TOKEN RING setup for remote 6262 printer

2006-06-26 Thread william JANULIN
To list(s): Has anyone ever set up a Token Ring network on VM/TCPIP in order to drive a 6262 printer that is defined as a COAX attached printer on a VSE guest machine. As this is all new to me, I am trying to find the piece I need to put the network together. Any help or examples that anyone

LU 6.2 without a 3745?

2006-06-26 Thread Strasser, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
My SNA networking folks tell me that all our 3745s are going away because the hardware is going out of support. We plan to use CTCs to connect VM/VTAM to an MVS system to route RJE, and most terminal sessions are already TN3270. But we also have a CMS application that uses AVS to talk

Isnt the CTC between VM/VTAM and MVS a PU4/5? Itll burn CPU like crazy compared to doing the routing in the 3745, but it should work. David Boyes Sine Nomine Associates From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Strasser, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Volume with minidisks has no allocation information

2006-06-26 Thread Nix, Robert P.
Only slightly off topic, but long ago, just to see what would happen, we allocated an MVS dataset, and then mapped a CMS minidisk over the dataset's allocation, and everyone was still happy and running. As long as everyone agrees to what's been done, there shouldn't be any fussing. --

VM/VTAM doesnt do EE, and CCL would either a) burn CPU on the std engine side, or b) burn CPU on an IFL, which we dont know if he has (and is still $125K). In either case (a or b), those CPU cycles are pretty pricy. As Alan said, native APPN would also be an option, and VM/VTAM does do

Re: Volume with minidisks has no allocation information

2006-06-26 Thread Tom Duerbusch
Works fine, for now. Just overlaying minidisks (or a minidisk over a full pack minidisk), will work just fine, until the other side tried to write on it. In this case, if you do a CMS Format, your MVS file will be wiped out. If the mdisk doesn't overlay the MVS VTOC, MVS will still report the

I remember hearing about a site that had ALL of its VM volumes available to its MVS system and had MVS datasets for every minidisk defined. They had all of the CP areas listed as minidisks too (Checkpoint, Directory, Page, Spool, etc). I think they did FDR backups and were able to restore full
