One partial solution to CKD might be MFNETDISK. You would need some real
CKD to get z/OS up and running.
Not sure what the current status of MFNETDISK is, however, I know a few
years back Fundi (Now Rocket) were using MFNETDISK to offload lots of their
SMF and test data and it apparently worked

Enzo,
There is 99% chance that all the required code for the I/O and Crypto features
is on the system. When do a POR (power on reset), the code will be loaded from
the SE.
The reason I say 99% is that the 'code' for Crypto is a separate orderable NO
charge feature. There is a possibility the
I wrote some bare-metal code back in the early 1990's to basically
attempt to do what zzsa and that stand-alone-edit product does. I
stopped working on it when SAE came out but still have the old code
somewhere. Not for the meek, and I'm pretty meek. It was at the edge
of my capability.
You would be correct on this. My switch is fibre only for the 10gig. I got it
at a surplus auction a few years ago. I can connect it to the standard 1 gig
copper links, but I wanted to maximize my speed if possible.
Thank you,
Enzo Damato

Enzo, this might be a good place to start to learn about bare-metal programming.

Good luck to you as well.

I've run into more than a little network hardware that is only one

I have a model 2818 with s/n 02-485F7. I am fairly sure that I have a
relatively low CPU capacity number, and all my unused PCIE card slots have
blank fillers, but 2 of my I/O drawer slots are empty (no card or filler). If
you can do a lookup, I would appreciate it.
Thank you,

Do you know the serial number? It's typically on a small label on the

The RJ45 Ethernet should plug into your network just fine.
As far as bare metal programming Hercules emulator on your PC might be
easier to write and debug with before putting on actual hardware.

Yep. I know all that. Problem is that it'll be next to impossible to get this
file system unmounted since there are many file systems mounted under it that
are being always being used by other systems in the sysplex. It would take
nearly a sysplex IPL to get everything under it dismounted
The copy from the old mount point to the new mount point works while
the original mount point is still in use. You only take an outage to
unmount the old file system and mount the new file system. If you
can' t do this, you can update your IPL mounts and it will happen
during the next shutdown /

Parwez is correct that this is a M05 model, I will let you know what I have in
terms of processor capacity as soon as I finish setting up power and turn it
on. I in terms of my IO card configuration, this is what I currently have in
the box:
2 2 port pcie 8g ficon cards (pcie)
2 2 port rj45
there is a way to remove the enq but I feel it's safer to rename the file from
the (dataset volume list) from 3.4 - then delete
the SETPROG LNKLST,UNALLOCATE command can be issued, but make sure you issue
the
SETPROG LNKLST,ALLOCATE after you are done.

Enzo,
If you really want to do something outstanding (i.e. impress a university
admissions committee), that doesn't require any hardware or operating system
software beyond the z114, consider writing code that runs "on metal." This is
commonly done in engineering for architectures such as ARM.
The picture suggests it's a 2818-M05. Where the 2nd CPC drawer (Making it a
M10) is supposed be, it has 'blanking plates'.

No, he's not right. TSO segment contains "last used" procedure name.
Quotation because it is *usually* last used, but it can be set up by
RACF admin, etc. It is not a proof that user is allowed to use that
procedure. In most cases yes, it is last used procedure and nothing was
changed,
I don’t remember the file number, but the cbttape has a program to delete a
file while ignoring enques.

I get a warning message, I don't recall the exact message but ISPF eventually
tell me I have the authority and allows the rename , eventual delete

Enzo,
Congratulations on your acquisition!
I’m curious if you happen to know yet the physical model (it’ll be either
2818-M05 or 2818-M10) and general capacity details, notably the capacity model,
number/type(s) of specialty engines (if any; IFLs, zIIPs, ICFs), and memory

Hello mainframers,
I'm having trouble deleting some data sets.
In order to apply PTFs to a z/OS system, I copied a system volume. Here is the
JCL used :
//COPY1EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSINDD *
Sorry, I should have mentioned that I'm trying to avoid all that by using the
zfsadm compress command on the mounted file system. Other file systems compress
without this problem showing up.
