Re: Question regarding zVM and CF when running in a LPAR

David, I don't have access to a Z10, so it is only speculation. Something to check: Are the CF Processors dedicated to CF LPAR? The VM LPAR have access to at least one CF processor? Is VM LPAR running in Mode VM? Follow this line... __ Clovis From:

Forgive my ignorance, but is this all defined in the IOCP? Because the IOCP is very generic and most of the stuff is SHARED. I don't see anything in the current IOCP that sets any partition apart from the other. BTW, this is a z9 that's having trouble: snip IOCONFIG ID=33

I'm curious if this error rings a bell with any of you. We of course have an ETR open and are working with IBM. No hardware errors on the HMC, so we believe this was software and not hardware. Here's the last operator log message before the LPAR went into a disabled wait: HCPMPG9152E PROCESSOR

David, Isn't the problem that the virtual CF machines are not responding? If that is the case, then I don't understand why the IOCP would be involved... it's all virtual. During initialization following the XAUTOLOG, the virtual CF machine is supposed to read the actual CF code from the HMC

An absolute prereq, not just a safety one. If it is not already draining, then there would be nothing to prevent new pages from being written on the device. It will still be somewhat tricky because the page may already be in storage, in use by a virtual machine. Also, it may be part of a DCSS,
