Hi, Stephen. If you mean CMS Pipelines, the answer is no, simply because ooRexx has not yet been ported to CMS. DJ On 12/20/2010 09:35 AM, Gentry, Stephen wrote: Chip, does ooREXX support PIPES? -Original Message- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu]

General CMS minidisks and SFS on PAV DASD?

2010-12-20 Thread Mike Walter
We've always avoided using PAV volumes for general user (non-fullpack) CMS minidisks. Instead we've only used DASD defined as 3390-3 so that I/O queueing is minimized. That choice was in part due to management decisions. Over the past weekend we needed to move some z/VM DASD quickly -- and

Why would you NOT want PAV for CMS mds? The IO Supervisor has not kept up with the hardware. It still thinks of a disk device as a spinning platter when in fact it is a rank of RAID devices striped over numerous HDs and cached in a disk controller from where it is actually being read thereby

2010-12-20 Thread Kris Buelens
CMS IO can indeed profit from PAV: CP knows how to look at PAV aliases when a disk is busy. SFS is another story: the SFS SW knows where its minidisks are located. It will not attempt to launch an IO to a volume to which it has an active IO. So: if you have multiple SFS servers on a given PACK,

Thanks, Kris. I knew about SFS (we dedicate whole volumes to individual SFS filepools and their servers, with no volumes shared by servers), and DB2 (tho we don't use DB2 on z/VM). To answer George's question about why not?...' PAV first became available for z/VM CMS mdisk use with z/VM 5.2.

One question, is the DASD subsystem you are on shared with z/OS systems (running outside of z/VM). We have used PAVs for several years for our z/OS systems. We have gone from what is called WLM managed PAV to HyperPAV. I have avoided using PAVs for our z/VM lpars because I was not sure how

Mike, We use PAV for volumes containing CMS minidisks. We turned it on a few months ago on a system that we acquired with our last merger, and the user was quite pleased. It took a couple of hours off of their nightly batch. PAV is also on for volumes that contain SFS minidisks. It doesn't
