ISPF Post-z/VM Installation
I need to install ISPF on my z/VM 5.4 system. I have recently installed RACF and need to add panel support. I have the electronic media from the Shop zSeries site as well as the DVD for the z/VM 5.4 SDO. How do I go about installing ISPF after the fact? Can I do it via FTP? Can that part be installed as a Product Envelope and if so, how do I go about getting it? Thanks, Dave
Re: ISPF Post-z/VM Installation
ISPF for VM is one of those semi-VMSES/E products. It's so old it predates the rigourous methodology of VMSES/E and had its own install method based on an install tool EXEC from earlier versions of VM. The z/VM 5.4 SDO Directory http://www.vm.ibm.com/sdo/sdozv54.pdf has a section on installing ISPF and describes the semi-VMSES/E procedure, Page 134. You'll also need the ISPF Program Directory, you can find it here: http://publibfi.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/i1114480.pdf This will help when you go to build the ISPF DCSS. And, I presume you have the ISPF product tape.

Re: ISPF Post-z/VM Installation
What I have is the z/VM 5.4 SDO media. If I need an additional ISPF product tape, I will need to order it.

Re: ISPF Post-z/VM Installation
Yes, if ISPF wasn't on your SDO tapes, you'll need to order it. You can get it on ShopZSeries and probably via internet delivery as a Program Product envelope. Or a real tape, but not a reel tape.

Re: ISPF Post-z/VM Installation
I don't have tapes - I have a DVD and I obtained the electronic version of the SDO from IBM this morning. I was hoping to get the Product Envelope, but I didn't see where I could get just that component.

Re: ISPF Post-z/VM Installation
Don't forget that if Dave is running his z/VM system on IFL engines and not CP ones, he'll need to license ISPF via the special bids process. I don't have a clue how one does that; contact your IBM or Business Partner for advice. Have a good one. C. Lawrence Perkins wrote: Yes, if ISPF wasn't on your SDO tapes, you'll need to order it.
