Hello,
I meet the following error installing z/VM 5.3 from dvd on 3 x
10GB SCSI disks . This happens near the end of INSTDVD exec. Could that
be the that 10GB is too small for 530RES + W01/W02 ?

No zSeries Machines provide 370 mode (370 mode got removed in some of
te latest 9672 generations). To be able to use a MACHINE 370, 370
mode must be provided by the HW, Running VM/ESA as guest of z/VM will
not help.

You can add the minidisk to the users directory, then use the CP LINK

either by logging on the the virtual machine via the 3270 interface or

If this is indeed what you did you'll want to remove the volume from the

Is it possible to take advantage of HyperPAV with SLES9/10? I realize
that HyperPAV is not directly supported by the kernel versions available
in SLES, so it looks like we're stuck with static aliases.
So, what I'd like to do is define a bunch of HyperPAV aliases for z/VM
to manage and then

Thanks to all who have responded to this post. There are many interesting ideas that I can present to the upgrade team. I know that I have brought this subject up before as someone mentioned but at that time, it was mainly for OS upgrade (where I was concerned about 370 mode) on our current
Look the GCC compiler I built on VM/370 R6 runs fine in 370 mode in zVM5.2,
as do many of the other application built on that platform. You only need to
worry about real 370 mode if you application issues 370 mode specific
instructions, typically SIO , SIOF etc. or wants to run with a BCMODE PSW.

The phrase 370 mode in zVM5.2 doesn't make sense. There is no 370
microcode on any machine on which you can run z/VM 5.2. Further, if there
Each control unit can be in either Hyperpav or static PAV mode; not both.
Therefore, you can define MDISK E100 with 3 virtual static PAV alias
devices, but E100 must be associated with a real device that is on a
controller in static PAV mode.
Also, there must be 3 real alias devices on that
If the user wants to give the Linux guest a full volume mini disk, you can also
use the DEVNO format of the MDISK statement in the directory. This avoids any
concern regarding the real volume's volume serial number.
