Hello All, thanks to all who responded. After hours of struggling, I manage to set up a IOCDS which I was able to get at the tape drives, DASDs and 3174. IPLed the standalone ICKDSF and DDR. I was very happy to be able to restore all 5 CP OWNED volumes.
Came to the monent of truth.... IPL'ed VM.... hit the terminal... nothing... After spent hours investigating and trial many different address on the 3174, I only can figure out that VM can't get at the 3174 because in the SYSTEM CONFIG file, it says: Operator_Consoles 001F 0020 0021 0022 0023 Emergency_Message_Consoles 0020 0021 0022 0023 And in MP2003 world, I think there are no channel 0 anymore and there re no good old 01F(the integrated console) hangs on that channel either. I think the address (at least the UU) has been hardcoded as 40-5F on the 3174 controler. I was very tire.... my brian can only think of a few solutions: 1) find an IBM "Productivity Centre" near Washinging, DC (if there are such thing in US!), restore the 5 pack VM system, IPL it and fix the SYSTEM CONFIG to include 040 - 043 (the address on that 3174); Backup the 230RES, restore it back here and I should be in business.... 2) reconfigure the 3174 to start the UU from 20 - well, the Utility and a backup disk are there.... only thing I need is a manual. Anyone has a LINK I can get a softcopy? 3) get a zVM DVD? How and where? Anyone has a better idea on how to resolve this problem?
