Re: Question regarding zVM and CF when running in a LPAR
David,
Isn't the problem that the virtual CF machines are not responding?
If that is the case, then I don't understand why the IOCP would be
involved... it's all virtual. During initialization following the
XAUTOLOG, the virtual CF machine is supposed to read the actual CF code
from the HMC - the same place that the real CFs load their code.
If you are getting time-outs during virtual CF initialization, perhaps
there's something happening on the HMC during the XAUTOLOG. Or maybe a
problem with the micro-code on the HMC. How up-to-date is the microcode
on that z9? Or as mentioned before some configuration not set
properly on the HMC (go back to the Running Guest Operating Systems
manual?)
I'm doing nothing more than what most everyone else is doing... guessing
from a remote vantage point. It's a bit like remote viewing in the
movie Men Who Stare at Goats. (bahh-ahh) :-)

Re: Question regarding zVM and CF when running in a LPAR
Mike,
I'm investigating just those points you mentioned. However, the z9 is in
England and the remote web-app for the HMC isn't cooperating very well at the
moment :(
I've contacted my guys over there and we'll be checking the microcode updates
as well as profiles on the HMC to see if there's anything glaring for that
LPAR.
I appreciate all the remote viewing because that's exactly what I'm doing
with a z9 not too far from Stonehenge and I'm here in Chicago :)
Thanks for your help.

Question regarding zVM and CF when running in a LPAR
Am I understanding correctly that the CFUSER virtual machines that you can run when z/VM is running natively and now be run in zVM when running in an LPAR? This was added in zVM 5.4?
Re: Question regarding zVM and CF when running in a LPAR
We've been running CFUSER virtual machines (albeit with different userids) in an LPAR since at least z/VM 4.3, perhaps even earlier.

Hmmm...then I wonder what this is all about. I'd really like to get this working: 09:40:56 XAUTOLOG CFCC4 09:40:56 COMMAND ACCEPTED 09:40:56 AUTO LOGON *** CFCC4USERS = 16BY OPERATOR CFCC4 : HCPMFT2816I LOADING MESSAGE PROCESSOR CFCC4 FROM THE PROCESSOR CONTROL LER. 09:43:32 SEND CFCC4 HELP CFCC4 : HCPPCX6531E THE OPERATING SYSTEM WILL NOT ACCEPT COMMANDS FROM THE SER VICE PROCESSOR.

This was added in zVM 5.4? There has never been a restriction on using virtual coupling in an LPAR. The only thing that is required is that the machine be licensed for Coupling Facility, which, IIRC, is demonstrated by the presence of at least one coupling link on the box. (But that may have changed over the years) If the machine is not licensed for CF, then virtual CF cannot be used. What IS relatively new is that if you are running in a z/VM mode LPAR, then you can have real CF engines in the z/VM LPAR and virtual CFs will be dispatched on real CFs.

Re: Question regarding zVM and CF when running in a LPAR
Yes, I see what you see on my zVM 4.4 system running on my z800 here in Chicago, but the z10 in the UK runs zVM in an LPAR and gives the strange messages indicated below. I saw Alan's response, but I'm unsure how to proceed. I know they are running CFs in LPARs on the z10, so I don't think it's a licensing issue... Is it just a matter of exposing the CF processors to the zVM LPAR? Is this a requirement for zVM 5.3? No, the CF inside of zVM on this z10 has never been tried before. I want to get it working so I can test my DB2 version 10 SYSPLEX there, because DB2 won't run on my z800 here in Chicago. My messages are cryptic at best. I particularly like the one I got back from trying to SEND the CF machine as message while it was supposedly loading. 09:40:56 XAUTOLOG CFCC4 09:40:56 COMMAND ACCEPTED 09:40:56 AUTO LOGON *** CFCC4USERS = 16BY OPERATOR CFCC4 : HCPMFT2816I LOADING MESSAGE PROCESSOR CFCC4 FROM THE PROCESSOR CONTROL LER. 09:43:32 SEND CFCC4 HELP CFCC4 : HCPPCX6531E THE OPERATING SYSTEM WILL NOT ACCEPT COMMANDS FROM THE SERVICE PROCESSOR.

HELP HCP2814E tells you to try again, but that if it fails repeatedly to open a PMR.
