Ah, I wonder if it is a function of number of devices! Prod has 1800+ DASD

Hey, Rich! How are you doing? It's great to hear from you.

I'm OK with him taking 30 seconds - the whole 4:30 is attributed to RMSMASTR

I think I saw one of our systems take 78 seconds to shut down recently, but
AFAIK, we don't have software to capture the shutdown messages. If I'm
thinking of the right system, it has over 5000 devices.
What's ME8PROX2? That seems to be taking a full 30 seconds to terminate..

The default is 30 seconds (Q SHUTDOWNTIME) for the CP's portion of the shutdown
process.
I recall hearing that is good default.
We are seeing systems exceed that - 33 seconds in this one that seemed to come
with bonus messages (that is our SW seemed to capture the HCPWRP963I's on this
one).

Hey, Rich! How are you doing? It's great to hear from you. I'm
disappointed that you won't be at the Workshop, but I understand that
it would be expensive with the cost of the airfare and housing.
Apparently there is no dorm housing as there has been at some
Workshops. The registration fee
It might be nice if you could tell CP to stagger its shutdown signals, but
I don't think that's going to happen.
That's what automation's for...
What about a combination of your approaches?
1. Put the NOSHUTDOWNSIGNAL in the SFS servers' parms files as you said.
2. Have VM:Operator (or your other S

Out of the box, RMSMASTR behaves very badly on a signal shutdown of your VM
system.
We have to use this to mount tapes in the VTS.
RMSMASTR has files in VMSYSU: and VMSYS:, which both use signal shutdown by
default.
RMSMASTR hangs up the shutdown of VMSYS: until your system default shutdown

John,
I think part of your problem is the set edev command. You should be using
a wwpn of your XIV, not the channel.

Ficon Express 4 will work. Are you using NPIV? The channel will not

We have 6 LPARs running z/VM 6.1.0 and only one of them does TPF hosting. While
TPF hosting is the biggest expenditure of resources in that LPAR, it also has
other critical applications. We never have gotten all the way down to just TPF
hosting. If you count the several Linux guests that support

John,
I'm not aware of the XIV requiring any particular kind of card on the
processor side of the SAN. Just the standard hardware requirements, such
as not mixing LX/SX ports, apply as they do for any storage subsystem.
The SVC is not needed to use the XIV as an EDEVICE, and in fact a switch
Richard,
Thank for all your help over the last 30 years that I've had the pleasure
to work with VM.
Was VM role at VISA down to just TPF guesting? Seems like you had some
applications that WERE running under VM inhte old days.
Good bye and good luck,

I have a couple of questions on setting up an XIV box to be used by our z10.
It will be for zLinux under zVM (6.1), and I'd like to configure the LUNs as EDEVs.
Does the XIV require FICON Express8 cards on the z10, or will Express4 work?
The XIV does not see the z10 through the switch.

Thanks for the kind words. I know that I got at least as much, undoubtedly way,
way more, from the group than I contributed. My main regret is that I never had
an employer who could be convinced that active participation in projects and
committees would be beneficial.

Thanks for being a part of the community for so long, Richard. I have
great memories of the good old days at VMSHARE, etc. You were always a
great role model for us newbies.

Congratulations on your retirement.

We hear the same story from retirees here in the US... that they are busier
after they retire. They say they don't know how they ever found time to work.
