Alan, Indeed I should have said LOGOFF/LOGON instead of IPL the guest. The instruction Koray used was "IPL VM" to activate the changes. As far as I know we do not have to IPL VM every time the directory changes. And I can't even remember when we performed a POR. Regards, Berry. -Original Me

Shane, An IPL doesn't clear the (virtual) hardware environment of the guest, and that's the way it should be. For instance, when I test a new CMS I can link the MAINT 490 instead of the 190. Or when I need a bit more storage to edit a large CMS file I can use DEF STOR to increase my default. I do

Excuse me? If you re-IPL a virtual machine surely it resets its environment according to USER DIRECT? A virtual subset of the existing IOCDS, with the virtual addresses and user(sic)-defined storage? What do you inherit from a previous instance of a virtual machine? Bit confused here, but I fr

Hi Anthony, I think the confusion is the word IPL. When we mention "IPL" we mean executing the command IPL *OR* logon a machine. But they are not always the same thing. If you logon a machine (and I mean logon a machine that is not running) you get the configuration as set in the directory. Usuall

Hah. I see. CMS IPL re-boots the OS within the existing VM. LOGON/LOGOFF resets the VM. Bit like the difference between re-IPLing z/OS and re-activating the hardware partition it lives in. Thanks Berry/Rob -Original Message- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:linux-...@vm.marist.edu] On

I have seen this happen as well; when trying to boot from san disks. Do you have your root filesystem on a san disk? Can you post your user direct entry for a user that fails? When you logged all the way out of your Linux guests you reset that user. A lot of different things could have happened at

Think of it this way: The directory definition of a guest are the "specs" used to construct its virtual machine when it logs on. Re-iplling a guest without logging off/on is the same as rebooting your windows box without making physical changes to it, changes to the "specs" aren't seen. (There are

Hi Koray, Lets try a step by step approach. Start by verifing that you are running with the correct directory. And second, try to find out what the correct IPL processes are for the guests. I would expect that your zVM guy has handed the correct instructions and that you indeed have to edit DI
