDVH, is supplied with the product code. If no RACF communication is desired, no action is required. If RACF communication is desired, this file should be renamed to CONFIGRC DATADVH and used as an override file for RACF-specific configuration entries. The sample override file contains a USE_RACF= YES ALL configuration statement to configure the DirMaint server to use all default IBM-supplied RACF connector support. The sample file should be reviewed and changed to meet the needs of the installation, if required. I used the DIRMAINT Program Directory and this Facility Tailoring and Administration Guide to install DIRMAINT. We do not have RACF at our shop, but it looks like you need both CONFIGRC and CONFIG DATADVH. I believe the DIRM DISABLE has been issued. To enable would be DIRM ENABLE.

Re: z/VM 5.4.0 CMS commands are now mixed case
There is NO problem. Every thing works as before. I just noticed a difference between our prior VM systems and 5.4. Our prior systems would convert anything typed in CMS to upper case once the enter key was pressed. Now with 5.4 the translation does not occur. With 5.4: q alloc = q alloc q t = q t ind = ind With 5.2: q alloc = Q ALLOC q t = Q T ind = IND Not sure what changed. Maybe during the install I answered something different with 5.4 compared to prior installs. Is there a SET command to change this?

Re: VM RSCS as RJP to JES3, replace current process and last 3745.
We have NJE connections between our VSE guests and RSCS connected via Virtual CTCA as VSE runs as a guest under VM. Does you JES system run under VM? If so a virtual CTCA will work or if not, an emulated CTCA connection. Ray Waters From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark T. Regan, K8MTR Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2008 12:43 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: VM RSCS as RJP to JES3, replace current process and last 3745. We have an old process that is used to support submitting jobs from VM to JES3. The current process uses a 3745 running EP on it. Here's the EP configuration for them: The RSCS Side: *## EPNCPAB GROUP DIAL=NO, X LNCTL=BSC, X SPEED=9600, X CLOCKNG=EXT, X CODE=EBCDIC, X CU=2701, X DUPLEX=FULL, X TERM=3277, X TYPE=EP RSCSB1 LINE ADDRESS=(196,32-0),TERM=3135 RSCS 43B #1 RSCS1 LINE ADDRESS=(197,32-2),TERM=3135 RSCS 43C #1 *## The JES3 side: *## RJE GROUP DIAL=NO, X LNCTL=BSC, X CLOCKNG=EXT, X CODE=EBCDIC, X CU=2701, X DUPLEX=FULL, X TERM=2020, X TYPE=EP LNE2 LINE ADDRESS=(321,3D-3,3D-1),TERM=3135 RSCSB LNE3 LINE ADDRESS=(322,23-3,23-1),TERM=3135 RSCSC ** The VM side is using RSCS (TYPE is MRJE) to appear to JES3 as a RJP workstation. In JES3 it's defined as T=S370, with a console and three devices: RJPLINE,N=LNE2,A=(SYX,03D,SYY,03D,SYZ,03D),S=9600 * RJPTERM,N=VMX02,T=S370,RD=1,PR=2,PU=1,B=400,O=BFIX,G=VMX CONSOLE,TYPE=RJP,DEST=NONE,LEVEL=14,LL=79,JNAME=VMX02 DEVICE,DTYPE=RMT3211,TRAIN=(NO,RN),HEADER=YES,JNAME=VMX02PR1, FORMS=(NO,),DGROUP=VMX DEVICE,DTYPE=RMT3211,TRAIN=(NO,RN),HEADER=YES,JNAME=VMX02PR2, FORMS=(NO,),DGROUP=VMX DEVICE,DTYPE=RMT2540P,JNAME=VMX02PU1,DGROUP=VMX * Since our goal is to eliminate this last 3745, we would like to keep the impact to the users as minimal as possible. There are hundreds of jobs that are submitted from our two z/VM systems, a lot of them out of their scheduler systems. We have found that a lot of these jobs were set up ages ago, so there is no original author support for them anymore. In addition to using the RSCS to JES3 lines to submit jobs, the users also use a JQ function to requeue jobs as needed. The resulting console commands go across the RJP connection to JES3 too. The users also use a JL function that allows them to view the JES3 job output by accessing the JES spool directly. We have heard about Visara's FEP-4600 Communications Controller product, which supposedly supports EP connectivity, and we will be looking at it. Is the Visara product the only one out there? Are there any other options that we could pursue that will entail not having to force the application support people to make changes? I'm sure they would prefer something that would require them not to make any changes at all. We have a NJE connection between the z/VM and JES3 systems, but what we have heard is that without a JES3 mod, the incoming jobs are flagged as remote jobs and not local jobs. Therefore any resulting output can go back to VM by default. Supposedly the JES3 mod would somehow flag the job as being local to the JES3 system. Thanks. Mark T.
