VM:Backup HiDRO is adept at creating full volume backups. I assume since you said disaster recovery you mean to tape and offsite. When you get to your disaster site, you IPL a HiDRO tape, which does the restores of the system packs. You can then IPL the system to restore the rest of the

Easy Alan, it was a joke, and I realize that z/VM is probably among the last group in IBM able to default to the latest machine instructions, due to the need to support those with older hardware. Wayne Driscoll Product Developer NOTE: All opinions are strictly my own. -Original

Glen, The sad reality (despite my tongue in cheek comment to Alan, and that you probably know) is that reading output of compilers is the worst way to learn assembler. Since you only see the code to actually perform the operation in the program, while all the environment set up is already done

Hi I IPL'ed both of my z/VM 5.3 LPARS on Sunday. After the VAL/DEV LPAR was brought up I started to logon and IPL the Linux guests. I had no problems on this LPAR. Now, after I IPL'ed the PROD LPAR I started to bring up the PROD Linux guests. This time when I logged on the guests the

Terry, check the following: IOCDS definitions for the second LPAR. Was a new IOCDS created? SYSTEM CONFIG file for the PROD LPAR AUTOLOG1 Profile exec and all profile execs involved in bringing up the z/VM system in PROD LPAR Something must have been changed. I'm betting on the IOCDS.

Look in your system config file you used to IPL your production system and make sure there are values for all your user volumes which cause them to be attached to your system at IPL time They will look something like this, I use wild cards because we have a naming convention associated with each
