OSA configurations

This is probably a dumb question, but I don't know the answer... Is it possible for a single OSA port to be a part of 3 different network types (trusted, private and public)? In other words, can it be set up to use IPL addresses in the range of the trusted, private and public? If so, what would

In short, yes. The port would be set up as a trunk port so that all the traffic can reach it. After that, traffic for the IP addresses registere d to the OSA card by TCP stacks on the mainframe will be delivered to their appropriate TCP stack, thus achieving whatever security access you've

VM SPOOL question

2006-10-13 Thread William Boyer
My VM SPOOL is at 74% used. Normally I run a REXX/PIPE that does a Q RDR EXP and calculates the blocks used by each user and gives me a list of the top 10. Normally this comes close to what the Q SPOOL ALLOC shows. However, today the two are off by a large amount: * Source Available Num

I don't think those files are holding any space, they are open for a system dump should one occur. You say you've checked RDR and PRT, have you looked to PUN? There are a number of ways things can end up there and I always manage to overlook it when I'm checking. That's one of the

Those files are the files created for system dumps - 1 for a soft abend dump, the other for a full dump. They will always be carved out of the spool system at IPL unless you SET DUMP OFF (a bad idea). Many shops create a full pack disk dedicated to the dump function so that (a) there will

Those files are for the CP dump. Perhaps in the past you didn't have DUM P turned on. Doing a Q DUMP will tell you how many SPOOL pages are reserve d for the CP DUMP. The SET DUMP command is used to turn DUMP on or off and to where. Brian Nielsen On Fri, 13 Oct 2006 11:55:01 -0400,

If you have another pack that you can use, I would suggest formatting it, allocating it a SPOL pack, and designating it as a dump pack in your system config. That 91% that you see for Z52SP2 is mostly allocated for DUMP. You have, in effect, a 1-pack SPOOL system plus the DUMP files. Since

SPOOLCHN is great for diagnosing problems in spool and for determining which spool files have blocks allocated on a given pack. It does take a long time to run on a spool system that has 10 packs and over 10,000 spool files. It is not stand-alone. There is another package, I forget its name, on

Yeah, I know what it means. I was just not expecting the size reserved for the dump to *grow* when I did the SET DUMP DASD. I have no intentions to allocate another SPOOL volume. We run only Linux guests and there's little demand for spool space. The other thing of interest is that since
