Re: My 45th Anniversary at SRU






Kudos, Fran. 

Sometimes I have envied colleagues who have moved about and gained many
different experiences, but in the end, I am glad to have been with my
current employer for just over 37 years now -- especially as I think
about what it has done for the value of that pension payment that I hope
to be able to collect one of these days.  And yes, I can remember wiring
the boards for 407 accounting machines and 509 reproducing punches.
Those were the days when life was a lot simpler.

Jim,

Couldn't you use the "big hammer" approach and update the needpass
value for all your user admin people from someone who can, like MAINT?
A list of the users combined with enough EXEC DIRMAINT commands in one
exec, run it and go on to something else?

I recall having to do that for a different option that changed changed
its default value between DIRMAINT on VM/ESA and DIRMAINT on z/VM 4.4.

Command to list details about the exisitng partitions / guest on zVM






Hi,
 
I am a newbie to IBM systemz / Mainframe / zVM / zLinux.  However I am 
familiar to IBM system p, AIX and LPAR / virtualization in AIX.
I have been given a username / password for zVM; and my client wants me to 
find out all the different partitions / guests that are existing. 
A long time ago somebody has setup linux guests on zVM and they have used 
zLinux in the project. 
 
We donot have a record of what was done earlier in relation to zVM / 
zLinux setup. 
 
I am clueless.  So thought of taking help from this forum.
 
This is what appears for my zVM login.

Actually, John caught it almost immediately; Early on in the process, an
arbitrary decision (the most dangerous kind :-\ ) was made to change the
test machine's names from zvmtestp / g to vmtestp / g. The xspool 
statements
contained the old names, so the systems with the new names did not have 
CSE
available. Two little "Z"s were sinking the boat. All the other 
occurrences
had been changed, so changing these two brought CSE right up.

Re: RES: Real Life is meeting Second Life at WAVV !!!

2007-05-21 Thread Stephen Buckles
Boy!  I hope you all had as much fun with this as I did!  ;-)

I downloaded the Second Life software, did the install, loaded the 
application, reviewed some HELP menus,  and started navigating to the IBM 
pavilion, and then I received a "STOP Message" indicating that my video 
driver(s) had been corrupted.  Four hours later, with the help of Norton 
Goback and MS update facilities, I had recovered my PC to the status it 
was before loading Second Life. 

Even though I missed the VM sessions, thanks to this little experiment, I 
have been reassured that I can recover my PC to a previous checkpoint.

Assunto: FW: Real Life is meeting Second Life at WAVV !!!

Here's a neat twist for a conference. Dunno how well it will work, but 
it's
innovative and a cool hack. 



Subject: Real Life is meeting Second Life at WAVV !!!

Real Life is meeting Second Life at WAVV !!! 

We're going to try having a little fun.  Want to hear more? 

Are you a regular WAVV attendee who can't make it to Green Bay this year? 

Will you be attending WAVV, but think someone on your team back home
(perhaps your manager) would like to see what WAVV has to offer? 

Are you someone who has never attended WAVV, but are curious what you've
been missing? (WAVV = World Alliance of VSE, VM, Linux) 

You may, or may not, be familiar with 'Second Life'.   Within Second Life,
you become immersed in a 3-D virtual world. For example, IBM has 
constructed
a 
complete virtual version of the Briefing Center at the Boeblingen Lab.   

Using Second Life technology, we're planning to do a simultaneous 
broadcast
of the 'IBM Update' session at  WAVV. The update session generally covers 
a 
brief overview of z/VSE, z/VM, System z hardware, and Linux on System z. 

It begins on Saturday, May 19, at 9:00 AM Central daylight time (7:00 AM
PDT, 8:00 AM MDT, 10:00 AM EDT, and 4:00 PM (16:00) Central European 
time).
The session will last approximately one hour. . 

You can find instructions how to get yourself established in Second Life 
and
where to attend the meeting on the z/VSE web site.   

http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/zvse/ 

Follow the instructions (there is a PDF to download) and join those of us 
at
WAVV - live (almost., there's a 2 minute delay). . 

To tell the truth, we've never done this before.  As a result, there are 
no
guarantees.  If it doesn't work, we apologize.   Assuming it does work,
you'll be 
able to learn more about z/VSE, z/VM, System z hardware, and Linux on 
System
z.   You may also begin to appreciate just a fraction of what's available 
at
WAVV.  Its worth a try.
