VM Operator not receiving

Hi, I have problem with sending messages to operator. For example after sending test msg: msg operator test HCPMFS057I TCPIP not receiving; disconnected Ready(00057); T=0.01/0.01 08:28:00 Why TCPIP ? Both TCPIP and Operator are dsc. Operator

The z/VM evaluation edition is a fully functional and customizable z/VM system that boots from DVD. It requires a z10 though. This usage is probably not covered by the licensing terms and conditions - but I'm not going to be the judge of that! Using it this way came up another time in a

That's an interesting idea.. I guess ideally I'm looking for something that IPLs a starter system from DVD with enough smarts to restore DDR images that are on the DVD to DASD. That would sure be a slick way to bring up a new z10 with an already customized, configured, etc zVM system - just

I see no indication that the message was rejected for OPERATOR. Do not forget that VM:Operator is usually in control of the OPERATOR console. It filters what gets displayed on the console. TCPIP is a different beast. By design, it does not accept messages. Regards, Richard Schuh

Re: Trace I/O for a 3490 tape drive

2009-06-18 Thread Schuh, Richard
The problem is that the operating system does not know how to mount a VTAPE. In the MVS world, there was what was known as a DCB Exit that could be activated at EOV and EOF. It could be taught to determine the type of tape and either do a VTMOUNT (VTAPE) or VMTAPE MOUNT (real tape) at EOV. But

We have VSE IMODS in place to issue the VTMOUNT command when we see the request to mount another tape. We did receive a response to our query though it isn't a complete solution. Thanks for the reply Richard. Jim Hughes 603-271-5586 It is fun to do the impossible.

It sounds like what is needed here is for IBM to simply document the processes they used to create the evaluation edition of z/VM 5.3. I admit it would be handy to be able to make an IPL-able z/VM DVD as part of a DR plan. Alan Altmark wrote: On Thursday, 06/18/2009 at 11:08 EDT, Scott

The desire to have a DVD-based DR system would be a good requirement to levy against IBM Backup and Restore for z/VM. Wilder idea: how about a PXEboot based system? If the HMC could issue a PXEboot request for a particular LPAR, then you could set up a TFTP server on your choice of systems
