Hi listers,
my customer uses VM-TN3270E, SCEXIT and Dial to VM-VTAM to connect to
his CICS-TS in zVSE. Now he is going to reach the 4096 devices limit in
his vm-vtam, because the Non-SNA resources support only 3-digit device
numbers. We want to create a 2nd GCS and VTAM with its own segments

If your directories are identical except for the volsers (and release and
maintenance levels), go for it. Changing the IPL address should be
sufficient.You have no synchronicity problems.What you will lose, if any exist,
are the ordinary spool files

As long as the CMS users are not on the System Vols: 540RES, 540W01,
540W02, I should be ok because the Level 2 directory is identical to the
Level 1 directory except for these VOLSERs.
The same should be true for DB2, DIRMAINT, VMSECURE, etc.

But wouldn't I need to also update the SDFs: NSS and DCSS?
I don't have tape so I can't use SPXTAPE to *port* them around.
But I suppose I can use the SFB utility which is functionally equivalent.

The directory is something else that can get out of sync.
One method is to copy the new CPLOAD MODULE to the parm disk as CPNEW MODULE.
From the HMC, enter the address of the console into the Load Parm field and
IPL. When the SALIPL screen is displayed, enter CPNEW as the load module name

Hi George,
If you are only using z/VM as a hypervisor for Linux guests (or otherwise
don't have an active CMS user community) this will work. If you have
servers (e.g. DB2, SFS, etc.) and/or end-users that are updating CMS files -
you have to keep in mind that those will get out of sync on you
I have no extra disk, no tape, but still need a fallback, I am thinking of
implementing the following strategy to put maintenance into production and
would appreciate it, if someone could find something wrong.
My 2d Level is a mirror of 1st Level except for VOLSERs which are unique.

BINGO!
That works! Thank you Stephen. I'm going to file this away in my "very very
odd tricks" file for future reference, it never occurred to me to load SAPL on
SYSG but tell DSF to load on SYSC. Nicely done! :)

Thanks, but I have neither. Besides, even if I had a real 3270, the machine
is thousands of miles from here (I'm using the HMC web app to access the HMC
remotely).
I guess this was actually a productive exercise for me, I've never used DSF

My point is that you can use a real terminal (if you have one of these) or a
port on the ICC (if you have that) instead of the HMC.

I suspect there isn't support for that device on sysg. Do you have a real
terminal?
Your one time PPRC copy should suffice for next time though. Unless you wipe
out the test vols after the test?

Once you get the SAPL screen up on SYSG, Then you perform the FILELIST via PF9.
Then tab down to ICKSADSF MODULE and SELECT. This will place ICKSADSF into your
SAPL screen. Next use a Load Origin of 1000. Then tab past IPL PARAMETERS and
type CONS=SYSG and press PF10.
This should get you

I read a little further, and it says use CNSLSCLP to select the line
mode HMC console. It doesn't say if the SYSG console is supported, so
it probaby isn't.

Mike,
CONSCCUU or CONSSYSG will skip the SAPL screen. You don't want that, you really
want the SAPL screen so you can select ICKSADSF MODULE, Correct?

I tried it successfully by specifying:
1) Load module of ICKSADSF
2) IPL Parameters of CONS0009
Running 2nd level with the console at 0009.

Hi Bruce,
Thanks. I tried CNSLSYSG but no luck with that either.
Pressing "ENTER" to get the attention of DSF is likewise "not easy". When
PF10 is pressed to LOAD, that causes the X WAIT status on SYSG. ENTER can't
be pressed until SYSG is ready for input. I tried pressing RESET then

You may have to press enter once twice on the 3270 integrated console to obtain

Hi Marcy,
We have VM:Spool, so the AUTOVSEG feature will automatically restore out
SPOOL after IPL (a very, very cool feature). My problem is just formatting
and allocating a few packs so there is SPOL space to restore to.
Since ICKSADSF won't load, I've actually cloned my SPOL volumes on the
Well, you may want to just replicate that spool too. You can then just IPL and
go format some page volumes before you bring up any workload.
Saves you from recreating all the NSS's as well.
The headache is probably not worth the savings.

The correct LOADPARM is CONSSYSG for the 3270 TERM on HMC and CONSSYSC for the
