Re: Duplicate VOLID's

In a normal production environment this is not such an insurmountable problem. The problem is this is a test lab, and I don't necessarily know what happens to the different disk volumes. I do know what addresses my system disks are on, but there may be copies that someone was testing with floating

We code stuff in the SYSTEM CONFIG to control which lpar sees which volumes at IPL time. It does require some work to set up and to maintain it. Paul Feller AIT Mainframe Technical Support From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of Tom Huegel Sent: Wednes

As far as I know z/VM can't play with z/OS and PAVs managed by WLM. When WLM "moves" around an alias it most tell all lpars in the sysplex what has happened. All lpars must report back that they now what happened. If that does not happen you will get a mismatch and z/OS is not happy. If I re

Cloned systems immediately are assigned a new set of volid's. You may want to consider assigning new sets of volids. An alternative is to take the other systems devices offline at IPL, but if they move for whatever reason that is one more thing to keep track of and maintain. On 08/25/2010 0

Z/VM EMC Dasd Dynamic PAV's shared IODF

We have one CEC. We have four z/os lpars in a single sysplex and 2 Z/VM lpars and one IODF. A few years ago we went to mod9's and mod27's with dynamic paving on the Z/OS controlled by WLM. For the VM dasd we uniquely clip as LX, and can see it from the Z/OS side. Up until now we'

Routing a CTC connection

You could change the SAIPL defaults on iplable volumes so that it would be obvious to everyone which disk was IPLed. That is assuming that whoever ipls will look at the comments before hitting PF10. Also, make sure that no two of the systems have a matching volser in the spool configuration. Th

I am looking for a way to verify at IPL time that z/VM is using the volumes I intended. It is possible that there are more than one volume with a volid of xxxRES xxxWK1 xxxWK2 etc. I could put something in the AUTOLOG1 PROFILE EXEC to do Q DASD and verify that xxxRES is at address x'100' and xxxWK1

Ideally, you'd like to have a separate device. Separate adapter (separate slot) and plugged into a separate switch. Perhaps even separate media (GBE LX vs. 1000Base-T). Is there any performance improvement with GBE LX over 1000Base-T? Frank M. Ramaekers Jr. -Original Message- Fro

z/VSE will have similar protection that a Linux virtual machine from OSA or Switch failures, since they will be redundant (assuming the redundant pieces are actually separate devices). On 08/25/2010 07:31 AM, Frank M. Ramaekers wrote: From what I understand, VSWITCH with layer 3 and multiple
