Ron,
Many thanks for your information. It will a great help in our planning.
Our biggest problem is that our workload changes all the time daily
weekly etc. It all depends on what our developers are working on and
what problems our SE's are sorting out. The only two  'killers' we have
on our system is TERSE and WEBSPHERE. We have zAAp to handle WebSpehere.

I will take all you  have said under advisement and hope I can 'guess'
what the 'best' plan will be. 

I think black magic is more of a science than guessing the future fo a
configuration.

Again, thanks

Subject: Re: 2 versus 4 processors

Crispin,

From what I read of your email you are trying to choose between two
sub-capacity z10 models, one with two CP and one with four, that have
roughly the same total MIPS as your current z9 which has two CP. If I
have
that part correct, then the sub-capacity uniprocessor MIPS speed of the
z10
with two CP will be approximately the same as your current z9, and the
sub-capacity uniprocessor MIPS speed of the z10 with four CP will half
of
the current z9.

There have been several emails that paraphrase what I said about your
4xCP
z10: any compute bound task that runs at close to 100% of one CP is
going
to take twice as long but I'll explain what I meant.

Any batch job, SQL Query, transaction, etc that is compute bound usually
means that the speed of the CPU governs the elapsed time of the unit of
work. Where the UOW has little in the way of Multi-tasking, like a batch
compile or a single DB2 thread, that governor will be the uniprocessor
speed, and not the total capacity of your z9 or z10. If go from 2xCP to
4xCP
that are 50% slower, your compute bound tasks will take twice as long to
complete because they are running at half the MIPS speed.

In the case of your development environment, if you are currently
running
enough concurrent work, or UOWs with unusually high multitasking, and
your
2xCP z9 running at close to 100% busy most of the time, then one of
three
things will happen if you go to 4xCP that are 50% slower:

a) Net throughput stays the same as a high number of tasks compete for a
small number of CP and net capacity has stayed the same.

b) Net throughput reduces because the multitasking level occasionally
(or
often) falls below the number of CP and the slower uniprocessor retards
the
CPU execution speed. A symptom of this is the inability to no longer
sustain
100% busy for the same workload mix.

c) The throughput of some UOWs improves, while it degrades for others.
You
have basically changed the whole dynamic. Sometimes heavy compute bound
tasks are throttled, and the IO bound tasks run faster because they have
access to the unused capacity. This can be good, but not so good if the
compute bound tasks are the important ones.

There are many greybeards, or not so grey, that remember running G3 and
G4
CMOS while our mates at the pub were running Skylines. My experience is
that
often the CMOS with many, slower Uniprocessors would compensate for an
inadequate IPS or WLM setup, throttle the Compute bound tasks, and
improve
the net throughput (UOW per minute). However I also remember many CICS
and
IDMS shops that swapped to fewer and faster Uniprocessors on Amdahl and
HDS
and quickly improved the throughput, and could actually use 100% of the
net
capacity.

So the short version of all this is YMMV. You should take a bit of time
to
profile your workload to establish if there is a significant amount of
Compute bound workload, decide how important it is to what you do, and
if
you will end up with reaction a, b or c.

2 versus 4 processors

2010-07-16 Thread Crispin Hugo
Hi,
We are hopefully going from a z9 to z10 processor.
I would like to have 4 CP's instead of our current 2 CP's so our
configuration is more flexible. We are not worried about licensing costs
of multiple processors. The overall MIPage would be the same, whether we
have 2 or 4 CP's

Anybody see any gotcha's about doing this

Hi Ron,
I am sorry but I don't understand what you mean.

We are a software development company so our work has no standard at
all. It changes from day to day depending on what the developers are
doing. We have a 2096 n02 which gives us 2 106(?) mips CP's. We have to
run our sysplex testing by running sysplex under z/VM.
We have the opportunity to hopefully get a 2098 g04, each processor will
have 62.5 Mips (?) per CP. As I would like to be able to create a real
sysplex and play around with various configurations I believe hat 4 CP's
would be a very good idea. The PTB's are unsure and are worried that
having CP's will be a big overhead. I don't know where they get this
feeling. 

I would like opinions,  as to even worst case, we would be worse off if
I kept current LPAR lay out on 4 CP's as against 2 CP's where all LPARs
share CP's equally. I can't be very precise because the target changes
day to day

From what you describe your z10 CPs will be kneecapped to 50% of your

SYSPLEX under z/VM because we needed 3 LPAR's minimum to create the
correct environment for the developers. 

