Hi List,
A first post from someone who's come back to z/VM after 23 years on the dark
side!
Once a PTF has been PUT2PROD is there a way to back off (remove from prod)
that PTF via VMSES - or do I have to restore the system from the backup I
took before applying service? I'm hoping there is some

One situation I had was SMTP caught in a tight loop after a spool full

In that case, SMTP was looping on CPU 00 giving almost 100% CPU busy on CPU 00.

Is there a setting in TCP/IP that would set/limit the
QOS. Individual says they are getting slow QOS on an FTP
and they would like a definitive answer that there is no
TCP/IP setting that would limit this.
Unfortunately, the VM is old... VM/ESA 2.3

FWIW, I do not know if IBM ever fixed it, but TPF (formerly ACP) had no
storage key protection between tasks, workloads, and it was very simple,
even common, for one task to step on another. If that is still the case,
TPF would be the first place I would look for any strangeness.

Sort of a broad range of targets here. Could you tell us a little more
about:

the same network to the target system? If that one is slow too, then

Michel - That (SMTP) is one I had not thought of - unfortunately not the

George - Yes, TPF is fast but stupid. However, these are pre-production

from time to time but we have a specific coverage
The FTP is from VM/ESA to an AIX server and the VM side
is about the only thing the individual has direct control
over. I just wanted to know that there is no setting on
VM TCP/IP that would limit QoS for an FTP.

SPXTAPE only supports tape.
You could use DCSSBKUP and DCSSRSAV for some of the SDF's, but not all.
There are past discussions in the archives that discuss the general

Hi, George.
Unfortunately SPXTAPE only supports tape as an output device. The IBM
supplied SDF files (CMS, GCS, SCEE, NLSAMEGN, etc.) can be regenerated
using VM/SES tools and procedures.
As Brian mentioned you could also use the DCSSBKUP /DCSSRSAV utilities
as well. You could also grab a copy
I don't want to come across as bragging, but there is the SFB spool file
backup/restore utility available now. It's:
1) free
2) backs up and restores SDF file to/from CMS files
3) can handle NSS as well as DCSS, IMG, RDR/PRT/PUN, NLS, SDFs
4) For RDR/PRT/PUN files, it groups all the UR spool files

It would be nice if z/VM had a virtual tape server that would intercept
tape requests and store them on CMS minidisk and to retrieve them as
well. This could be used for more than just SPXTAPE.

Will I impact performance if I replace my 2nd mod 9
I don't think you'll impact performance negatively, no -- BUT - you will be
cutting your paging space in half.. so you will not be able to support as
high a virtual to real ratio as you could now.The current numbers look
'ok' - and your paging would be at about 30% or after you change to a

Frank, while I think having a simple virtual tape server for CNMS is a
good idea, it wouldn't solve our problems with SPXTAPE; it does not use
the normal CMS tape i/o routines to read/write tape. I believe it
