Re: VSE/ESA 2.6.1 and z9 BC

[Daniel Allen]

Here is from the archives (around 12/20/2006):

 You probably need some VSE PTF's

At minimum  you need 


DY45944 

HARD WAIT during IPL of VSE on z990 or z890 processors.
WAITFFF WAITFED
.
Note: this APAR is required to run VSE/ESA 2.5 and 2.6 on
  a z990 (D/T 2084) or z890 (D/T 2086) system.


The problem is that you need to bring up VSE to apply the maintenace...


This should have been uncovered during the Z9 Systems Assurance

People,

I've tried to run VSE/ESA 2.6.1 as a guest of zVM 4.3 on a z9 BC. zVM
4.3=
 
came up ok but I got an abend of VSE/ESA when loading the supervisor.
The=
 
message is: SYSTEM ENTERED HARD WAIT SYSTEM DETERMINED ERRO= R.
I've heard that is necessary to install the APARs DY45944 and DY45958 on
VSE/ESA 2.6.1 before switching to a z990 or z890. Does anybody know if
th= e APARs work for a z9 BC?

Thanks

Prado

Hello Antonio,

We are running VSE/ESA 2.6.1 on z/VM 4.3 but on the Z890.
We do have Dy45944 via PTF UD52329.

We do not have any problems with the Z890.  

Please note that I applied every ptf I could find that was
related to 
the Z890-zVM 4.3 and VSE/ESA 2.6.1.   We were behind here until I came
on board.  

I have be applying fixes since and have been pushing for z/VM
5.x and 
z/VSE 3.x.   I have the z/VSE going in.
