Re: Please tell me I did something stupid
For my two cents I have never used the quick guide. I read through it, but always open the book. Just a comfort factor I guess. I do agree though that seperating 1st and 2nd level instructions is a much better approach that skipping sections. Maybe a flowchart approach might be a good idea. -Original Message- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu]on Behalf Of william JANULIN Sent: Wednesday, March 18, 2009 8:06 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: Please tell me I did something stupid I agree.when I was working, I used the quick guides, knowing full well that there was a more detailed install doc available.just in case. --- On Wed, 3/18/09, Mike Hammock wrote: > From: Mike Hammock > Subject: Re: Please tell me I did something stupid > To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU > Date: Wednesday, March 18, 2009, 8:04 AM > It sounds like this may come under > the heading of "beating a dead horse", > but that has never stopped VM Sysprogs before, so > I've used the Quick Guides for 5 or 6 zVM installs so far > and I don't think > I've ever used an IBM printed hard copy of them yet. > I've always printed a > copy from the .PDF files.

Re: Please tell me I did something stupid
It sounds like this may come under the heading of "beating a dead horse",
but that has never stopped VM Sysprogs before, so
I've used the Quick Guides for 5 or 6 zVM installs so far and I don't think
I've ever used an IBM printed hard copy of them yet. I've always printed a
copy from the .PDF files. It would be fine with me if IBM did not even
supply a hard copy version. That takes care of any expense issue with
non-standard sized paper. (I frequently print other materials on "legal"
sized paper and have no problem with doing so. I suspect other users feel
the same way.)
Of course, the paper and font size issues could be eliminated by breaking
the DVD guide into two versions: 1st level DVD and 2nd level DVD. (The
tape install is already in a separate quick guide). Each of these could
easily fit on a standard sheet using a larger font. Yes, this would create
another, new, document and it could be argued that this would increase the
cost... but As mentioned before, don't print any of them. Make them
available electronically (only). That also makes it possible to update
them much easier if the need arises. If you want to make sure that users
are aware of the Quick Guides, put a one-sheet notice in with the other
shipped materials providing the URLs for the downloadable guides.

I appreciate the sentiments. We are not particularly happy about getting
rid of them, but their time had come. In order to keep it to "one page",
the page was going to have to grow to a non-standard piece of paper
because the font was too small, both from an IBM printing standards
perspective and based on complaints from sysprogs. Non-standard = more
costly to produce.
We will instead supply some sort of abbreviated installation/service
procedure as part of the book. It won't skip steps, but neither will it
have the voluminous explanations of the primary text.

Non-standard = more > costly to produce. Alan, If these arguments really had any influence on the decision, then I think you're really far off... What we are happy about is the amount of text on that summary, not the physical and logistical issues when it is printed. Let alone the idea that we would need IBM to print it. I expect most VM sysprogs will have someone in the family who heard about this new thing called Internet and could download the PDF. And if printing will result in 3-4 pages, fine. How many of us have bothered to print in double-sided? Oh, and printing these days is electronic. There is hardly the issue of the IBM Printing Department needing to keep a supply of genuine fonts in lead and sufficient pairs of pliers to place those... Even if you would have a hand-written document it could be reproduced. I think the summary describes 3 different routes: tape, 1st level DVD and 2nd level DVD. It would have been more clear to order the content in "row major" so that you use just on of the 3 sections in it. What troubled me with it was that it missed vital steps in the process, and did not even refer to a section in the book that would have to be checked there. The other part that kept me busy was one step that was deliberately omitted since it happened by magic; would have been nice to explain that you don't have to pick up the RSU when it is merged in before. Bad idea to throw them away. But I would be happy with a "summary" chapter in the book that has the scenario for those who are not completely new to z/VM installation. Rob

I find that "skipping around" the "other" parts causes more problems than

Because there's only so much you can put on one page and have it remain
legible, the Quick Guides are going away. As this illustrates, they have
outlived their usefulness and now pose a clear and present danger to
society. (Please don't leave a copy of a Quick Install Guide in a crib -

