Re: Command to list details about the exisitng partitions / guest on zVM
The IND USER tells that CMS is IPLed (IPLSYS=CMS) Often Linuxes IPL CMS first to execute a PROFILE EXEC, a logon script in which one could prepare a better virtual machine environment for LINUX that will be started. Such a PROFILE EXEC would at the end probably boot LINUX, or test if it runs disconnected of not - if disconnected: start LINUX - else leave the user in front of the terminal in CMS to give him a chance to do extra things. A nice PROFILE EXEC would than tell how the console how to start LINUX. So: - #CP IND USER to confirm you IPLed CMS - if so, #CP IPL CMS (press enter on the VM READ that comes) - look at the terminal messages If nothing tells you how to start LINUX and you are still in CMS: - XEDIT PROFILE EXEC A and start reading to see what it does 2007/10/23, GnanaShekar Subramani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > FYI > > LOGON LINUXFTP > z/VM Version 5 Release 2.0, Service Level 0602 (64-bit), > built on IBM Virtualization Technology > There is no logmsg data > FILES: NO RDR, NO PRT, NO PUN > RECONNECTED AT 17:02:49 PDT MONDAY 10/22/07 > > CMS > > > IND USER LINUXFTP > USERID=LINUXFTP MACH=ESA STOR=512M VIRT=V XSTORE=NONE > IPLSYS=CMS DEVNUM=00016 > PAGES: RES=0952 WS=0931 LOCKEDREAL= RESVD= > NPREF= PREF= READS=0018 WRITES=0008 > XSTORE=00 READS=00 WRITES=00 MIGRATES=00 > CPU 00: CTIME=69:17 VTIME=000:00 TTIME=000:00 IO=000599 > RDR=00 PRT=00 PCH=00 > > > , > >,RUNNING > BEADEV1 ,, > Thanks & Regards, > -GnanaShekar- > > > On 10/23/07, GnanaShekar Subramani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation. > > > > You were right, LINUXFTP was running linux.

Re: Command to list details about the exisitng partitions / guest on zVM
Hi, Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation. You were right, LINUXFTP was running linux. But I was unable to connect to it using "putty-ssh or telnet" session. I was only able to "ftp" from the dos prompt. Now, when I login as LINUXFTP; all it display is CMS. I guess I did something like a LOGOFF without being aware of the consequence.

Re: Command to list details about the exisitng partitions / guest on zVM
Thanks for the console log; The most interesting command you¹ve shown here is: QUERY NAMES > LINUXFTP - DSC , PERFSVM - DSC , TCPIP - DSC , DTCVSW2 - DSC > DTCVSW1 - DSC , OPERSYMP - DSC , DISKACNT - DSC , EREP - DSC > TCPMAINT - DSC , BEADEV01 -L0003 VSM - TCPIP This tells you what is logged in on your system. Of these users, most can be accounted for as standard z/VM service machines. The two that are not, are BEADEV01 and LINUXFTP (although this could be TCPIP¹s ftpserve under a different name; You¹d have to log into it to see if it really is running Linux.) >From the others, I¹d say you have a vSwitch active (because DTCVSW1 and 2 are the controllers for a vSwitch) and you have the IBM Performance Toolkit (the service machine PERFSVM). I¹m not sure why TCPMAINT would be logged in disconnected. This isn¹t needed for anything. OPERSYMP, DISKACNT and EREP are collectors for various information produced by z/VM. I¹m surprised to not see OPERATOR logged in on a terminal. The user you need to log into (due to the fact that it has the ³keys to the cabinet²) is MAINT. MAINT is the equivalent to Linux¹s root account. Since I don¹t see DIRMAINT running on your system, I¹d assume that the current CP Directory is on one of MAINT¹s minidisks, probably named USER DIRECT. You need to be able to log into MAINT to perform even minor maintenance tasks on the system. Hopefully someone has left you the password. The reason that you immediately see a Linux logon when you log into the system is that you¹re logging into a user that is running a Linux guest. You need your own, personal userid, so that you can easily log in and issue commands. Once you find the CP Directory, it should be a simple task to add one for yourself. Key to stepping into all this mud would be to look at the CP Administration and Customization manual. It describes the contents of the CP Directory file and how to put it into production, and also describes the SYSTEM CONFIG file, found on MAINT¹s CF1, 2, and 3 minidisks. Do lots of querys and look at the files that MAINT and TCPMAINT control. Don¹t change anything until you understand what those changes will affect. Good luck, and good hunting. -- .~.Robert P.

