Hi Listeners,
I'm try install a fresh copy of zvm 5.4 on a new z196 machine, but for some
reason, after install z/vm, run ipwizard and do a shutdown reipl the
machine comes back without network, but running ipwizard again without
change anything networks back...
anybody has this problem
I'm posting this question for a co-worker who is working on our conversion from
z/VM 5.3 to 5.4.
I've got three z/VM LPARs that share a RACF database. It is not shared with
any other systems.
The LPARs were running z/VM Version 5 Release 3.0, service level 1001 (64-bit).

I'm in the process of migrating our production LPARs from a z9 to a z10 and
I've found a bit of weirdness. Since the z10 has been around awhile, I
assume this isn't anything new, but I wonder why it is happening.
I've found that a CMS minidisk that is created while on the z9, is readable
by a VM

Maybe minidisk cache is active on one of the systems. Did you define the DASD

Hello Martha,
Would you not have to re-access the mdisk on the z9 after the z10
updated the file? To be able to read it.
And if you did write to the disk from the z9, would that not cause all
sorts of data errors?
You know like who has the real file and what file is being updated
where?
Ed
That doesn't sound right.
MDC getting in your way?

Ah, glad it was simple!

There's not much experience you can learn by using an emulated SYSG. For
humans a real SYSG is entirely different from an emulated one.
- a SYSG emulated on a PCOMM session still looks like PCOMM, with your PCOMM
keyboard definitions, but without file transfer or GDDM.
- a real SYSG has its own
Martha,
Could MDCACHE be getting in the way?
When I share minidisks between z/VM systems in different LPARS or on
different CECs, I run an EXEC to ensure that the following commands are
entered before to access the disk updated on the other system, from the
system where it had not been
Ummm...
Step A1. Make a DDR backup of the database disk to an MDISK that you can
LINK and ACCESS even when RACF/VM is down? So that you can DDR that
backup MDISK over a potentially corrupted production MDISK if things don't
go perfectly the first time.
I don't run RACF/VM, but I'm just

Rogério,
Have you reviewed the console log on the TCPIP service machine? By
default, they are sent to TCPMAINT's reader queue when TCPIP is logged
off.
Or, logon directly onto TCPIP (since it is not working anyway) and start
it up by entering #CP IPL CMS

The MDISK statements prove that the RACF database minidisks are not
fullpack, hence CP wil not let Reserve/release propagate to the HW, hence
RACFs in multiple z/VM systems can both perform updates concurrently (and
destroy the database).

The DASD is defined as shared - but if you're really sharing this RACF

I second that emotion :-) SETROPTS SHAREDB(YES) or some such

What you're asking for used to be called DWIM (Do What I Mean). There
was a package on the IBM internal tools disk 25 years ago or so called
that. Never really had the guts to try it out.

As I recall - DWIM was a CMS based 'command corrector' .. it didn't do
anything like check your system/DASD configuration - it would try and self
correct finger checks to commands you entered. But I understand the
correlation with *intent* in this case :-)

Thanks for the information, I will forward it on to my co-worker. I do know
that the RACF databases are the only things on the volumes. The other MDISK
statements are just to fill out the volumes so they don't show as having free
space. I would say about 99% of all user updates to RACF (add
