I'm now having a problem submitting the PMR. Get the following error.
An error has occurred:

I'll try it again later today then just wait til after the weekend.

Alain,
There is: CP QUERY EDEVICE
But I'm not sure that will give you what you are looking for ...
Especially since you would have first had to have done a SET EDEVICE for
the LUN ... which would mean the devices are attached and active on
z/VM.

SCSIDISC (the SCSI Discovery Tool) is a sample exec which provides target
port and LUN information so one can discover the LUN topology which hangs
off a System z FCP Subchannel.The help file for the tool (SCSIDISC

I'd have to run multiple VM's per frame but wanted to ensure I was
right. My management wants to run some product called HATS on our
VM/MFL world. We recently upgraded from our z/890's with 1 IFL each
to z9BC's with 2
If HATS runs on Linux, then you could have a dedicated Linux guest for
HATS. And in z/VM, you could assign a single virtual CPU to that Linux
instance. That would restrict the HATS Linux system to run on a single
CPU at a time (might switch from CPU to CPU, but only use one).

Yes, HATS run on MainFrameLinux using WAS. So, do I understand you
in that I can assign two IFL's to my VM, and most of my MFL's could

My mistake. The OP did says keep costs down. Which the MACHINE
directive will not do. It would only keep the CPU used by the HATS guest
from exceeding a single IFL. The only way to keep the costs down (i.e.
software licensing fees) is to remove an IFL entirely. I don't think

From a cost perspective, the software companines will charge you for the
number of IFL engines you have on a box in which you run the software.
So if you are running HATS on a single IFL box, you get charged for one copy.
If you run HATS on your dual IFL box, you get charged for two copies.
Note that although this works from a technical point of view, from a
product licensing point of view, it likely would not. Vendors tend to be
very picky when it comes to money, and would likely only be happy if the
product was running in an LPAR with one IFL assigned to it. If the

I will not pretend to know about licensing costs, but be glad you have

On the other side, the cost of HATS on an IFL, on a per engine basis, is the
same as the cost of an Intel engine (right?). So, in other words, the costs
are the same... You just get more on our

Yes, I have forwarded Malcoms' info and links to management to
look at. We are still way to new to VM to consider what I know as

SO, I must ask, are you stating below that I can share a RES vol with
multiple VM LPARs?
Ahh ... yes ... I forgot about the SCSI sniffer :-)

What Tom is talking about is SERVICE one z/VM system then clone only the
