Title: Coping the RES volume
Hello Everyone,
Is there away to copy a SYSRES volume and make it usable without doing the CPformat first?
Or do I have to do a COPY ALL?
I did a COPY CPVOL and am having a problem putting my alternate directory on line.

Jim, this may indeed account for what I was seeing. Even after verifying
that I had written an XF-NL tape, TAPEMAP reported 38K once I re-wrote a
label. But I verified the amount of data/length of tape was identical to
when it reported XF.

Is there a way to detect the processor

Yes there is, James. Create a new guest virtual machine, and attempt to
IPL z/OS in it. If z/OS comes up, then your z/VM system is running on
standard processors, if not, then it's on IFL ones.;-)

Even better, the Velocity HDR report shows what processor type you're
running on:

Ed--The most sure way to copy SYSRES or any volume on VM is to use
DDR. If you are concerned about getting a super clean copy, shut
down the system the input volume is on and either copy from another
system, or use the stand alone DDR program. Even without that,
however, all you will do is have

Hello Mike and Jim,
Thanks for the response. I am making a second level machine.
Pretty much the same as the others I have made.
IPLs clean and I am doing well.
It just seems to me that COPY CPVOL should get all the required
CP stuff. I keep forgetting that COPY
I dont feel the question was answered properly. The user wanted to
know if running in an IFL could be determined say from REXX. Is
there some flag or system variable that might indicate the lpar is an
IFL or not?
What if a site does not have a ZOS guest to ipl.
I do know if you attempt
And with an ESAMON macro - written in REXX, you can obtain
this data. Even zMON would have this capability (I say zMON
because that is a very low cost solution)

Barton's correct...I had forgotten that the Velocity suite of products
can tell you information about the LPAR configuration.
Of course, if IBM ever changes the rules and allows different engine
types to be in the same LPAR, the problem changes considerably:-)

The data comes from the monitor, I think it is this record:

I think that the intent was to tell you it was possible, not that he has a
macro that he won't give to you. Users can write ESAMON macros.

Help with this rexx macro would of course be part of
normal customer support. should be posted shortly.
And the architecture supports identifying all the processor
types. haven't seen ziip/zaap data yet, but expect them
easily identified.

I started collecting data(per the book) as we are going to be using the
perfkit. I configured the monwrite profile to collect data and we looked
at the dir and saw we had 90cyls to write data to. We started monwrite an

If you're filling up a 90 cyl disk in one hour, you are probably collecting
a lot more types of monitor data than you need. I started with MONWRITE

collects enough of it's own to fill in the blanks.

If you have Toolkit running, MONDAT is the command to see what data
is collected and how much of each. You don't have to have MONWRITE

I am curious as to why you care about whether you
are running on an IFL or not?
One example - a couple years we got our first IFL and were all excited.
Shortly thereafter we found out that Operations had defined our IFL LPAR
to use standard engines. %-)

Im going to ask a dumb question . Did
you do a cpfmtxa to label the disk? I have dumped(not copied) and restored vols
using this method.

Of course, you can always take the Linux kernel approach. See arch/s390/head.S
(2.6 kernel). Your interested in the sclp code at label .Lrcp2. It won't work
on an IFL processor.
