Title: Initially setting up CSE

Assuming you have VM running, try attaching the pack to MAINT running XLINK FORMAT against it. If you have a guest VM you can IPL at will then do this from the guest.   If the pack is addr 0789 and volid PACKA: CP DETACH 789 SYSTEM CP ATTACH 789 * xlink format ff8 vmtool CP DETACH 789 If you can’t detach from SYSTEM, substitute CP DEFINE  MDISK 789 0 END PACKA for my initial detach-attach sequence   This e-mail, including any attachments, may be confidential, privileged or otherwise legally protected.

Sent: Monday, September 18, 2006 4:34 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Initially setting up CSE   I finally got all the pieces, and started working on a zVM v5.2 system with CSE. My problem is that, when I try to turn on CSE in the SYSTEM CONFIG, I get then get several of the following messages in the IPL: HCPLNM2880E MAINT 0190 is not linked, CSE LINK I/O ERROR, Code 02 The description of the error implies that XLINK FORMAT needs to be run on the device, but how do you do that initially, without the system running? I seem to be caught in a "chicken and egg" type loop…. --  .~.    Robert P.