Re: Command to list details about the exisitng partitions / guest on zVM
You¹ll find that most z/VM¹ers will use userid, guest, image, and virtual machine interchangeably. Sometimes in the same paragraph, and possibly in the same sentence. Sorry; they¹re all just part of the history of the beast. But yes, if you log off the user, you¹ve ³powered off² the virtual machine. The ³magic number² on the IPL command that you refer to as is really the virtual CCUU of the disk device you¹re IPLing from. CCUU being the channel and unit number. This number should lead you to a device in the virtual machine¹s definition, which may be an MDISK or a DEDICATE, and will then lead you to a real device on your system. The virtual machines that are defined but not active will only be accurately listed in the CP Directory. Look through it, and try to eliminate any of the users that are created by the z/VM installation. What is left will be your CMS users and your Linux guests. You¹ll have to look at the minidisks of each individually to decide what they really are. -- .~.Robert P.

Re: Command to list details about the exisitng partitions / guest on zVM
VM user and Virtual machine / guest os are indeed one and the same LOGOFF, that's like pulling the plug out, not an orderly shutdown. So better stop your Linuxes with the appropriate Linux command and then enter LOGOFF. At the other hand: modern Linuxes register themselves to receive shutdown signals from CP, what means that if the LPAR gets stopped, of when you issue CP SHUTDOWN, or when one uses FORCE, these Linuxes will shutdown themselves and CP gives them some to do that. This time can be defined in SYSTEM CONFIG (on MAINT CF1) or by a CP SET command; by default, the time is 0 and FORCE or SHUTDOWN won't give Linuxes any time to stop. To find out the details, use QUERY SIGNALS or QUERY SIGNAL SHUTDOWN (or something like it, my memory isn't that good anymore to remember all details of relatively new commands).

Re: Command to list details about the exisitng partitions / guest on zVM
Another starting point, if the guests are connected via vSwitch, would be to "query vswitch" to get the name of the virtual switch. This will also tell you how many guests are attached to the virtual switch. Then "query vswitch active" to list the individual guests attached to the virtual switch.

Re: Command to list details about the exisitng partitions / guest on zVM
Hello, GnanaShekar. Welcome to the wonderful world of z/VM and zLinux; I think you will find it a very friendly and easy to use environment. To see how many guests (virtual machines) are running running, try this command: CP Q Names This will show you a list of all of the virtual machines (guests) that are currently running and whither or not they are connected to a console (terminal) or not (DSC -- disconnected). Guests do not need to be connected to a console for them to continue to run. A good place for someone new to z/VM to start is to take a look at this IBM document: "Introduction to the New Mainframe: z/VM Basics". You can download a free copy from here: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/abstracts/sg247316.html?Open Good luck and do not be afraid to ask any more questions that you might have here on the list..we really do enjoy helping new comers get to know z/VM!

Re: Command to list details about the exisitng partitions / guest on zVM
As an appetizer: (command case is not important, I show minimum abbreviation in Uppercase) CP Query Names lists all virtual machines that are active at this time CP IND USER x displays some detailsabout a virtual machine x To find virtual machines that are defined and maybe not active (logged on) you need to find the CP directory, that is a flat file that is manually maintained by an editor, or it is maintained by a product like DIRMAINT or VM:Secure. If QUERY NAMES includes DIRMAINT or VMSECURE chances are great that the CP directory is not manually maintained. 2007/10/18, GnanaShekar Subramani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Hi, > > I am a newbie to IBM systemz / Mainframe / zVM / zLinux.
