z/VM 5.4 Installation from DVD Failure - PJBR
Hi all, We are currently installing a second-level z/VM via DVD installation and we are getting this error when issuing the command: pipe ftpget -h ipaddr -u user -p password -d ftpdir -v BEF -DVDEOF -f CKD222* | unpack | eckdrest CKD222* DMSRXS1408W File TCPIP DATA * not found ECKDREST: WARNING: 75 TRACKS WERE RESTORED AND 75 ADDITIONAL TRACKS WERE CLEARED ECKDREST: WROTE 150 TRACKS ON , RC=1 Ready(1); Has anyone an idea of what the problem could be ? We haven't been able to locate the error and find a solution. Thanks in advance, José R. Barón Dpto. Sistemas CALCULO S.A.

I tried to do it from the quick ref guide and found that it was missing some of the steps that you need (and are only in the real book). IIRC this looks like the original disk was 5 cyl and yours is 10, and that the RC=1 is an indication that it went fine.. Access the mini disk and see what's there and whether it looks reliable. If it was initially empty and now has a lot of files, then you're probably good to go. Rob
Re: z/VM 5.4 Installation from DVD Failure - PJBR
Rob, just a quick note. The size for minidisk must be EXACTLY of 5 cyl. Not less AND NOT MORE :-) if more than 5 cyl. are defined you get RC=1. This goes too with the other disks that must be EXACTLY of: - Minidisk 22CC: 5 cyl. - Minidisk 2CF1: 120 cyl. BRGDS and thank you again for your help. José R. Barón Dpto. Sistemas CALCULO S.A.

Re: z/VM 5.4 Installation from DVD Failure - PJBR
Hi Rob. Yes, I have looked into my disk and it varied from being empty to be filled with lots of files (67 files to be more accurate). I suppose this is no big problem, but just wanted to make sure. (The old costume to look for RC=0's). I will take your advise and go on. Thanks for your help once again. BRGDS, José R. Barón Dpto.

I tried to do it from the quick ref guide and found that it was missing some of the steps that you need (and are only in the real book). You mean the missing 22cc and 2cf1 disks, or something else? That *was* sort of annoying, wasn't it? Not hard if you already have an idea of what is being done to construct the 2d-level primer system, but if you were a newbie, I can see how it would leave you baffled. And of course if you are (shock, horror) editing your user directory by hand then just adding the appropriate disks could be much harder than it was for me. If it hasn't been done already, could MAINT's default directory entry please be updated to include , 2CF1, 22CC ? Surely the HOPE is that a z/VM customer will go on to install a later version someday Adam

Enough for me to actually file a RCF to tell them that the summary had almost all the step, except missing this one. And no indication as that it was not complete. I'm not sure that had the effect I was hoping for. After a few false starts, I ended up using count lines | cons instead of eckdrest to find out how large the disk was supposed to be. It really does not have to be in MAINT - you don't want to run the 2nd level system in MAINT anyway, so why mess with things. It's also only needed briefly in the process, so for me 3 T-disks would be fine. And in theory when you ship the GA of z/VM 5.4 you don't know upfront how large the payload for those disks will be in the next release... And I don't think you really need the three disks - it could have been enough just to ship a single disk to bootstrap the process. Rob

I would be surprised if /22CC ever needed to be anything other than 5 cyls. I made a 120-cyl 2CF1 because I assumed it was a shadow CF1 and that's 120 cyls on my 5.3 system. I agree that T-disk would be fine, and, yes, it seems as if putting that all on the same disk would make life easier. Adam
