Re: Tape IPL failure
Bobby, I'm glad you got past your issue, I'm surprised you received both tape and DVD for install... One question after you get z/VM installed can you test that tape again. Just to see if it was a tape issue. regards Phil Tully Bauer, Bobby (NIH/CIT) [E] wrote: We gave up on the tape IPL and did the install from DVD.

Are you using the integrated 3270 console for your installation? Is the tape drive online to that LPAR? Are the packs online to that LPAR? On the LOAD panel did you use the Load address of your tape drive? Did you use a Load parameter of CNSLSCLP or SYSG ? good luck Bill Munson VM System Programmer Office of Information Technology State of New Jersey (609) 984-4065 President MVMUA http://www.marist.edu/~mvmua Bauer, Bobby (NIH/CIT) [E] wrote: Hi list, we just received our z/VM trial tape and are having a bit of a problem IPLing it.

Re: Tape IPL failure
I only asked for a tape but both showed up! Good though about trying to read the tape later. I'll give that a try even though we did run a fatar on the tape with no problems.
