I’m looking for a way to uniquely identify a z/OS instance across multiple
clients/customers. I see that z/OSMF has a get UUID but it appears to be for
the z/OSMF instance and not for each z/OS.
Is anyone aware of a generally accepted way to uniquely identify an instance?
I’m asking because
I wasn’t clear, I’m looking for a means to uniquely identify the instance. I
can gen a UUID but I’m looking to see if there is a generally accepted approach
to uniquely identify a z/OS instance.

Planned for z/OS 3.1, is the capability to correlate a UUID with a running z/OS
system, which can then programmatically retrieve the SMP/E CSI which represents
the running system when used as directed.

The UUID for a z/OS instance is what I’m looking for so this is the right
track. I saw this in the z/OSMF doc but it appeared to be tied to the z/OSMF
z/OS instance for service, not a UUID for each instance in a Syplex. Perhaps
Marne will see this chain and respond.

Hi all, this is a basic request, but I can't seem to find anything about
it and hope you can help this poor old soul!
I would like to be able to generate a list of SMS classes, data,
management, and storage classes, and the attributes with them, that I
could somehow parse in a Rexx program.
Billy,
1. Run DCOLLECT
2. Use that as INPUT to DFSORT and filter it based on your requirements.

I'm with Tony, what's your definition of a z/OS instance and what makes one
unique compared to
You may know that you can use ISMF in ISPF to view and query SMS classes. You
can have it write the result to a file.
You can also run ISMF in batch. This interface is call NaviQuest.
It is fairly complicated to use. The documentation is in z/OS DFSMSdfp Storage
Administration Guide.
The basi
It’s a good question. Perhaps I was too deep in my own problem.
z/OS as an instance to me is a sysplex.sysname.smfid which would uniquely
identify that instance. It could be IPL’d on different CECs but its still the
same “instance”. So data is related to that instance of z/OS.
z/OS does no
IBM Customer number? You would have to manually retrieve from each
customer then apply to their records. And customer number may apply
to the service provider and not the individual customers they support.

Thanks for the input.
I understand the constraints described by the other posters. I was hoping for
something that was indigenous for the OS in a similar way to how z/OSMF was
managing it but as y’all pointed , they rolled their own and it doesn’t fit.
My current experiments are a tenant.ple
