I have not had to work with this type of stuff for some time, but I do
think you can turn on/off the concurrent copy function. At one time it
was also something that you had to order with the DASD box. Also, I
don't think flashcopy needs concurrent copy to do its thing. The z/Os
people may
We use the IBM PCOMM software for our consoles with an OSA-ICC on all
three of our CPUs. We use both z/OS and z/VM consoles through the
OSA-ICC. It is my understanding that the MIFID must match to the lpar
you are running your z/VM system in.

I am trying to find some sort of source layout for the HISTSUM file. I
was hoping to write a program to read the file and either write some
reports or extract part of the data into another file. This is going to
be done on a z/OS (for give me) system. We are currently running z/VM
5.1.

We use PCs with 19 inch flat panel monitors. We run 4 sessions on
each screen. The PCs are running IBM PCOMM under Windows-XP. They are
all connect to OSA-ICC cards. At the local site we run one monitor per
PC and at a remote site we are running two monitors per PC.

We are running two IFLs. One on a z9 the other on a z990. With help
from the LAN network team and using a VSWITCH on each IFL we can move a
Linux around as needed. The users don't know it moved because the IP
address does not change. All DASD can be accessed from either IFL.

I have tried a search from the IBM main web page for www.vm.ibm.com to
see what I got. Any hits I got I could not connect to any of the urls
listed.

Up to now I have been using the old 3270 access. It always work fine
for me. I have talked to other staff members who are using the web
access. They all say the same thing. They have a problem with the
search function in Service Information Search (SIS). Sometimes new is
not always better.
I don't know if this will help. We are not running z/OS under z/VM.
The MIH for all of our DASD is set to two minutes (DASD=02:00). Here is
the JES2 info on the checkpoint. DORMANCY=(120,500) and HOLD=40. We are
running with 6 z/OS lpars in the same JES2 MAS.
