z/VM Version 5 Release 4.0, Service Level 1002 (64-bit)
z/VM V5R4.0 Performance Toolkit.
How or where do I find information on setting up performance tool to email me
with threshold alerts?

Look in the Perfkit Guide, SC24-6156-01 chapter 5 (page128).
Note that you could use my MAILIT package to create an email from a string
in a REXX exec (that is without first writing things in a file). Mailit was
explictely created for a monitoring system at my former customer, later SMTP
support
The issue with keeping the grants in AUTOLOG1 or in SYSTEM CONFIG is that
you have to either continually modify those files every time you create a
new Linux image, or you have to keep a separate list of Linux images
somewhere for AUTOLOG1 to read (though you probably have to anyway).
Putting the
Hi,
CP DEFINE LAN have a UNRESTRICTED option, that don't need the grants.
My suggestion:
If the environment is stable, fix the VSWITCH and GRANTS into SYSTEM
CONFIG.
If the system is unstable or is in the test phase, test with the
unrestricted lan.
Only NICDEF changes in directory...
Kris,
Is right I have used MAILIT for years to send mail on VM and it is
Briliant !
here is our exec from Perfkit - yes it is not so pretty , but it works.
/* HIUSRCP EXEC */
/* sendnote exec */
TRACE OFF
PARSE ARG MSG USER USERID CPIO CPU R1 R2 R3 R4 R5 R6
SELECT
WHEN CPIO = '%CPU'
If I were you, I'd include all usefull information in the mails' subject, so
for example
'EXEC MAILIT TO VMEMAIL TITLE (CPUHOG:' userid cpu '% CPU)',
'TEXT User' USERID 'running at' CPU '%
This way, the receiver doesn't even have to open the mail to know what is
inside.

If I were you,
Cool... I'll try that...
I can see a use for GRANTs when the define is done by command. You need
to know it's really allowed. But if it's in the directory, hopefully
only authorized people can update the directory, so why should they have
to update 2 things?
Thanks all!!

I don't. I don't have any human beings on my systems except for system
programmers that have full authority anyway. Having to GRANT linux
servers is an extra thing that has to be managed. I would like to
define a vswitch as unrestricted.

Or maybe put a password on the VSWITCH that would allow a class G user to
connect if he knew the password.

But, should you have to have an external security manager for a system where
the majority of users are disconnected guest operating systems? Most of
today's z/VM systems have a bare minimum of real human users. CP is the
security manager for us, and it's sufficient to control the wild ramblings
It is a hard sell to management to buy an ESM if there is no audit
requirement.

If you are a publicly traded company and z/VM is running production
without an ESM or its equivalent, then you have a material control

Hello Listers,
I have written an REXX exec to file transfer monitor data files from our
z/VM Lpar to our z/OS Lpar using FTP. The following is an excerpt from
that code:
push 'quit'
push put TEST.FILE.A 'my.zos.dsn'
... other ftp
I think what you really want here is BATFTP. It codes like REXX and allows you
to deal with return codes from every step. I've had it for a long time and
don't remember where I got it originally.

Get a copy of VMFTP from the IBM VM downloads page. You will not regret
it.
It allows you to write rexx ftp scripts and you can check return codes
as well as look at the results of each ftp command in case you need to
determine what to do next.

I recommend the very flexible VMFTP shareware. You write macros as REXX
execs, giving you complete control of the FTP session.
For example, we sometimes send VMDUMPs to a particular ISV (each ISV has
its own exec/macro). Some want the VMDUMP COPYFILE (PACKed before
sending (doing so