I only tweaked it enough to get a TCPIP stack up and running so that I could FTP the RSU over to it, DETERSE it, and apply service. I've done literally nothing else to the system. 0 * * * Top of File * * * 1 2 SERVICE USERID: MAINT 3 4 Date: 03/17/09Time: 15:30:04 5 6 ST:VMFSRV2195I SERVICE ALL RPTF0168 7 ST:VMFSRV2760I SERVICE processing started 8 ST:VMFSUI2760I VMFSUFIN processing started 9 ST:VMFSUI2760I VMFSUFIN processing started for product 5VMLEN40%LE 00010 ST:VMFSET2760I VMFSETUP processing started for SERVP2P LE 00011 ST:VMFSET2204I Linking MAINT 4C4 as 4C4 with the link mode MR 00012 SV:HCPLNM107E MAINT 04C4 not linked; not in CP directory 00013 SV:VMFSET1965E The command, CP LINK MAINT 4C4 4C4 MR "", failed with 00014 SV:return code 107 00015 ST:VMFSET2204I Linking MAINT 4C2 as 4C2 with the link mode MR 00016 SV:HCPLNM107E MAINT 04C2 not linked; not in CP directory 00017 SV:VMFSET1965E The command, CP LINK MAINT 4C2 4C2 MR "", failed with 00018 SV:return code 107 00019 ST:VMFSET2204I Linking MAINT 4D2 as 4D2 with the link mode MR 00020 SV:HCPLNM107E MAINT 04D2 not linked; not in CP directory 00021 SV:VMFSET1965E The command, CP LINK MAINT 4D2 4D2 MR "", failed with 00022 SV:return code 107 00023 ST:VMFSET2204I Linking MAINT 4A6 as 4A6 with the link mode MR 00024 SV:HCPLNM107E MAINT 04A6 not linked; not in CP directory 00025 SV:VMFSET1965E The command, CP LINK MAINT 4A6 4A6 MR "", failed with 00026 SV:return code 107 00027 ST:VMFSET2204I Linking MAINT 4A4 as 4A4 with the link mode MR 00028 SV:HCPLNM107E MAINT 04A4 not linked; not in CP directory 00029 SV:VMFSET1965E The command, CP LINK MAINT 4A4 4A4 MR "", failed with 00030 SV:return code 107 00031 ST:VMFSET2204I Linking MAINT 4A2 as 4A2 with the link mode MR 00032 SV:HCPLNM107E MAINT 04A2 not linked; not in CP directory 00033 SV:VMFSET1965E The command, CP LINK MAINT 4A2 4A2 MR "", failed with 00034 SV:return code 107 00035 ST:VMFSET2204I Linking MAINT 4B2 as 4B2 with the link mode MR 00036 SV:HCPLNM107E MAINT 04B2 not linked; not in CP directory 00037 SV:VMFSET1965E The command, CP LINK MAINT 4B2 4B2 MR "", failed with 00038 SV:return code 107 00039 ST:VMFSET2760I VMFSETUP processing completed unsuccessfully 00040 SV:VMFSUI1965E The command, VMFSETUP, failed with return code 100 when 00041 SV:issued with the argument(s): SERVP2P LE (LINK NOPROMPT 00042 SV:RETAIN D 00043 ST:VMFSET2760I VMFSETUP processing started for DETACH LE 00044 ST:VMFSET2760I VMFSETUP processing completed successfully 00045 ST:VMFSUI2760I VMFSUFIN processing completed unsuccessfully 00046 ST:VMFSUI1211I An Initial Restart Record has been created for package 00047 ST:RPTF0168 in the System-Level Restart Table 00048 SV:VMFSRV1965E The command, VMFSUFIN, failed with return code 100 when 00049 SV:issued with the argument(s): ALL ( NOPROMPT RSUENV 00050 SV:RPTF0168 00051 WN:VMFSRV2310W Service restart file, SERVICE $RESTART A, has been created 00052 WN:due to errors.
