TCPIP works really nicely using a VSWITCH... at my current location, we've reduced TCPIP's role to the VM stack only -- and share the VSWITCH with Linux guests. We can bounce TCPIP without affecting anyone but the VM sysprogs telnetting in.. I'm a fan of letting the vswitch controllers manage t

I took a slightly different approach to reach a slightly different end, rather than rely on VMSES/E (and perhaps have to refit locally developed processes if VMSES/E changes in the future). Over the years a locally written "COPY2 EXEC" was enhanced to copy local files to the Y-disk, our T-disk

We had a situation where one of our OSA links died, but failover did not occur. It appeared to us that the zVM was not aware that the card was actually "down". This seemed similar to what you were referencing. I could be wrong. From: The IBM z/VM Operatin

Shimon, Stop the interface with IFCONFIG VSECM DOWN first. It turns out that IFCONFIG doesn't use the actual device status to decide whether an interface is UP or DOWN...it considers a device UP if it has usable routes (i.e. it can actually send traffic). We should probably change that :-) Reg

You install the new VM release, can be done under your existing VM. Then you take over your own stuff from your old VM and integrate it in the new VM. If you use VM only as host for guests (like Linux), most of this work is taking over the CP directory definitions of the guests. The installation
