Has anyone enabled NPIV support using Cisco switches? I've got the adapters
converted to NPIV on our z10 and all looks correct there. We have NPIV
enabled on our Cisco 9134 and 9513 switches. However, the fabric is not

You'll need a FICON port attached to your SAN first of all. If one doesn't
exist already, you'll need to get whomever is in charge of the hardware to
do that. (Its all me here, so I get my hands into every level of it.) If you

We just moved our remaining LPAR over to a new z10. Now, some of our z/OS
people are updating their licenses on their products to reflect the new
serial number, etc. However, they are being asked for the new mainframe's
capacity number. I've never heard of that before. They are being told
to
-504.

I know that this question has come up numerous times in the past, but
I'm don't recall ever seeing a consensus on it. I know that z/VM needs
expanded storage. However, deciding how much is the trick.

We have installed an IBM SVC and are now trying to configure it to work with
z/VM 5.4.0. I've zoned the SVC and the FICON adapters together and created
a host on the SVC. Both sides seem to see each other and communicate.
(I have all the latest service on z/VM.)
So, I created three vdisks on
I've set up FCP connections on 3 other LPARs with no problem. All of a
sudden, I'm running into trouble with a 4th. I'm using EDEV to define
the virtual device and it is dedicated to a SLES 10 server. The LUN is
visible to the server and usable. However, on VM, I'm getting:

between z/OS guests, use the mode MWV, not just MW. Otherwise, the z/OS
systems could run into problems.

more questions. We are always happy to help new VMers.

I've got several test Oracle servers running on SLES 10 and z/VM 5.4.0
on our z9 using SAN disk space. I set up the SAN connection using a
FICON adapter and the EDEV support. That is working OK, but I'm concerned
about where to go from there.

We are currently looking to add some disk storage to our SAN and I'm
anticipating connecting our z9 to it at some point to support Linux guests
on z/VM. We are looking at buying at least one, perhaps two DS4800's.
However, there doesn't seem to be any info for supporting Linux on zSeries

We want to try and run our z/OS guests with a disconnected console. At

15 minutes. I suspect that we need to change a combination of CP and z/OS

One benefit of reading email on VM that no one has mentioned, viruses.
