Re: Again IOCDS and dynamic activation.
As several people have said, the only way to prevent devices from "appearing" to your z/VM LPAR when a dynamic activation is done is to use the SET DEVICES NOTACCEPTED command either in your SYSTEM CONFIG or in AUTOLOG1. (I recommend using SYSTEM CONFIG.) If you never, ever want those devices to show up to your z/VM LPAR(s), then the IOCDS should be coded with the NOTPART parameter to prevent the devices from ever being visible to those partitions. I would be happy to discuss this in greater detail offline if you are interested.

Re: Dynamic IO Gens on boxes without z/OS?
We have z/VM on z10s that are both shared with z/OS and z/VM only (hosting Linux). On the z/OS systems, z/OS maintains the IODF and we let z/VM pick up the changes dynamically. On the z/VM only systems, we maintain the IOCDS with IOCP and native CP commands to modify HSA. In the past, we have also had a share z/OS and z/VM system where z/OS maintained its IODF (software view), exported the IOCP source and then we maintained the IOCDS and HSA using z/VM. It sounds like you have a situation where z/OS maintains the IODF and IOCDS/HSA on most CECs but now you are going to have a machine with z/VM only. In that case, you could choose the native z/VM solution. As has been indicated, another option is to maintain the IODF with z/OS, transfer the IODF to z/VM and use it with z/VM HCD. The manual "How to Migrate your Environment to z/VM HCD" has the deatils of how to do this. I expect that we will do something close to this in the near future. I would be happy to chat more about your specific requirements if you have more questions.

VTAM USSMSG10 buffer location assistance
I am looking for someone who can point me to a reference that might help me to modify a USSMSG10 screen that is coded using screen buffer locations. Before anyone comments on still having VTAM on VM, let me say that the reason we are doing this is to add a message to the screen to inform the users that VTAM is going away - soon. I know that the declarations probably include a 3270 data stream command and a location within the screen buffer. I am trying to locate documentation that might help. I am including a brief code snippet.

Re: New standard for networking help
If you choose to create an EXEC like the one Neale proposed to capture all of the information about your system, you may want to separate the output into multiple files. The output from the CP Query ALL and the set of user commands can be very large. You should consider how many devices are attached to your VM system (One of our systems has more than 12,000 DASD devices.) and how many users are logged on (We have LPARs that host Linux guests that have more than 150 user-ids logged on.). The rest of the list is manageable in a single file. Rick Barlow Nationwide Insurance
How to manage multiple LPARs without RSCS
Does anyone have a method they use to manage multiple z/VM LPARs from a single point without the benefit of RSCS for NJE connections? We have always had RSCS and used PROP or VM:Operator with a single logical operator being able to interact with groups or all of the LPARs. There is some question whether will want to keep licensing RSCS. Rick
Re: Using HCD on an IFL-only Machine
Unless you have some reason why you want to hardcode a software view of the I/O for VM, I don't see any reason to give z/VM an IODF. Since it was available in VM/ESA V2 in about 1994, we have let VM just accept what the hardware tells it and dynamically manage the software view. We have managed the IOCDS with both z/VM Dynamic I/O commands and z/OS HCD. We have even managed the IOCDS with z/VM Dynamic commands when there are z/OS LPARs present. In that case, z/OS just does a soft activate after the HSA is updated by z/VM. On our z/VM+Linux only IFL machines, we use z/VM Dynamic I/O CP commands to manage the hardware and let z/VM dynamically create the software view. If you share any hardware resources - DASD, Switches - with your z/OS machines, you may want to continue to use z/OS HCD to manage a single, consolidated view of the entire environment, export either the IOCP source or and IODF and then you can manage the IOCDS using z/VM on the IFL-only machines. The only advantage of using z/VM HCD to manage the IOCDS is that generating the z/VM Dynamic I/O CP commands from the IOCP deck can be rather tedious. HCD will definitely help you avoid mistakes.

Re: SET CONFIGMODE ON fails
On most z machines, you have to enable the system for Dynamic I/O through the Security Function on the HMC. I am not sure how to do that on a z800 but that is one thing I would check. You also need to make sure that your SYSTEM CONFIG includes SET_DYNamic in the Features Enable section. Another thing to check is whether you have DYNamic_I/O in the Features Enable section. If you do, CP will turn on Dynamic I/O during initialization to verify that the security is set correctly at the hardware. You should be able to look at the OPERATOR console log from the IPL and see whether the messages show that Dynamic is available.

