Since the STORBUF setting is exactly the values I suggested, I suspect you applied the SET SRM STORBUFF 300% 250% 200% prior to doing the Q SRM With the current setting for STORBUFF, are you still experiencing the problem? Also, on a related note, what does your zVM paging system look like?

When you do the IND LOAD (or just IND), does the E3 field have any non-zero number? If yes, then you have formed a Eligible list. You should investigate and understand the implications, but the quick fix is to set a more reasonable SRM STORBUFF value, for example: CP SET SRM STORBUFF 300%

Re: VM/ESA TCP/IP and VSWITCH

2010-03-19 Thread Mike At HammockTree
Hi Billy I'm no expert at this, but you've defined your device as a LCS device, not a QDIO. A VSwitch has to be QDIO, so you need to change your device (and link) statements accordingly. For instance, I have DEVICE OSAQDIO OSD 0440 PORTNAME OSA1 PRIROUTER AUTORESTART LINK

Wouldn't it be more correct to qualify it with something like: ... as long as the guest supports a QDIO interface for TCP/IP.?? There are still lots of old guests floating around that do not understand QDIO... Mike Hammock - Original Message - From: Rich Smrcina

Please excuse a slightly off-topic message, but since a number of System z developers tend to follow this group, I thought this would be of general interest. IBM has just announced the availability of their zPDT (System z Personal Development Tool) to qualifying members of IBM's PartnerWorld

Bob, you hit a fairly frequently occuring problem. A number of the HMC panels are, in my view, poorly designed or labeled. There are numerous times when you need to take (click on) the non-intutative option. Some of the more intiative options appear to exit, but actually leave the task

Hello Grady.. welcome to the list... As the others have said, you will use service and put2prod to apply the new ( and all future) RSUs. The thing that may seem different for this (and future) RSUs is that you actually did part of the RSU process during the initial install because the DVD

Re: First OSA config.

2009-07-02 Thread Mike At HammockTree
The first question, Bob, is Why are you using OSASF at all?? OSASF is not needed/used by the ICC port of the OSA. If you change your definition of the other port (PCHPID 110) to OSD and run in QDIO mode you won't need OSASF. You can have zVM and multiple guests all use/share that port witth

A couple of interesting aspects of this boot from the USB idea The z10, which is where the boot from DVD is supported, comes with a HMC that has both the DVD and a couple of USB ports. USB is supported as an inport/export device for configuration files. The HMC runs Linux and Linux treats
