Re: spool file data

Another application by the VMSG author was parasite/story. It used the PVM logical device/3270 facility and had a HLLAPI type scripting language (before the advent of ibm/pc) ... it was after REX was available internally. Another remarkable thing was that the executable was small enough to fit

3390-9's for paging

2009-12-01 Thread O'Brien, Dennis L
Our storage architect is trying to get us to use 3390-9's instead of 3390-3's for paging. I know that z/VM doesn't use PAV or HyperPAV for paging, and that more devices means more concurrent I/O's. Has anyone actually tried changing from 3390-3's to one-third as many 3390-9's? If you have,

We went from -3s to -9s, but not to 1/3 as many. We converted because we (a) ran out of page space, and (b) needed to fit within the limits for the CP_Owned list. We actually went to more -9s than the number of -3s that we were using. Since then, we have not had as great a load on the system as

Just have a look at how busy your current page packs are today. Then we can predict something. (eg if you hardly ever page, you will not notice a difference) 2009/12/1 O'Brien, Dennis L dennis.l.o'br...@bankofamerica.comdennis.l.o%27br...@bankofamerica.com Our storage architect is trying to

Hello Dennis, We did go from 3390-3 to 3390-9. Difference is that the 3390-3 disk had other stuff on it than the paging function. I have a separate 3390-9 for paging and another 3390-9 for spooling. Went from EMC ESCON to DS6800 with FICON. Everything was just better. No paging or any other

Automate z/VM RACF SMF process to z/OS

2009-12-01 Thread Martin, Terry R. (CMS/CTR) (CTR)
Hi I want to automate the copying of the RACF SMF records over to z/OS each night. I have the basics down on how to do this but the one thing that I am not sure about is how to determine the SMF data file that is not in use so that I can FTP that file to z/OS. My thoughts were to create a

You should place your code in user RACFSMF: this user is autologged when RACF's SMF disk is full (that is this RACFVM 301 or 302). Th standard code will copyfile it onto RACFSMF 191 and erase it from 301/302. Extend the code with your FTP stuff. If you surely want to process each night (and not
