Extracting an IOCP from the HMC

2009-08-12 Thread Kris Buelens
I inherited a z10 system and tonight I'd need to update the IOCP. The the guy that maintained the system can no longer be reached. The z10 was recently migrated from a z800. On Maint 191, I do find 2 IOCP files with fname Z10-2098 but the filetype is IOCPPREP, and still mentions two LPAR and

The spool can be queried with CP Q ALLOC SPOOL (gives how full the spool extents are) and with CP Q SDF/CP Q FILES to find how many files exist of each spool type and with CP Q RDR/PUN/PRT/NSS/TRF to find the individual files Q LIMITS at the other hand is a CMS command to query about the logical

PTK USRLIMITS by shifts?

2009-08-12 Thread Shimon Lebowitz
Hi, I set up events to change my PTK settings of USRLIMITS according to shifts. The main batch machines are not supposed to be gobbling resources during prime time, but at night they can run wild. So, while the usual USRLIMIT for %CPU is 30, at 17:00 I want to do FC USRLIMIT batchuser %CPU 75

Hi, Sunny. Some sites have guest naming standards (Linux guests are named LIN or LS., etc.) that would allow you to very simply see which guests were running Linux, as opposed to CMS or GCS. If your site doesn't have such a standard, then I'm afraid you're going to have to do this

If IPL device is sufficient, then it is not necessary to install TRACK. The IPL device or system is in the CP IND USER userid response, so a PIPE can be used to count all the userids IPL'ed by device, excluding the IPL 190 userids. -Original Message- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System

That's true, Robert; I had forgotten that the IND command does show the last IPL statementof course, if some knuckle head had installed Linux on a virtual DASD at address 190, then that could pose a problem:-) Hodge, Robert L wrote: If IPL device is sufficient, then it is not

Hi Sunny, Are you Linux guests autologed? If so then just check out the profile exec (or associated exec) for the Linux names there...should be unidentifiable by their IPL device numbers. --- On Wed, 8/12/09, sunny...@wcb.ab.ca sunny...@wcb.ab.ca wrote: From: sunny...@wcb.ab.ca

Strong incentive to make sure that either all of the linux guests IPL from the same virtual address or, at the very least, that none of them has a virtual 190. As long as you are using something fuzzy to make the determination, you can also see the virtual storage in the response to IND USER.

I agree with Mark, why is the Q N command not suitable, maybe I am missing something or don't understand what Sunny is asking. I would just write a simple PIPE grabbing count them and write them to a file or to the console along with the count. Thank You, Terry Martin Lockheed Martin -

And perhaps a set of clarifying questions: 1- do you mean those Linux guests logged on at a particular moment? 2- do you mean Linux guests defined in the directory? 3- do you care which are production, development, test, QA, or sandbox machines? Perhaps if you described the reason for the

A naming convention is probably the simplest way to ensure you get everything.. LNXx or what have you. Anything else is just guessing when it comes down to it, when talking about checking dynamically. You can use PIPE CP Q N | SPLIT AT /,/ | STRIP | FIND LNX| count lines|consif you
