Reaction of z/VM when losing a page dataset

2009-08-31 Thread Florian Bilek
Dear all, I am wondering about the reaction of z/VM in case it would lose one or two page datasets. The reason is that I have a configuration with two DS-8000 where the page datasets are spread all over those two machines. DS-1 has the sysres, spool, and some page datasets and DS-2 it has

I was just wondering how many slots can be added in the system config file? If you are referring to CP_Owned slots, you can define up to 255.You always want to have some slots defined as Reserved, so you can add volumes to the list while your system is running. Hint: Gaps in slot numbers defined

And when you are reading back from tape with multiple volume dumps, use the 'SKIP n' option to position to the correct dump first. From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of Mark Pace Sent: Friday, August 28, 2009 1:55 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU

If you get an I/O error paging out or paging in, I would suspect that z/VM would abend. I would think that by having the paging volumes on both, you would be increasing your odds of a crash by 2x (1 for each ds8000 that could fail). You don't have to replicate your page volumes, but you

You didn't mention what FTP client software you're using. Some make it easier than others, but as you know/suspect - a binary transfer is what you need. Perhaps the FTP client you are using is at fault. There are a number of FTP clients you could try, which a Google search will readily

Now that is intuitive. An interesting effect is that using that method, following it with a pipe file | deblock string x0d0a newfile, the new file still in asci has more bytes than one of the files that had the quotes stripped out. When I try pipe newfile | xlate a2e | file3, there are no
