Tape drive address ownership

I have a question regarding ownership of a tape address when more than one system has access to the control unit. It is my understanding that since the time of the 3480 control unit, a switch or electronic latch is set in the CU when an address is ATTACHed (VM) or ALLOCated (MVS) and that the

Re: Off Subject Programming and retraining

I can agree with all that has been said but can also rebuke most of it even with my limited knowledge. The VB Studio product is a reasonable attempt to set standards for the programming model. I've been told it looks a lot like Websphere Studio. I agree that the exam is no means to measure

I would like to see a copy of your code. I have to built an eject process for our IFL and would like to consider such an automatic ejection. Thanks for your help. /Tom Kern On Mon, 15 May 2006 07:55:28 +0300, Shimon Lebowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] w rote: We do it with no exits, and in fact, with

Virtual memory implementation in S/370

(I wrote) VAX uses a two level system where page tables are paged. There is kernel space, which isn't paged and holds the first level tables referencing pagable second level tables. z/Archtecture has three levels. (someone else wrote) Actually, z/Architecture has 5 levels. So far, the

Upgrading zVM 5.1 to 5.2

OK, I have ordered service to upgrade our z/VM from 5.1 to 5.2. (At least, I think I have. I got two 3480 cartridges containing UM97520.) I don't see a 5.2 version of the "Guide for Automated Installation and Service." I'm assuming I should use the one for 5.1. After all, I'm actually

Re: Upgrading zVM 5.1 to 5.2

Title: Message I may have confused the issue as I was thinking 3480, not 3490. If both tapes are marked "5.2.0 Stacked RSU", then it does sound like an RSU (PUT is old school). There should be tapes marked "DDR something" with a 5.2.0 install. -Original Message-From: The IBM
