Re: TPF and PAX numbers

2011-07-11 Thread martin . zimelis
Phil, I'm not familiar with the term "PAX number", but for at least 20 years, United Airlines has referred to its six character (alpha-numeric) reservation identifier interchangeably as a "reservation number" or a "record locator". I don't know whether that's an actual TPF record or just a t

Richard, I'd like to add my best wishes to those of your myriad friends on this list. I seem to recall first running into you at a SHARE meeting when you worked for USAir (or was it one of its components?) in North Carolina. It's been a long and interesting road since then. I have one obse

Phil, Have you considered getting involved with the Linux & VM Program (LVM) at SHARE? In particular, the LVM Technical Steering Committee has been working with IBM on this sort of topic for a number of years. I know they're always looking for interested members from the user community.

Sounds like you have a CP READ up. Q NAMES is a CP command; Q DISK is a CMS command. Try typing a B (Begin). Marty From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU] On Behalf Of Martin, Terry R. (CMS/CTR) (CTR)

David's comment is a perfect example of the reason Rich is exactly right: The requirement should specify the effect you want, not the method of implementation. And don't forget to include the business case for the enhancement in the requirement. Marty

Catherine, I don't think your understanding of SHARE is backwards, but your expectation of what the performance manager will do might be. I suspect it's trying to keep heavy CPU users from hogging the processors. To get back to the original question, Jim, I think you need to describe what t

Y'know, Neale, it's probably way past time to stop referring to Kate and her sibs "the vermin." Judging from the "Prom 2010" pictures on your Facebook page, they no longer qualify as such. :-) Happy birthday, Kate. Marty On Tue, Jan 25, 2011 at 10:11

Re: Mixed page volume sizes

Dennis, I would add one more thing to what Rob said. Your paging rate should also be taken into account. If 100 "spindles" will handle your peak paging rates without causing measurable page wait, I'd vote for going the all-3390-9 route rather than the -3 approach. And record one more vote

Casey, First of all, this discussion assumes that you're working with a FILECONTROL directory (vs. a DIRCONTROL directory). See the discussion under CREATE DIRectory command for the differences. You need to look more carefully at the discussion of the GRANT AUTHority command. There are sep

David, Unless you're max'ing out these virtual machines by consuming 100% of a real processor, it should be as simple as increasing their SHARE values. Marty Zimelis On Thu, Jul 8, 2010 at 10:55 AM, Dean, David (I/S) wrote: > This should be easy, but I d

Re: Query parent z/VM commands?

2010-05-30 Thread Martin Zimelis
Mike, On more recent levels of z/VM and the hardware, you might want to be looking at the results of the STSI (STore System Information) hardware instruction. It produces a level-by-level description of the "hardware" environment, just not as nicely formatted as what proc/sysinfo gives you.
