Hi,
I have occasionally had an OSA go down, as happened today.
Here are the messages I got from user TCPIP on the operator
console:

Seems that Oliver North got in trouble because there were off-site
backups. Seems like that minor problem (having off-site backups) got
fixed.

Yes, a manual restart does help.
I log in through a different connection and do
IFCONFIG SGLAN UP
That is what I want PROP to do too.

Shimon,
I write VM:Operator macroes instead of PROP execs but this looks as if two

The first would key off the DTCOSD309W message and set a session globalv

The second would key of the DTCQDI001I message to check the time stamp in the

Hi, Tim.
I think what your are looking for is the VMSSL server. It can secure
Telnet (TN3270) sessions to your z/VM system quite nicely, and it is
supported on your release of VM. You can read more about it in Chapter
22 of the TCP/IP Planning and Customization Guide.

Hi Folks,
Does anyone know of a way to mount for reading/writing under CMS a share
on a remote server? This document:
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg245330.html
talks about Samba for VM/ESA - and says there is a Samba freeware
package for VM/ESA that can be downloaded from the
Neale Ferguson ported an old release of SAMBA to OpenVM years ago.
That would give you a server on VM to which you could map from Windows.
There is also, of course, the VM NFS server,
which would let you mount VM content onto Linux or Unix.

Hello List,
I'm reviewing the installation requirements for the DFSMS/VM feature. I

result, the SFS subsystem is not active or configured.

You have server support for SSL-wrapped telnet, via a Linux guest. The
telnet client on VM doesn't gain that support until 5.3. The option you
reference is just what you want the 5.3 client to default - secure or
plaintext telnet. You still need the Linux guest, etc.
You do not have to install VM into SFS in order to have the ability to
use SFS for other purposes. Did you run INSTVM, SERVICE and PUT2PROD as
specified in the Installation Guide? If so, the needed machines have
been built. Do you allow AUTOLOG1 to run when you IPL? It usually starts

Use the CMS NFS client. It makes the remote system look like a BFS to
CMS (with all the BFS weirdness that that implies).
Oh, an easy one:-)
Go grab the SNA VMSSL enabler tool. It will save you a lot of headaches,
imho. Look on: www.sinenomine.net for more details on how to get it, etc.