Thank you to all who have made suggestions to Mark. I have shared a lot of additional researhc with him. I have discussed this on a couple of different occassions with RSCS development teams. The only RSCS link that meets the current requirements is the MRJE link. An SNARJE link will not work because the RSCS support is designed to be the host end of the connection. It cannot act as the client end of an SNANJE connection. NJE connections are also currently being used but do not provide the capability to modify the disposition that is supported by the Bi-Sync RJE workstation support in JES.

Re: dynamic IO changes
For your first change, you also need to look at the CNTLUNIT definition to make sure that the UNITADD range is large enough to expand your devices. If not, you can use a MODIFY CU command to expand the range. Once the CNTLUNIT range is large enough, your DEFINE DEVICE will work fine. For your CHPID change, you cannot change a converted CHPID. You would have to take the devices offline, delete the IODEVICES, CNTLUNIT and CHPID and then add them all again.

Job name in JES3 from RSCS Store-and-Forward
I have RSCS running on z/VM with an SNANJE connection to JES3. My second level VM system does not have a direct NJE link but can also send output to JES3 using store-and-forward through the first level system. Here is a crude drawing: VM1 -- SNANJE -- JES3 | NJE | VMT If I send output from VM1 to JES3, the output shows up in the JES spool with a job name that matches the VM user-id on VM1. However, if I send output the same way from VMT to JES3, the job name will show RSCS (where is the spool id from VMT). Is there some way to change that behavior so that the files arriving at JES3 retain the VM user-id of VMT? I haven't found anything in RSCS and I don't know if this might be something to specify at JES. Has anyone set up anything like this? (This is probably specific to JES3 since JES2 NJE often works differently.) ____ Rick Barlow Senior z/VM Systems Programmer Nationwide Services Co., Web-zLinux Support, z/VM and System z Linux Support One Nationwide Plaza MB-02-201 Columbus OH 43215-2220 U.S.A Voice: (614) 249-5213Fax: (614) 249-3912 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Multiple Logical Operator Consoles... how?
Back in the mid-1990s, I wrote some EXECs to extend the capability of PROP to allow multiple logical operators to interact with a single PROP. My colleague Jim Vincent includes this information in his SHARE session entitled "Automated Linux Guest Monitoring on z/VM using PROP" (Session 9136) in Appendix A. The extensions make use of a nickname in the standard CMS NAMES file. The PROP RTABLE and routines then refer to the nickname for routing messages. We have found that this is an excellent way to authorize multiple users to have authority to do a variety of commands that would otherwise require elevated privilege classes. In addition, we gain the advantage of having all of those commands logged. All authorized user who are currently connected as Logical Operators will receive the responses from any command issued by any authorized user. My extensions do not provide the ability to force the response only to the issuer of the command. This may not be useful if you want to have a large number of simultaneously logical operators. Feel free to contact me off-list if you would like more information. ____ Rick Barlow Senior z/VM Systems Programmer Nationwide Services Co., Web-zLinux Support, z/VM and System z Linux Support One Nationwide Plaza MB-02-201 Columbus OH 43215-2220 U.S.A Voice: (614) 249-5213Fax: (614) 249-3912 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The IBM z/VM Operating System wrote on 07/19/2007 12:35:05 AM: > IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU > > > Hi folks, > > How do you set up multiple consoles in z/VM? > > > I've got PROP implemented and use the Performance Toolkit to manage > the console display of the Logical Operator.

RSCS NJE SCTC to JES
I am trying to determine if there is still a restriction that an ESCON CTC between RSCS and z/OS JES must be defined as BCTC rather than SCTC. The last time I looked at this was 1999 and it was still a restriction. I know that RSCS V3R2 can handle SCTC between RSCS systems. I can't find anything in the RSCS documentation that says there is a restriction. I am not sure what z/OS JES book might have the information. I would also like to detemine if JES2 is any different from JES3. I need to do JES 2 today but may do JES 3 soon. Does anyone on the list happen to have such an NJE sonnection in use?