3 LPARS , 1 GB each . 1 CFC 512 Mb. We only have 16 Gb , of which we
lost 1.5 to HAS. We still needed to run 8 other  z/OS systems, 6 Linux ,
6 VSE.
All on 2 CP's and 14.5 Gb. This is not easy, z/VM worked  a treat for
us. Not fast, in fact, damn slow. But it proved that the development
ideas were true or , if not, what was wrong and how to fix.

Crispin,  our sample JCL for running EDGRRPTE is SAMPLIB member EDGJRPT.
It contains
//REPORT14 DD   SYSOUT=*,RECFM=VBA   
for report14. This identifies the file as containing ANSI print control
characters.

I suspect by sending to VM some additional char is inserted after
EDGRRPTE
has written the record to SYSOUT with the ASA print control character in
position 1. Once you amend the DD statement to add RECFM, this should no

Crispin,  The reports are LRECL=133,RECFM=FBA - so first char is a ANSI

Greg,
Sorry for not being clear.
EDGHSKP creates RMM.HSKP.EXTRACT using XREPTEXT DD. This is the same
file that is input to ICETOOL.

As I use the XREPTEXT DD, I get the more detailed information I need.
All I have done is change the supplied REPORT14 and changed stuff around
to how I want it. I am using all the stuff that is 'supplied' by
DFSMSRMM report .

Crispin, 

I'm confused by your JCL below.  What is the source of the
RMM.HSKP.EXTRACT data set?  Is it the REPTEXT DD output from running
program EDGHSKP?  If so, I'm don't see how the ICETOOL step reads it and
produces a usable report.  For one thing, at least in our extract file,
there are no data set names that begin in column 44.   

I'm wondering if you haven't edited the output from one EDGRRPTE run and
are using that to input into the EDGRRPTE step you've included below.

Kevin, 

 

Thanks for your feedback. 

 

In my case, we are already running FICON with the Shark, so we shouldn't
see a change in performance there. 

 

Is the in-rack laptop a feature be ordered with the DS6800, or is it a
matter of buying any compatible laptop and rack mounting it? Can you
clarify? 

 

I will check on Flashcopy 2 availability, although we only use flashcopy
at the volume level.

 Nigel, 
 
 Converted from a Hitachi unit emulating a ESS 2105 to a DS6800 using
 FDRPAS and FLASHCOPY in 1 day, (10 TB), It was awhile back but there
 were no problems or issues. Except it didn't support Flashcopy 2 at
the
 time (Dataset level) 
 
 Since the DS6800 was rack mounted, I should have opted for the in rack
 LAPTOP, Instead of table to support my monitor and keyboard only. 
 
 Oh yea. We went from ESCOM to FICON...so great for performance.

 I am looking at migrating from an ESS 2105-800 shark to a used DS6800
 1750-522. 
 
 I am curious to learn if anyone has done a similar conversion and can
 comment on the relative performance of the two storage subsystems. The
 IBM redbook SG24-6781-02 says the DS6800 will out-perform the 2105-800
 shark in most zOS implementations. 
 
 I am also interested in hearing from someone who has installed a used
 DS6800 and if they had any issues installing and setting up the DS
 Storage Manager software.

The original idea was to find and easy/quick/safe way to clone systems
with the 23 packs that are SYSRES , TARGET, DISTRIBUTIO JES/PAGING
WebSphere DB2/IMS Cics etc etc etc.

So there are some, thou not too many VSAM files. Paging, SMS,  CSI etc. 

I see now that I would be able quite easily to clone RES and PRD packs
to get a system up and running. Then restore other stuff and VSAM after.
With the right setup, it should not take too long. Mainly requires good
planning

 not.

This took time to prepare and execute but it's a simple solution that

Thanks for the thoughts. However what I (and my manager) think is
totally irrelevant. Upper managements wants to cut costs. They have
targetted SAS as something that is not mission critical (and I guess it
isn't) and so it can be eliminated. So let it be written! So let it be

Anybody out there using DFSMSRMM server/Client on systems that are using

The DFSMSRMM Implementation and Customization Guide has confusing statement
in it. Which of these two are true ?

'All client and server systems must be at least at this release level.  

