Does anyone know if they have updated the z/VM cookbook for 5.3 yet? I assume you mean The Virtualization Cookbook. Not yet. I installed 5.3 using the 5.2 recipes and the two are almost identical. We do hope to get both the latest books for SLES 10 and RHEL 5 on linuxvm.org/present converted

Depending on what options your site chooses to use (PerfKit, Dirmaint, RACF, etc.) configuring z/VM 5.3 can take a lot more time than the installation step. Michael MacIsaac wrote: Does anyone know if they have updated the z/VM cookbook for 5.3 yet? I assume you mean The Virtualization

Ghost users on z/VM 5.2

2007-09-11 Thread Hooker, Don
Thanks for the replies. And thanks for the TRACK commands, Mike. I use TRACK all the time but mostly for viewing consoles. TRACK shows an active I/O to a VSWITCH connected to an OSAX. I am reluctant to do a HALT on that device as I do not know if it would impact other users of the VSWITCH.

We have a situation where a virtual machine, VSEDEV2, was forced. This virtual machine was using a virtual switch, DTCVSW2, via a NIC using virtual addresses e00, e01, and e02. Track indicates VSEDEV2 is waiting for I/O on virtual address E02. We have production vse images as well as the Z/VM

Hello Everyone, Is it possible that the PC that can not connect can be rebooted? (It what you do with a PC). In the TN3270 you may have LU or PORT name that is being kept in memory for that connection, so you can not start another one until that LU/PORT in memory has been

The only thing I have to go on right now is the output of the TRACK command. It only shows IO for VSEDEV2 on E02. No other I/O's are active or pending. I would look somewhere else if I knew where to look. Jim Hughes 603-271-5586 There's no sense in being precise

Jim, Terminating the TCP/IP partition in VSE should shutdown the OSA interface. TCP/IP partition shutdown (in either vendors product) should cause a call to be made to the $IJBOSA with a terminate function. If the OSA is running in OSA/2 mode then a simple SVC 25 is used to halt the I/O operation
