Please pardon my ignorance, but what is a PCI? PCI has to do with Payments for Credit Cards and their security. The PCI Security Standards Council offers robust and comprehensive standards and supporting materials to enhance payment card data security. These materials include a framework of specifications, tools, measurements and support resources to help organizations ensure the safe handling of cardholder information at every step. The keystone is the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), which provides an actionable framework for developing a robust payment card data security process -- including prevention, detection and appropriate reaction to security incidents. For device vendors and manufacturers, the Council provides the PIN Transaction Security (PTS) requirements, which contains a single set of requirements for all personal identification number (PIN) terminals, including POS devices, encrypting PIN pads and unattended payment terminals. A list of approved PIN transaction devices can be accessed here. To help software vendors and others develop secure payment applications, the Council maintains the Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA-DSS) and a list of Validated Payment Applications. The Council also provides training to professional firms and individuals so that they can assist organizations with their compliance efforts. The Council maintains public resources such as lists of Qualified Security Assessors (QSAs), Payment Application Qualified Security Assessors (PA-QSAs), and Approved Scanning Vendors (ASVs). Large firms seeking to educate their employees can take advantage of the Internal Security Assessor (ISA) education program.

Chip, what does your enviroment look like? I don't know of any documents specifically describing how to. I have my own procedure that avoids the out of sync. I have 3 stand alone lpars and two 2 lpar parallel sysplexes on two cecs. I have one iocds. Its on a dasd device shared by all lpars. I make all changes on the sysprog lpar. I then do a h/w and s/w activate. I do a h/w and s/w activate from an lpar on the other cec. I then do s/w activates on all remaining lpars. Since following this processs i haven't had a problem.

Re: increase central storage to an lpar
The only way to add storage is to update the IMAGE profile for the LPAR and then shut down the LPAR. Be sure to DEACTIVATE (from the HMC) the LPAR and then IPL. If the memory isn't available the activate will fail. And coincidently in another thread Don Williams says: Use HMC to go to Single Object Operations. From there go to Storage Information in CPC Operational Customization. Depending on your processor model you might not have 16G available. HSA on z9 and earlier processors is taken from the total storage. Use the HMC to see how much available storage you have to play with. I think the max HSA on a z9 is 2.5G - that's how much I take out before allocating the rest to LPARs.

When they apply the microcode the engine is immediately available. Providing you have set up the image profiles with reserved CPUs defined you can simply CF CPU(nn),ONLINE. A D M=CPU will show + for online CPUS, - for reserved or offline CPUS.

Re: cpu upgrade
Or if I miss read you and you are changing say, a model 503 to a 703 the change is immediately recognized with no action by you.

Re: IODF Change...
Do a D IOS,CONFIG command. Are you really running on the modified IODF in the TEST LPAR? When I want a specific IODF I change LOADxx and specify the IODF suffix explicitly (normally run with **).

Re: IBM halves mainframe Linux engine prices
We have done that.

Is there a discount of some sort? For reasons I shall not get in to (as I probably don't have all of the facts) we are planning on eliminating the IFL we currently have when we go to our next machine. You might try to get IBM to convert the IFL to a zIIP or a zAAP on your current machine. Maybe you can get a discount on that. zIIP and zAAP also carry forward. -- Tom Marchant -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
