Yes, really!! :-)
And it appears that way on a z/VM 4.3 system as well. I suspect that the
locked information might have gone away as part of the major CP storage
management rewrite done to better support the new 64 bit architecture.
That's just a supposition on my part, though.

Either the code or the messages are out of synch. But z/VM 5.2 only shows
'Locked=---', so maybe z/VM 5.1's INDICATE reply is a between-release
fluke.
IIRC, the old CP command 'LOCK' was dropped at z/VM 5.1.

Re: Storage
Hi, James.
According to the on line help for the CP INDICATE command:
Locked=---
is included for compatibility only. It is always displayed as
dashes.
There may have been a time when NSS pages could be locked somehow, but
that functionality is no longer in z/VM.

I know we won't be buying but thanks for the info.
Regarding the ind nss all command I'm wondering what the locked means if
locking is not possible?

No, z/VM does not provide a set of native CP/CMS commands that will
show
you what you are looking for. You need to invest in a good z/VM
monitor,
such as the one Velocity Software offers. If you are doing any serios
z/VM work at all, you'll need it sooner or later......
No, you can not lock the pages of an NSS such as CMS. NSSes are owned
and controlled by CP, and you can only lock pages that belong to
specific virtual machines....

Is there a way to see how storage is being used?
i.e. at any point in time who is using how much storage?
I can see this for each individual user via ind user.
I can see total via q stor
I can see trace via q traceframes
....but I don't see one command that "puts it all together"
How does one lock a nss (i.e. cms) into storage?
Is this advisable?

Appreciate it!
