Re: DDR

Based on a number of disk platform migrations during which I used IND USER and various products that digest CP Monitor data to track progress, DDR does full track reads when copying from disk to disk. The same is true for disk to tape. Tom Schuh, Richard wrote: When DDR copies one disk to ano

Re: VMUTIL Executing a long running EXEC

Hi Scott, As numerous others have suggested, you should set up VMUTIL to XAUTOLOG another userid that will execute the long-running EXEC and return completion information via a mechanism of your choice. My $0.05 worth is that this is a perfect opportunity to exploit "POOL" userids, which enab

Re: Number of MOD-27 Cylinders for a z/Linux guest

Not quite. Sounds like the DS8000 architecture allocates DASD in 3390 mod1-sized extents, so requesting a 1114 cylinder DASD results in the allocation of two 1113 cylinder extents. The first extent is fully utilized as the first 1113 cylinders of the requested DASD, but only the first cylinder

Re: 3380 DDR to 3390 Question

Re: TDISK and SYSTEM CONFIG question.

Without CLEAR_Tdisk enabled, whatever data the last user stored in T-DISK space is still present when it is allocated to the next user. To successfully use the space with CMS you will most likely have to format it, unless the boundaries of your TDISK allocation exactly overlay the previous user

Re: OSA-Express2 Device Addresses

Thanks, Mark. Initial input that I received suggested that z/VSE did not support virtual NICs as required to couple to a VSWITCH. I will look into this further, though, as a VSWITCH does sound more appealing. CP DEFINE NIC is supposed to create "OSA-type" devices, which z/VSE may recognize as

Greetings, I have cross-posted this to the z/VM and z/VSE lists - sorry for the inbox clutter to those of you that subscribe to both! The following questions do not relate directly to z/VM or z/VSE, but since I am dealing with a z/VM system with multiple z/VSE guests I figured that I would st