You can share the control data set with other systems that run any supported

I am trying to set up DFSMSRMM Server client support on a z/OS 1.7 system.

is NO pack/file sharing. This works fine. Should I be able to add to more

systems, it fails.

SDSF and zIIP and zAAP in DA display

2008-01-25 Thread Crispin Hugo
When we have a z/OS 1.9 (or 1.8) system in an LPAR with zIIP and zAAp
processors. SDSF shows the amount of usage on the DA panel.

SDSF DA Z27   ZOS18PAG0  CPU/L/Z  16/ 14/  0   LINE 1-1 (1) 

If I am running z/OS 1.9 (OR 1.8) under z/VM 5.3 with zIIP and zAAP
processors the SDSF panel shows


SDSF DA Z90   ZOS19PAG0  CPU  11  
 

Which is what I would expect if the processors were not there. 

If I go right on DA display I can see that the zIIP and zAAP processors are
being used as the zAAP-USE% changes.

The SDSF manual states:

CPUFMT (LONG) | (SHORT)| CPUFMT=LONG | SHORT   | 

  ||___|

 

 

 

Specifies whether SDSF displays the MVS, LPAR and zAAP views of CPU busy on
the title line of the DA panel, or only the MVS view. The LPAR and zAAP
views require RMF.

 

   LONG  indicates that all values are displayed. The LPAR view is shown
only when in LPAR mode. The zAAP view is shown only when a zAAP is defined
and the system is in LPAR-mode.SHORT  indicates that only the MVS view
is shown.  The MVS view (the first value on the title line) is a better
indicator of a CPU bottleneck. The LPAR view (the second value, if present)
takes into account several states related to PR/SM. The zAAP view (the third
value, if present) shows usage of the zSeries Application Assist Processor.

  

   ___ 

  | CTITLE (ASIS) | (UPPER)   | CTITLE= ASIS | UPPER   |

 
Is there a way I can make the z/OS system think its in LPAR mode ?

Re: Flashcopy on DS6800

2007-09-28 Thread Crispin Hugo
I agree that Flashcopy on Ds6800 cannot compare with ESS. I believe that it
is partly the small cache available (4Gb) and probably a design feature to
make people go for ds8000 if they are serious user of flashcopy.

Why do you Flashcopy twice. Why not do it once once, backup to tape and let
TESTLPAR use the copy till next time.

Are you having to do all the install yourself or are you getting any help
from IBM ? . It s not too difficult but there are quiets a few 'danger'

I am afraid I will have to disagree that you can't have HSA at 1024Mb as
this is what we have on our z9.

RMM and Auto Loaders

2007-07-19 Thread Crispin Hugo
Anyone know how I can get RMM to reject invalid scratch tapes in the
autoloader on 3590  WITHOUT using the EUGUX100 exit ?

Currently it unloads invalid tape but does not read in next tape.

z/OS NFS Client to Linux NFS

2007-07-18 Thread Crispin Hugo
I have been asked to set up z/OS NFS client to access Linux files on Redhat.
I have searched the archives and found little information. Documentation on
z/OS client is very sparse.
Any pointers/problems/gotchas  etc I should be aware of. The requirement is
to have 100 plus user accessing 50 or so folders on Linux to update files on
Linux system/s.

3590-e11

2007-07-06 Thread Crispin Hugo
Has anyone had problems with 3590-E11 on A60 in system mode and z/OS ?
We have 3590-B11's on A50 in system mode and they work fine. We have just
acquired 2 3990-E11's on an A60 controller and when in system mode, they do
not load tapes . They just sit there with MPRIVAT flashing away.

The definitions in IOCP etc are EXACTLY the same as for 3590-B11 which work
fine.

IEBGENER and unlabled tape

2007-01-08 Thread Crispin Hugo
I have a tape with no VOL1, HDR1/2. Just data. I want this to be input to
IEBGENER.  I specify DCB information.

//SYSUT1   DD  DCB=(RECFM=FB,BLKSIZE=32720,LRECL=80),
// LABEL=(2,NL),  
// UNIT=590   

I get error I IEC145I 413-18,IFG0194A,MCHJOB,COPYXMT,SYSUT1,0590   

Error seems to imply that I need a VOL=SER= but the tape has no VOL1. What
am I doing wrong.