Re: IBM ServiceLink greenscreen to be discontinued March 31, 2007
In addition to the issues already mentioned, I know of 2 other problems with the web interface. The first one is that there is no way to send (e-mail) anything back to yourself. If you want to research 100 PTFs for a product, it is a lot easier to send the list back to a place where you can manipulate the list. Lest anyone think that I haven't researched this issue, I know that I could cut-and-paste or view source or a number of other relatively manual processes. However, all of those are much more time-consuming than tapping the PF key to "print" and send the output back to my VM system. I will also miss this function for being able to print and archive old PMR text so that I can find old problems after IBMLink deletes them (28 days). The ability to use a text mode browser might improve this but I am not aware of a text mode browser that handles https. The other significant productivity hit is the lack of shortcuts to get between functions. The point-and-click option requires a lot more waiting for transitions between tasks in IBMLink. I first heard about the probability of the 3270 interface being discontinued in October 2003 from someone in the IBMLink development team. I mentioned these issues then and, while the web interface has improved, these functions still do not exist. I guess customer requirements aren't as important as they used to be.

UM31784 is really a mini-RSU. If you order it, you will get maintenance for all of the same components that you get on a regular RSU. I ordered it and found 4 CP PTFs and 1 CMS PTF plus some for other components. I've loaded the CP parts and have them running on a 2nd level test system and one LPAR with no adverse affects.

Re: Dynamic i/o
There is one key statement in the Features section of SYSTEM CONFIG. It could be either in the Enable or Disable section and that will determine how your system behaves. "NEW_DEVices_Initialized_When_added" tell CP whether to accept the MCH interrupts when the configuration gets changed. You can further restrict some of the actions using the ACCEPTED/NOTACCEPTED and SENSED/NOTSENSED pairs. I think the default setup if you don't modify SYSTEM CONFIG is that everything is anabled and CP will accept the new devices and try to use Sense to identify them and build the RDEV blocks. ________ Rick Barlow Systems Engineering Consultant Nationwide Services Co., Enterprise Business Intelligence Services Mainframe, z/VM and zSeries Linux Support One Nationwide Plaza 3-20-13 Columbus OH 43215-2220 U.S.A Voice: (614) 249-5213Fax: (614) 677-0821 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The IBM z/VM Operating System wrote on 09/19/2006 12:15:31 PM: > IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU > > z/OS team has decided they want to dynamically define something to on of > our lpars.

Re: What is an FXREC, and how can I stop it from filling my EREP?
Do you happen to have a new IBM DS8000 disk subsystem. We had a similar problem when we got ours. The subsystem sends a lot records known as State Change. CP dumps the into the LOGREC stream.

Re: Newbie on SMTP
In addition to the answers already given (automated output from VM processes, automation, etc) we send and receive e-mail from VM because it is significantly less overhead than other mail packages. We can automate both sending and receiving e-mail using REXX and Pipelines. One thing we do with e-mail received at VM is to provision Linux guests based on information gathered and forwarded to the VM system from outboard applications. The provisioning process is almost completely automated (if the input received is valid). We also use outbound e-mail from VM to send information to vendors because it is easy to attach documentation without all of the hastles of downloading to a PC first.

It is easy to see how this could grow to more than one book! I can see a couple things that might be worth expanding. In chapter 4, it might be worthwhile to add Guest LAN and Hipersockets to the "Connecting Interfaces" section. I think it would also be useful to make some reference to Pass-Through somwhat like you suggest for VTAM. Chapter 6 should probably touch on PROP as the rudimentary automation tool included with z/VM. There could also be sections to introduce included tools like VMUTIL.

Re: TCPIP problem as it applies to VM 5.2
This normally has nothing to do with clients on workstations. It us usually an indication that the client code (from the TCPMAINT 592) that is accessible to the CMS user is not the same release as the TCP/IP stack. Is it possible that you have a copy of older CMS TCP/IP client code on a shared disk?

Re: Question about adding devices in z/VM V3
You can find the explanation of the 0106 return code in the VM I/O Configuration manual. There are 9 possible reasons. Your note did not show the entire CNTLUNIT macro but my first question is whether you really used CUNUMBR=2 on that CNTLUNIT macro. That is the only condition that looks likely.

Re: PSF printing
If you want the full function of PSF, you can (at least you used to be able to) order the PSF Command Feature. We have been doing it this way for many years. I believe you now have to order it as though were going to drive the minumum number of printers directly on VM. you then install just the PSF Command and Resource portions. You will have a PSF command which will build all of the XAB information that gets sent across RSCS with your data to control all of the features including PAGEDEFs, FORMDEFs, etc. You may be able to do all of that with some creative programming on CMS without the software.

Re: FCP attached EMC Dasd ?
I posted a similar inquiry recently and received no responses. I too would be interested in any experience that someone might be able to share. EMC finally certified DMX1000 for FCP attach using z/VM 5.1.0 in March. z/VM 5.2.0 has not yet been certified.
