Re: Redbooks Rumor
Unfortunately I can confirm that it's true. So many techies rely on these Redbooks that are far more in depth and informative than any standard IBM manual has ever been! Send a complaint to your nearest IBM Rep! Terry Madge Senior Technical Consultant TES Enterprise Solutions -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port On Behalf Of Neale Ferguson Sent: 29 October 2021 03:03 To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Redbooks Rumor I am hearing strong rumors that IBM is about to commit the type of corporate facepalm that is the stuff for future textbooks. Apparently Redbooks are no longer going to be a thing and the organization disbanded. If there’s one thing that has differentiated IBM in the mainframe space has been the quality of its documentation and, in particular, the type of HOW-TO information contained within Redbooks and Redpieces. These documents turn a “that’d be nice to do” into a proof-of-concept and finally into production. In doing so, they must be responsible for millions or billions of dollar in revenue to IBM. Many of the topics of Redbooks cover are complex and even intimidating. They provide a step-by-step approach to learning and implementing using a group of people actually doing what they’re writing about. This is invaluable. I hope these rumors are untrue but if not I think we should all be shouting from the roof until someone with some sense realizes how shortsighted this decision is.

The bootloader only uses 0x06, 0x41, 0x42, 0x43 and 0x63 for FBA. Also I was unable to reproduce this issue on my system but one of our tester reported he was able to do so. I will try to investigate what happens.

Ubuntu under z/VM Installation / IPL problem

This would probably be better asked on the IBMVM mailing list, but I'm guessing it has something to do with the topology/polarization settings on your z/VM system.