IODF Definitions for ICP

2006-09-22 Thread Crispin Hugo
We are looking at using ICP (CF) to connect two LPAR's in a sysplex on a z9.
We have run two z/OS systems sysplexed under z/VM we did not need any thing
changed in IODF. I gather we need to add some information in the IODF if
using real ICP. Can some kind person tell me how/where I can find out how to
do this.

I have a RACF profile defined for the master catalog CATALOG.Z17.MASTER
which has a UACC of READ with group TSG in the access list with ALTER. The
profile is owned by group TSG. The profile is defined as Generic although it
is the fully qualified name. Group SYS1 is not mentioned at all in the

It seems however that any userid that is in group SYS1 can still UPDATE the
master catalog. For example a DEFINE ALIAS works from any userid or task
associated with a group SYS1 user. Is this set up as a standard? I can't
find anything obvious in the documentation.

Sharing z/OS DASD under VM

2005-11-03 Thread Crispin Hugo
Quick question to the experts,
Is there an easy way to share a DASD between 5 or more z/OS systems under
z/VM. We would like to put some files on DASD that can then be read by
another other z/OS system who has access to the DASD. I don't want more than
1 machine to write to any file. Sort of read only access required. The data
sets do not need to be cataloged.

Oh, I'm not too sure how well z/OS will tolerate a read only disk. I
remember doing it long ago with MVS 3.8j and VM/370. I'd get some
strange I/O errors at times.

Even when you open a dataset for just INPUT, OPEN may want to rewrite 
the F1 DSCB to update the last reference date if is not already set to 
today.  This will fail if the disk is read/only. 

However, IBMLINK finds some APARS from 1982 (OZ56722, OZ60158, OZ63205) 
which modified O/C/E to be tolerant of a write inhibit error on the 
DSCB if opening the dataset for INPUT.   The APARs mention VM but us 
oldtimers remember that 3330s and 3350s had a switch to put the disk 
into read/only mode.   Unless IBM has regressed those changes in the 
last 20 years, VM volumes in R/O mode should work.

The following xtract says what  z990 exploitation will give me. I have no

Can anybody tell me what z/990 Compatability would have given me, if it was
still around.

With z/OS(r) V1.4 z990 Exploitation Support feature, you will be able to
install more operating system images and up to a total of 512 CHPIDs (up to
256 CHPIDs maximum per operating system), allowing each z890 except the
smallest sub-uniprocessor equipped capacity setting to access more channels,
Coupling Links, and LANs - ESCON (up to 420 channels), FICON Express (up to
40 channels), ISC-3 (up to 48 links), and OSA-Express (up to 40 ports). 
The z990 exploitation support seems to be to allow more channels more lpars
more channels etc. for

z990 Compatibilty Support allowed a customer to define the new processor
type 2084 (z990) or 2086 (z890) from an existing processor using HCD and
then run z/OS on the new processor without taking advantage of new z900
features.  The new z990 features would be available under Exploitation
Support.

From IBM:
Compatibility support by the different operating systems allows you to run
existing workloads while being able to immediately take advantage of the
increased computing capacity and improved performance of the z990 server.
Although determined by individual operating system, z990 Compatibility
support generally provides for the following:

Support for a single logical channel subsystem (LCSS)
Support for up to 15 LPARs


Hope this helps,

Sorry Shane,
You must have missed the first note. We use VM, I don't use HCD so no probs.

Re: LPAR Configuration on z/890

2005-06-19 Thread Crispin Hugo
Thanks to those who tried to help.
The problem has been resolved now. By default the system seems to select ALL
Usage domain indexes  and PCI stuff candidates. White in selection means NOT
selected, grey means selected.

What a waste of a week end.

LPAR Configuration on z/890

2005-06-18 Thread Crispin Hugo
I am trying to configure LPAR's on z/890. Every time I try to bring up
second LPAR I get message about cryptographic usage domain index and PCI
candidate lists not being unique

I have read the manuals but do not understand how to make these unique. I
also fail to see why I should have to go to al this bother when we are not
going to use any crypto stuff anyway.

Any clues would be gratefully received.

It's quite easy, fortunately.
I don't have HMC right here, but AFAIR there is a tab called PCI Crypto. 
On this tab you can choose what (which) crypto hw you want to use with 
this LPAR. If you don't want crypto, just don't assign anything.
If you want, then assign them and THEN you have to assign security 
domain. There are up to 16 domains, they should be unique across LPARs.
